Release and response

Insaaf was initially slated for release on 22 November 2011, but pushed for a 29 November 2011 release on public demand, since a majority of the audience were on vacation during holidays.[3] Upon release, the film received mixed to positive reviews from critics.[1] Ahmed Nadheem from Haveeru praised the performance of Mohamed Manik and Ahmed Saeed while criticizing the work of Yoosuf Shafeeu: "It is evident Shafeeu has put so much effort into developing the characters of the film, but he forgot to develop his own character".[1] Summing up his review, Nadheem labelled as a "different" film and warned audience about extra use of "shaky-camera" which might cause dizziness.[1]
