Jibon Theke Neya (Straight from life) is the 'national' film of Bangladesh which released in 1970. Pakistani Govt. first banned the film for its 'anti-national' sentiments but later due to pressure it was released.
In this film General Ayub Khan was depicted by a Bangladeshi actress Raushan Jamil.
You guys should watch this national film of Bangladesh. Its considered the foundation film of liberation war.
Jibon Thekey Neya (1970)
A political satire of Bangladesh under the rule of Pakistan metaphorically, where an autocratic woman in one family symbolizes the political dictatorship of Ayub Khan in East Pakistan.

Plot
An autocratic bad tempered woman controls family members-her husband, two brothers and the servants which symbolizes the political dictatorship of Ayub Khan in then East Pakistan. Both stories run in parallel. Outside, the people of East Pakistan(now Bangladesh)rise in political protest, and inside, the family members raise their voices against the tyrannical woman. The two brothers get married and the situation gets more complicated when there are conspiracies for the control of the family between the sisters-in-law by having the keys of the house.[1]

"Jibon Theke Neya" is political satire on the dictatorship of Ayub Khan in then East Pakistan. This film portrays Bengali Language Movement of 1952 and tribute to the Martyrs of the movement. The story presents dominating image of a woman in a family consisting her husband, two brother and the servants. This symbolizes the dictatorship of Ayub Khan in the country then. It also represents mass uprising of 1969 and arresting the political workers. Protest both outside in the road and inside in the house goes on. Meanwhile, the family members acquire courage to get rid of the dictatorship but another circumstance arises to gain control over the family and possession of a bunch of keys.
Prominent Director of Bangladeshi film, Zahir Raihan symbolizes the family as the country, and possession of the bunch of keys as the political movement in the film. The story was written with great care to portray the incidents of political movement metaphorically. All of the cast of the film have done tremendous acting. In this film, several prominent songs such as "Amar Bhaiyer Rokte Rangano", song based on Language Movement, "Karar Oi Louho Kopat", song written by rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam and "Amar Sonar Bangla" which was later taken as the National Anthem of Bangladesh was used. It is said that this film inspires Liberation War in 1971 and the songs were inspiration for the freedom fighters.
For all type of audience, this can be a worth watching film. Audience can have knowledge about 1952's Language Movement, 1969's mass uprising from this classical one of Zahir Raihan.
One of the best Bengali movies which stirred the whole nation during the most important and glorifying period of Bangladesh

"Jibon Theke Neya" is a timeless classic directed by one of most potential directors of Bangladesh Zahir Raihan. It tells story of Bangladesh under Pakistani dictatorial rules in the 70's metaphorically. Zahir Raihan took a bold step to portray the political movements in the then East Pakistan with this movie. Inspired by events surrounding the mass uprising of 1969, the movie was released prior to the war but still represents the true spirit of independence. In this movie the National Anthem of Bangladesh,"Amar Shonar Bangla Ami Tomay Bhalobashi" was played for the first time. The song was not only used as the National Anthem but also was able to generate the sense of Bengali nationalism among the masses. The lyrics of the song that was sung inside the jail captured in the movie too will make clear how motivational it was. It is summarized like this 'break that lock, break that iron gate of jail, fire on the jails and release all victims'. So it is not only a movie to be picture of the socio-political scenario but proved to be an effective catalyst in bringing about the people of East Pakistan under the same banner that demandedi ndependence and autonomy.
