    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.

    History made in Bangladeshi Cinema

    May be some people could say that it is overrated or something like that but actually this movie is a piece.A challenging role played by Chanchal Chowdhury make the movie special.Every small role was given importance by Director. Amitabh Reza Chowdhury was the real kick ass.His shooting with a drawn was a great idea.Location,photography,cinematography,cas ting,costume,set designing,editing ; everything was just awesome.The story was unique and different. The dialogue was the best of Bangladeshi Cinema.Some dialogue contains a deep meaning.It is worth to watch.And obviously in Cinema Hall.

    Ayna, a struggling actor, gets to live his profession in real life after failing in his career. A story about the dark side of metro city Dhaka.

    This is a trademark cynicism. Ayanabaji has very consciously picked up the story of the image of social conflict of locality . People live in the midst of nature. Dialectics of the realities of the main themes of the movie. Director has cleared all his talent and labor. The story has become a full movie Ayanabaji as per variation of screenplay structure, humorous dialogue and full dedication to be a successful production in the contemporary period.

    Musical arrangement was so touchy and emotionally attracted.Uniqueness of artistic way of art direction and so far every single shot provokes every mango audience to fixed in their seat. Cinematographer Rashed Zaman has done a tremendous job for giving his merit of knowledge of experience in every single shot to made screenplay as if live imagination.

    Besides, traditional Bengali film footprint it is little bit quite different for its story telling process as per 'dark comedy' images can be found in the Screen. Simply, other sides of coin of life compared as exchange of mirror reflection of the life story is Ayanabaji.

    Scripted by the director to portray the struggle of life without fantasy. it is not a fairy tale . Film is larger than life proves to be concerned of.

    Each character in the film has been able to establish a spiritual relationship with the audience. present themselves in very honest way without any kind of fraud with audience. Class character portrayed honestly has the right to present positions and relationships.

    Sound-light-period game has increased artistic value of movie audiences' interest and attraction. Shot continuity able to properly present the series of events as his urban structure creates a unique illusion.

    Filmmaker expresses his devotion and honesty. Lexical artistic value not the slightest compromise.All of the lexical grammar of the film's existence has drastically Ayanabaji reformation.

    Its a time to be a change maker. Turn to take responsibility.

    In Ayanabaji you're probably familiar with the people there. Ayanabaji either side of your story. Above all, we can;Ayanabaji able to build on our originality. Ayanabaji bet to catch the picture. Please accounts .... You bet. You may see the other side of the mirror,smiling face; the smile of pleasure.

    Aynabaji : Pure Bangladeshi Story with Fabulous Cinematography

    One of the good movies of recent times. I like the uniqueness of the plot. Probably this is the first Bangladeshi movie that tries drama and suspense genre with pure Bangladeshi urban flavor. It's mesmerizing to see familiar locations like Paribag, Puran Dhaka, Sadar Ghat etc with subliminal frames. Chanchal Chowdhury again showed why he was awarded National Film Awards back in 2009.

    Though the film has an unique plot line but I feel somewhere it lacks a bit depth as a full length feature film (probably it's the expectation from such a talented bunch of creative peoples). The second thing is the slow momentum and pace of events, sometimes you need to wait a bit more to see next events to happen. And the last thing is over using of drone and new/unknown frames to present the sequences. No doubt it is a sex for eyes to see such beautiful cinematography but this also distracts you and make you to give more attention on cinematography and frames (technical aspects) than the story itself.

    However, the hype creating and overwhelming response of the crowds inspire us that there is still a big market for Bangladeshi movies, our movies.

    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.
