“Aynabaji” shows a lighter side in first song teaser

Amitabh Reza Chowdhury's upcoming film “Aynabaji” has drawn a fair share of attention, particularly with its first trailer. Now that we have caught a glimpse the first song of the film, it is a total change of pace.

The song, titled “Alu Peyajer Kabbo”, is a stark contrast to the gritty, tense trailer of the film. A budding romance between the characters of Nabila and Chanchal Chowdhury (who plays the titular role) is brought out in a heartwarming visual, against the backdrop of a kitchen market. Written by Rajib Ashraf, arguably one of the most underrated lyricists, arranged by Arnob and sung by the  instantly-relatable Shaan (from India), the song sets up a 'boy meets girl and is instantly smitten' scenario. The cinematography is spot on, and the small dialogue exchanges within the song add to the video greatly.

Based on a story by Gousul Alam Shaon (who also has an acting role), the film casts Partha Barua alongside Nabila and Chanchal, and is the story of a gifted actor who slips in and out of personas at will. Produced by Content Matters and presented by Half Stop Down, the film is slated for a March 25 release.
