    AJ brought us back to Cinema Theatres!

    AJ has been absolutely amazing since his inception in the local movie industry. In the past 4 years, I've watched 6 Bangladeshi movies only. Interestingly, 4 of them were produced, directed and acted by Ananta Jalil. Regardless of his 'comedy of errors' and 'mind-boggling English pronunciation', he has thrown a great challenge to the experienced directors of the country.

    Along with Borsha's acting, the couple has managed to produce movies with absolutely 'Zero' adult content and still managed to bring in highest number of box office sales in the past couple of years!

    Undoubtedly, due to Ananta's fun-filled, action oriented evolution in the market, the entire industry is gradually adopting global sense of video production. Hats off to all his consistent efforts!

    Sir AJ made a legendary move.

    Without any doubt, this is the best romantic - comedy -action -suspense -thriller- surreal-metaphoric- anti-materialistic movie ever made in the history of film. Nobody can come even close to this, if anybody tries to do so Sir Ananta Jalil will be furious and chop their livers out. This extraordinary film deserves Oscar in every section but still more are required. After getting best picture, best visual effect, best actor, actress, screenplay etc... it should be voted as best achievement in surrealism for the scene where Sir Ananta Jalil grabs his heart out from the chest and shows Glamor queen barsha how it is facing bullet, knives and how it is crying, burning... even salvador dali could not come out a better idea of surrealism like this. This film also require more nominations like best 'honest' actor-Sir AJ, best song near to vdo game, honorary achievement for miracle from a parallel world...etc. Though this movie is so unbelievably good, I will recommend you to not watch this. Cause then you will not be able to enjoy other movies. All will seem awfully dull, and you will ask the question "What is movie?".

    A Romantic fiction

    You cannot say that "Nishwartha Bhalobasa" is a kind of movie that you want to see again and again, but it is a movie worth watching. Producer is Anonto Jalil who is also the director and the main hero of this movie. Meghla is the glamorous-gorgeous looking heroin with all her luck for getting unbelievable love from Ananta. Nishwartha Bhalobasa means love without any selfishness, which is actually impossible to get in this realistic world but can be possible with only for Anonto Jalil, because doing the incredible thing is the main passion of AJ. His love for Meghla looks much deeper than any other popular romantic drama characters like Romeo, Juliette, Shirin, Forhad, etc. This movie shows the emotional engagement between Ananta and Meghla, which cannot be understood by a normal fellow from the Europe or America. For them, this movie will be a question: What is Love? Yes, my friend if you really want to dig deeper into this question, "what is love?" then this romance-fiction is only for you ;)

    The MOST Entertaining movie ever made in the history of mankind

    Yes. It is. Mark my word fellas. If you do not hurt your stomach laughing your buttocks off, I will go and drown myself in the river of Buriganga. Good things about the movie: Casting, Plot, Character Development and everything that is needed to make an epic movie. Bad thing: Not enough dancing moves from the great Ananta sir. Just bring your friends or cousins in with you and get ready for the most entertaining 2 hours of your life. And yeah, don't forget to breath. At times, the movie gets so intense that there is a good chance you may forget to breath or mistake the old lady sitting beside you for your long- awaited girlfriend.
