Starring the hit pair of Shabnam and Nadeem, Aina is the love story between a rich woman and a poor but proud man. The man's economic status leads to many complicated situations before love wins in the end. The film was a musical success and has trademark song visualisations from director Nazrul Islam. "In Aina Nazrul infused a romantic note through the songs using the elements of nature as tools to enhance their impact. His use of open spaces to create the mood of the scenes in contrast with the normal lip-sync presentation of songs greatly appealed to the audience" (Mushtaq Gazdar, Pakistan Cinema 1947-1997, OUP, 1997)
