Aynabaji

Aynabaji, alternatively spelled Aynabaji, is a 2016 Bangladeshi crime thriller film directed by Amitabh Reza Chowdhury and starring Chanchal Chowdhury, Masuma Rahman Nabila and Ziaul Faruq Apurba.

The term "Aynabaji" itself translates roughly to "mirror game" or "mirror trick" in Bengali. In the context of the film, "Aynabaji" refers to the central character Ayna's profession and skill: impersonating other people in exchange for money, essentially reflecting or mirroring their identities. He is a skilled actor who uses his talent to take the place of convicts in prison, allowing them to evade justice. The film explores themes of identity, morality, and social injustice, all framed within the context of Ayna's complex and often dangerous "mirror game." The title is therefore deeply symbolic of the film's narrative and central character.

The film's success has led to "Aynabaji" entering the popular lexicon in Bangladesh, sometimes used colloquially to describe acts of deception, impersonation, or complex schemes. Its impact on Bengali cinema and popular culture is significant.
