Mariyam Majudha

Mariyam Majudha is a Maldivian film actress.

Career

Majudha made her film debut in the Aishath Fuad Thaufeeq-directed Hulhudhaan (2014) alongside Roanu Hassan Manik, which was a critical success.[1] The film was later screened at the Venice Film Festival.[2] Her performance as Sama, a drug addict, received a positive response from the critics.[1] The following year, she appeared in the Ali Shifau-directed romantic film Emme Fahu Vindha Jehendhen opposite Mohamed Jumayyil, where she portrayed the role of Meera.[3] The film, along with Majudha's acting, was critically acclaimed. In a pre-premiere review from Vaguthu, Ismail Nail praised Jumayyil and Majudha's chemistry in the film and mentioned that she delivered each expression to "absolute perfection".[4] The film was the highest grossing Maldivian film of the year, and was a commercial success.[5]

For her next film, Majudha collaborated with Jumayyil and Shifau to star in the first Maldivian romantic comedy film Vaashey Mashaa Ekee (2016), where she starred as Nathasha.[6] Her performance was positively received by the critics; Ahmed Nadheem from Avas picked her as the "best actor in the film" and acknowledged her improvement from her prior work.[7] The film emerged as one of the highest grossing films of the year.[8] At the 8th Gaumee Film Awards Majudha was bestowed with Best Actress for Vaashey Mashaa Ekee while her performance in Emme Fahu Vindha Jehendhen and Hulhudhaan received a further two nominations in the same category.[9][10] She also received the Best Female Debut award for her performance in the latter.[9] She received three Best Costume Design and three Best Makeup nominations for her work in Hulhudhaan, Emme Fahu Vindha Jehendhen and Vaashey Mashaa Ekee, ultimately winning Best Costume Design award for the latter and Best Makeup award for the former.[9][10]

In 2018, Majudha was featured in Shifau's family drama Vakin Loabin (2018), marking her third collaboration with Jumayyil.[11] The film tells a story of a young couple’s divorce and its impact on everyone involved.[12] Upon release, the film met with positive response from critics—specifically praising the screenplay for toning down its melodrama and breaking from the stereotypes of its genre—and was a commercial success.[13] In a pre-premier review from Raajje.mv, Ismail Naail Nasheed favored the character development and minimalised use of melodrama in the film while praising Majudha's acting in the first and last few scenes of the movie; "the scene where she cries alone in the room before being thrown out of the house is a highlight of the film and her acting performance".[13]
