I watched Aynabazi Movie at the Star Cineplex, Dhaka back in 2016. It was the first ever crime thriller movie that I watched in a theater. Later I watched again on TV but didnt get the same flavour like the theatrical experience. I could have been written a long write-up on it, but decide not to give any clearcut spoilers.
I always believe that the core competencies of a person could lead him/her to survive in this cruel world. So, we need to nurture our competencies whatever our situation would be.
Sharafat Karim Ayna (Chanchal Chowdhury) is a person who lives in a small room of an old and shrivelled house in Old Dhaka. He runs a small acting school of children. He aspired to become an actor but the fate decides otherwise. He possesses an enormous skill of METHOD ACTING and in this skill he could morph into any character. Ayna converts himself fully on that particular character as if he is that person in real. He befriends with Hridi (Nabila) who develops soft corner by seeing Ayna's struggling, impoverish life but a kind hearted contribution to the children. Hridi is a kind hearted girl who lives with her father and a house assistant (Akter Hossain). However, Ayna's enormous skill has been recurrently used by the corrupted people of the city to woo laws and people's eye and Ayna, to survive himself in this ruthless city, sacrifices his ethics of being a good man. Crime reporter Saber (Partha Barua) follows Ayna for a long time to reveal the linkage between him and the dark world of the city.
The acting of Chanchal was unparallel. After tremendous success in Monpura (2009), he escalates his standard of acting in a new echelon. If he was performed this Aynabazi performance at any Hollywood movie, he would be flooded by accolades, praises and awards from all over the world. Feeling sad that he is a Bangladeshi actor where he would never get such platform to unleash his true potential. I also praised the performance of Partha Barua, who is a renowned singer of Bangladesh. Though a small screen timing, Nabila performed very well.
The same things of being a small movie industry person, story writer Gousul Alam and the director Amitabh Reza Chowdhury could get more attention if they were in Hollywood. As a crime thriller fan, I expect more stories from Gousul Alam like this. Amitabh Reza is a renowned media person who extends his talent by directing this movie which was his directorial debut.
Music of this film was memorable. Personally I like the song "Dhire Dhire Jao Na Shomoy" by Habib Wahid and Anweshaa. The particular scene of this song, where Nabila stands in the rooftop of a building facing the river buriganga was scintillating. That snap was instantly viral amongst all Bangladeshi people. I have searched on that building and found that building is a private property and not for taking a Personal Photography there.
Aynabazi receives 7 awards at the Bangladesh National Film Awards 2016 which are: Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Sound Recording and Best Costume Design
