Young postman comes as a crusader with innocent views. Basanti is a humiliated, frightened and ravaged sex worker. Turning point in her life comes when she experiences love and respect from Chandan. But she is not allowed to even dream of a relationship with him. Bhuvan Panda misuses his powers and secretly lust for Basanti. Basanti revolts and that create chingaari- a spark of revolution.
