[1][2] Produced by Abdul Muhaimin under Club Scope, the film stars debutant Ali Khalid and his then wife, Hawwa Zahira in pivotal roles.

[3] Ashraf (Ali Khalid), a womaniser from a middle-class family, is smitten with a poster girl, Shan (Hawwa Zahira), and accepts his best friend Ibrey's (Ahmed Shimau) bet that he will start a romantic relationship with her.

Their affair is brought to the attention of Shan's parents, where her father, Solih (Koyya Hassan Manik), dismisses it as a false accusation until he witnesses them intimate together.

On announcing the film with a fresh face as a leading actor, the audience and the media was skeptical if director Mohamed Niyaz could deliver the required emotion and acting from the cast.

[5] Praising the film and its production in 2015, Ahmed Nadheem from Avas wrote: "Under the helm of Tedry, in his directorial debut with newcomers as the main cast, Dheriyaa is a masterpiece and can still be considered relevant even after decades after its release".
