Amaanaaiy

Amaanaaiy is a 1998 Maldivian romantic drama film released on 4 November 1998 and directed by Mahdi Ahmed. Produced by Mohamed Niyaz under Eternal Pictures, the film stars Ali Khalid, Fathimath Rameeza, Jamsheedha Ahmed and Iujaz Hafiz in pivotal roles. The film revolves around a man who is welcomed with his illegitimate son after the child's mother's death and the events that proceed when his wife is not fond of the child.

The film is based on Shekhar Kapur's Indian drama film Masoom (1983) which is a remake of the 1982 Malayalam movie Olangal, both being adaptations of Man, Woman and Child, a 1980 novel by Erich Segal. However, the film majorly focuses on the character of Ashiya — played by Jamsheedha Ahmed — whose role has been derived from Supriya Pathak's in Mausoom who only features for around five minutes.
