Plot

Season 1

Maaish (Ali Azim) and Dhaain (Abdullah Shafiu Ibrahim) are two cunning and manipulative friends who con others for their own benefits. When they are forcefully evicted by their tenant for evading rent for fifteen months, the two compete for residency at Jamsheed's (Ahmed Saeed) place. Once their traits were exposed, they later manipulate Jamsheed, the die-hard fan of local film actress, Nashidha (Nashidha Mohamed), posing as friends of her. The duo were initially attracted to the short-tempered woman, Haifa (Mariyam Shifa), the girlfriend of an aspiring politician, Naushad (Ahmed Easa). As Naushad and Haifa's relationship ends citing their difference of opinions, Maaish and Dhaain challenge to win the love of Naushad's young sister, Zara (Washiya Mohamed), mostly due to her prosperity and wealth. Meanwhile, Zara's abusive boyfriend, Javid (Mohamed Faisal) is revealed to be a mole working for Naushad's rival, Arushad (Ali Usam) who is competing for the same seat at People's Majlis.
