An award-winning performance from Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor highlights this subtly restrained, beautifully lensed film about two characters from opposite ends of Mumbai's social spectrum stuck together under shelter on a stormy night. Kapoor plays the brash prostitute Chameli opposite the charismatic Rahul Bose as Aman, a yuppie bank executive harboring guilt and grief over the loss of his wife. As the night passes, social barriers drop away and Aman shares a glimpse of Chameli's troubled world. The prostitute and banker drop their identities and come to forge a closer, human bond.
