Development
The film was announced on 13 March 2017 as Shinan's second direction after his first successful directorial venture 4426 (2016) alongside Fathimath Nahula. On 29 July 2017, it was reported that Mohamed Jumayyil was cast in the lead role of the crime thriller to be featuring in a role he has never portrayed before alongside Hassan Irfan, a vocalist who has performed in the second season of Maldivian Idol. Filming was commenced on 22 November 2017 alongside a big cast including several new faces.

Release and response
The film was initially planned to release the film on 5 April 2018 though they pushed the release date to year's end since their prime focus during the time was aligned to marketing of Vakin Loabin (2018). However, the release date was later confirmed to be 4 February 2019 citing "political instability" during late 2018.

Goh Raalhu received widespread positive reviews from critics. Aminath Luba of Sun called the film a "five-star worthy blockbuster" and praised every department of it including the cinematography, visual effects, and the plot twist at the end. Terming the crime thriller a "revelation", Luba noted the performances of the actors to be "praise worthy" considering most of the performers are "fresh on-screen".
