Premise
editThe film opens showing the strong bond between Shahil (Yoosuf Shafeeu) and his best friend, tomboy Fazlee (Niuma Mohamed) who are popular students at college.

They are then introduced to the college principal Mr. Shameel's (Ali Shameel) daughter Zeena (Sheela Najeeb) who joined the college from Oxford University to finish her degree. Zeena quickly becomes friends with Shahil and Fazlee while Shahil constantly flirts with Zeena, trying to win over her.
