Aynabaji : Pure Bangladeshi Story with Fabulous Cinematography
3 October 2016
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.
