Chameli (film)

Aman Kapoor is a wealthy investment banker, whose pregnant wife, Neha was killed in a car accident more than a decade ago.

Aman's presence scares off a potential customer, and he offers to pay for her missed wages, which Chameli declines.

Naik's henchmen seek Chameli out, and the pair manages to escape and go to a local bar to talk to Usman.

At the ATM Usman demands more money, threatening Aman with a knife, and the pimp is stabbed in the ensuing scuffle.

Chameli convinces the officers to allow Aman to make a call, and he speaks to a friend who has connections with the Assistant Commissioner of Police K.P.

Singh listens to Aman's story and decides to withdraw the police protection over Usman, who became an informant after being arrested.

Chameli tells Aman that the withdrawal of protection means that Usman and his family are now vulnerable to being killed by other, more dangerous criminals.

Aman breaks down and tells her about the accident, adding that it is his fault that she died since he chose to drive in heavy rains.

Chameli was first offered to actress Amisha Patel, who then refused to do the film and said the role of a prostitute won't match her character.

Anupama Chopra wrote that "InChameli [sic], he [Sudhir Mishra] takes the late director Anant Balani's idea of a one-night encounter between a prostitute and an investment banker and creates a poignant portrait of urban lives.
