Sushmita plays the character of Basanti who is a humiliated frightened and ravaged sex worker. She falls in love with the postman but is not allowed to dream of a relationship with him. She revolts and that creates a spark or chingari. Mithun Chakraborthy plays Bhuvan Panda a village priest who misuses his powers and incidentally falls in love with Basanti.
