    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!

    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 : 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 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.

    A new taste of movie

    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.

    • 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.
