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.

This is my first time review writing to IMDb, please pardon me for mistakes.
According to Bangladeshi movie industry, "Aynabaji" gave us a totally new taste. It's absolutely a new trend for movie industry. "Chanchal Chowdhury" proved his talent again; all other shiny actors (including actress) did a very good job. Thanks to all.
Choreography was wonderful and I recommend everyone to watch this movie.
Most importantly, I would like to thank "Amitabh Reza Chowdhury" and Sound designer for using modern sound recording technology. For long time I didn't visit cinema hall for watching any Bangla movie and surprisingly this is the first time I found separate sound tracks has been used in Bangla movie (In Bangladesh). According to my observation I think sound track was recorded using 7.1 channels or 6.1 channels and also of course Dolby noise reduction technology has been used.
If the sound recording engineer doesn't mind then I would like to say, there was one mistake and that is, when the political person was speaking from behind then his voice was coming through front or center channels. There could be another improvement, when the train was moving rightwards; the sound should be fade-out/fade-in to right back channel whereas sound directly gone to rear right channel. Thank you.

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.

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.
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.

- TriviaIt 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.
- GoofsWhen 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.
