    brilliant direction,casting, exceptional story, best Bangla movie ever

    All casting is awesome. Chanchal Chowdhury as Ayna is the best part of the movie. His performance is simply outstanding. Amitav Reza Chowdhury just made a blast on the city by this movie. and the best part of the movie is i have never seen ending like that. Totally different ending. I was surprised and thinking what he have done !!! Bangla film industry was not in a good condition. I think it will be in a good shape after that movie. The name of this movie is so much related to the story. very nice, smart and choosy name.Thanks to Syed Gaosul Alam Shaon for such a good story. Ayna is a magician of acting. He made an illusion to the society.

    Aynabaji: Exceptionally Good

    Amitabh Raza: He is one of the finest maker in Bangladesh. Previously he made so many excellent TV dramas and commercials, so when I heard that he's coming into the big screen and making his debut film, I was so thrilled and excited. Besides that, Rashed Zaman, the cinematographer (whom I call Bangladesh's Emmanuel Lubezki) was the other captivating element of this film which entices me even more. Today, I went to see the film which was the very first day of it's release and came back home with wide wonderment and joy.

    The lead actor, Chanchal Chowdhury is one of the brightest actor in this generation. Before, he was so good in Monpura (2009) and Television (2013). And now in Aynabaji he simply enchanted and stole the whole show single handedly. I can guarantee, he will win The National Award for sure. The story line was so unique and had so much depth, which allows Chanchal to make it more blazed. Chanchal is a sheer virtuoso of acting and this is obviously his best work so far.

    Not only Chanchal, the others actors, actress also put up a good show. Lutfur Rahman George, Partho Barua acted very well. Masuma Rahman Nabila was surprisingly good. There were some teeny tiny irrationality with the story line, but they are absolutely negligible, because if you want to compare with Bangladeshi Standard, Aynabaji was exceptionally good. In camera work, in sound editing and mixing, in casting ensemble, in costume, the whole film so skillfully mastered. The songs are pretty good, the script has so many punches and humors.

    Hats off to the whole team. This movie is highly recommended for all, to the general viewer and also for the other people who kind of love to see different tracks of movies.

    Best thriller of all times in bangla cinema.

    I have seen this movie thinking that it will be a waste of time. But once the movie started, I had no idea that how it dragged me into the story. Picturization was very realistic. There are small loop holes though, but a viewer will not notice it if seen once. Other than that it was a flaw less script. no where did it feel that something it was abrupt. The story was created as an experienced story teller. Nowhere did I feel that this particular scene was of no use. It had humor, taste of suspense, thrill; in total a perfect package. Truly this movie has raised the bars of bangla cinema. It is not for any specific group of audience rather it is for audience of all ages.

    My expression after seeing this movie, as it ended - I just jumped out of my seat and was shouting out "I do wish to see part 2 of this movie...."

    Simply a wonderful piece of work.

    Excellence of work has been reflected there!

    The movie is one piece of excellent film making in Bangladesh film industry till date. The hard work of the Director totally reflected including the entire teams work. Cinematography of the movie shows the development of the creative minds and technology use.

    The actors played their very well. Chanchal Chowdhury did an outstanding performance. He proved his excellence. He is an terrific actor which know from other films. But he crossed his own excellence here.

    The story line of the movie is very exceptional. Well executed and I couldn't think of any other end it could have been. Every bit of the movie had it's purpose. Well written story and the dialogues too. Music director also did very good. All the songs and background music were perfectly plotted. Bangla music essence was there.

    Overall, this movie is a very good watch! Every artist behind the movie and on screen did amazing which the movie reflects. Hats off to the team work!

    Best movie ever in Bengali..

    In Bangladesh movie industry are not helpful, standard and they are not developed. But some directors are really hard and soul trying to developing this sector. Amitabh Reza Chowdhury one of them. This is the only crime movie which is goes to level of Hollywood. Story, direction, casting, screenplay all of sector they did very well. It's a crime movie, and it full fills our expectation. Last twist is extremely awesome. which is quit awesome. If you did not see this movie, go hurry!! see the movie. you'l love it.. Chanchal Chowdhury, Masuma Rahman Nabila they are heavy weight actor in Bangladeshi movie industry.

    • Trivia
      It is very interesting to see that Aynabaji was shot at Keraniganj Central Jail when this jail was not inaugurated so far. Besides, this movie was shot in Kashimpur Jail and shooting in real jail is a such a rare experience for BangladeshI movie.
    • Goofs
      When Ayna completed the terms for the gamer boy in jail, we could see him returned to his home with a full head of hair. But due to the character he took, he needed to shave his head before. Just before the scene, we could see him in the court with an almost bare head.
