Ahmed Nadheem of Avas labelled the film as a "masterpiece" and mentioned Jumaih to be the "surprising element" of the film. Complimenting the improvements he showed from Neyngi Yaaru Vakivee, Nadheem picked his role as the second best performance of the film; "With compliments to Nahula for her character building, Jumaih was deep in the character of Hanim, portraying the role to its fullest".{{cite news|url=https://avas.mv/24396 |title=4426 is Nahula's mastepiece |language=Divehi|work=Avas |last=Nadheem |first=Ahmed |date=21 October 2016 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330060956/https://avas.mv/24396 |url-status=live |archivedate=30 March 2018 |access-date=30 March 2018 |df=dmy-all}} With twenty-five back-to-back housefull shows being screened, 4426 was declared as the highest grossing Maldive film of the year.{{cite news|url=https://avas.mv/25919 |title=25 Housefull shows of 4426 screened!
