Warning: Spoilers
This is my first IMDb review, please excuse my English grammar...

The soundtracks of the movie was the foremost reason for which I went watching it, tracks from Arnob, Shaan and Habib were laid throughout the film absolutely magnificently.

From the beginning till the end, the film stretched out unfolding plot so much unpredictable that the effect of Aynabaji (magic of mimicry) surely effected major part of the audiences in the theater hands down.

Building up of suspense has occurred from the get go, acting performance of the hero character was not only spellbinding but also very interesting.

If you're predicting this movie to be a typical 'art film' where one can tell how the story will cut curves towards the end, then you would be wrong my dear friends; as auxiliary characters seen in the movie may become center of attention from time to time, which unfolds thrilling new openings for the storytelling experience.

For filming, absolutely fantastic locations were selected, very well composed production values were used cleverly for shooting with 6K camera, true cultural essence of old Dhaka was present in the movie, stages prepared for shooting various shots for the movie were also outstanding, lovely concept of 'Hawa Ghar'!

As always Amitabh Reza told us the story meticulously, composition of each characters were extremely well thought, not a single character I found in the film was least important, which made the entire crowd grabbed by their collars to enjoy the movie.

Chanchal Chowdhury has pulled off few great tricks of diving deep into character detailing, it was a treat to watch the 'training scenes'. Masuma Rahman Nabila acted superbly well in the film, her simplicity of acting the role was reflected positively towards audiences. Dress design was also done well in the movie, Easter eggs ;)

Many would find Partho Barua better one to come out acting for the crucial part of the story, and I would agree with them, persistent characteristic of the role he played in the movie was undoubtedly extraordinarily acted by the singer come actor.

General pace of the movie seemed slow however, as the full length of the movie is way more than 90 minutes, building up sheer suspense each long scenes have played out nicely to stand out from the crowd.

Syed Gaosul Alam Shaon has enabled this movie to have a sequel, which is another great reason you should definitely watch this great movie. Dialogue and screenplay was above excellent and it was a delight to watch the Barisal local dialect performed.

I highly recommend spending on watching the movie Aynabaji in theater, true masterpiece, absolutely worth it!

9.5/10 and thanks for reading y'all :)
