The Onlookers and Him

India | 2:41 | Action | 2018 | Short Film (Animation) | No Dialogues

A man is getting brutally beaten to a pulp. As the onlookers keep watching, a solitary figure appears on a rooftop far away. He jumps from rooftop to rooftop, dashing towards the scene, just like a regular superhero who saves the day. He jumps from the top of a building, reaches the scene and takes out his weapon.

বাংলা

এক লোক নির্মম ভাবে মার খাচ্ছিলো। আশেপাশের সকল মানুষ দর্শক হিসেবে তা দেখছিল। হঠাৎ সকলে দেখতে পায়, দূরে কোনো এক ছাদের উপর এক নির্জন ব্যাক্তির আবির্ভাব ঘটে৷ সে বাড়ির ছাদ থেকে ছাদে লাফাতে থাকে ঠিক একজন সুপারহিরোর মত, যার কাজ প্রতিদিন সবাইকে বিপদ থেকে বাঁচানো। ব্যাক্তিটি একটি বড় বিল্ডিং এর ছাদ থেকে লাফ দিয়ে ঘটনাস্থলে পৌঁছায় এবং তার অস্ত্র তৎক্ষণাৎ বের করে।
