Aainaate (Bengali: আয়নাতে, lit. 'In the Mirror') is a 2008 Bengali drama film directed by Dulal Dey. The film features Rituparna Sengupta, Firdous Ahmed, and marks Rati Agnihotri's debut in Bengali cinema.

Plot

The film centers on Malini (Rituparna Sengupta), who reflects on her childhood and family connections while grappling with the trauma of molestation she experienced during her teenage years. Now a skilled photographer working for a magazine, Malini captures the poignant expressions of deceased individuals, exploring the emotions of their pale, lifeless faces. Her professional journey intersects with Urmila Sanyal (Rati Agnihotri), a prominent social activist dedicated to helping exploited and distressed women.

As Malini's life progresses, she embarks on a romantic relationship with Rajat (Firdous Ahmed), a wealthy businessman’s son. Torn between family expectations and her desire to maintain her own identity, Malini's situation becomes more complicated. Despite her family's support for her relationship with Rajat, they are unwilling to face the consequences when Malini becomes pregnant. Confronted with societal rejection and immense pressure to conform to patriarchal norms, Malini discovers unsettling truths about the people she once revered. Ultimately, she learns about the illegitimacy of her own birth and finds solace in Urmila Sanyal, whom she sees as a surrogate mother who had previously feared social condemnation.
