Zeenath Abbas is a Maldivian actress.

Career

In 2010, Abbas starred alongside Aminath Rasheedha, Aishath Rishmy and Ahmed Azmeel in Rishmy's drama film Fanaa.[1] Based on a novel published by Ibrahim Waheed titled Balgish, she played the villainous role.[1] Upon release, the film received mixed to negative reviews from critics; Ali Naafiz from Haveeru Daily classified the film as the "worst Maldivian film released so far" during the year, criticing the performance of actors.[1] However, other critics found the performance of Abbas to be "satisfactory in her evil role".[1]

In 2015, Abbas appeared in Ali Seezan's action film Ahsham.[2] Though the film received mixed reviews from critics, her performance in a negative shade was widely acclaimed.[3] The film, made on a budget of MVR 1,500,000, was considered as the most expensive film made in the Maldives.[3] It was one of the three entries from the Maldives to the SAARC Film Festival in 2016.[4] The following year, Abbas collaborated with Seezan to star in his romantic film Vafaatheri Kehiveriya (2016).[5] The film received a mixed to negative reception from critics. Nadheem blamed the title of the film for giving the impression of "old typical" to the film.[6] Her performance as Ainthu, a rich tycoon, was considered "too simple" for her "caliber".[6] The same year, she featured alongside Niuma Mohamed and Yoosuf Shafeeu in Ibrahim Wisan's debut direction Vee Beyvafa which was shot in 2011.[7] The film received negative response from critics where Ahmed Adhushan of Mihaaru concluded his review calling the film "a step backward" in the progress of cinema.[8] At the 8th Gaumee Film Awards Abbas was bestowed with the Best Supporting Actress award for Ahsham and was nominated for her performance in Vee Beyvafa in the same category.[9][10] She was announced as a nominee for the Best Makeup artist for Ahsham.[10]
