From my limited contacts in Bangladesh, it appears that GMG is doing well and is considered to be much more efficient than Biman.
Incidentally there used to be a time when Indian passengers used Biman as an alternative to AI. In the early 90s, Bengalis living in New York area used to take the Biman flight to Dhaka and then their connecting flight to Calcutta. I suppose Calcutta wasn't connected well to NYC in those days.
