This short film is mostly shot at the areas of Dhaka, Munsigaunj in Bangladesh& India. Some terribly fatal scenes from this short film will enthrall people from patriarchal society. A strong voice is raised against the women abuse by the short film ‘Nari’, in Bengali language, the name of the short film is written in a very odd way, which allegorically represents a certain meaning to discover.
