Chameli (Translation: "Jasmine") is a 2004 Indian Hindi film.[1] It stars Kareena Kapoor and Rahul Bose, and was directed by Anant Balani, who died before the film was complete; after his death, Sudhir Mishra directed the movie.
Chameli offers Aman a match for his cigarette, and he is initially repulsed by her after she propositions him. Aman's presence scares off a potential customer, and he offers to pay for her missed wages, which Chameli declines. Soon, two police officers arrive, looking for their bribe. They begin to manhandle Chameli, which aggravates Aman, who is then intimidated by the officers. Chameli diffuses the situation, and Aman's attitude towards her softens after the pair begin a conversation about their lives. The discussion is interrupted by Johnny, a young boy selling coffee and cigarettes. Chameli is familiar with him, paying his school fees and looking after his health. He promises to come back with a mechanic to fix Aman's car. Chameli then attends to Raja, an unstable young man who has stolen Rs 50,000 from his father. Raja is in love with Haseena, and is convinced that she has run off to become a prostitute. Chameli consoles and advises him, and then takes him away. Haseena, a hijra/trans-woman, arrives and playfully propositions Aman. Chameli returns and advises Haseena to run away with Raja to another city with the money. Raja's homophobic father turns up to look for them, but he leaves soon when he realises they are not there. Each incident further develops the friendship between Chameli and Aman.
Chameli's pimp, Usman, has rented her out to Naik, a brutish local politician who has a reputation for injuring prostitutes. Naik's henchmen seek Chameli out, and the pair manage to escape and go to a local bar, to talk to Usman. Chameli reveals that she cannot free herself from her pimp because she still owes him money which she borrowed. At the bar, Aman offers to pay off Chameli's debt in exchange for her not having to entertain Naik. At the ATM Usman demands more money, threatening Aman with a knife, and the pimp is stabbed in the ensuing scuffle. Aman and Chameli are picked up by the police, and his temperament causes him to be placed in a holding cell. 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. Singh listens to Aman's story and decides to withdraw the police protection over Usman, who previously 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. Singh reluctantly agrees to continue protecting Usman. At the hospital, Singh forces Usman to call Naik, and the ACP threatens him, eventually convincing Naik to leave Chameli alone.
As they leave the hospital, Chameli playfully teases Aman about how his wife will react to the situation. Aman breaks down and tells her about the accident, adding that it is his fault that Neha died since he chose to drive in heavy rains. As dawn breaks on the next day, Aman finally returns home, a changed man. The highly eventful night has altered his outlook on life and allowed him to come to terms with his loss. He reconnects with his father-in-law, whom he had avoided since his wife's death. After some time, he returns to see Chameli, and they meet again.

Storyline
Lamington Road on Bombay's Western Railway is the nearest railway
station that takes one to Kamathipura, notorious for it's red-light, in
particular, and a crime-prone area in general. It is in this area, on a
stormy rainy day, that wealthy Aman Kapoor's car breaks down. His
efforts to call for help via his cell phone are in vain, and he takes
shelter in a nearby building. This is where he comes in contact with a
prostitute named Chameli - and this is where his nightmare involving
pimps, eunuchs, prostitutes, and corrupt police officers - will begin -
and will seem to have no ending whatsoever. Written by

A Warm Love Story on a Rainy Night.
Some actors,tend to
grow on you, even though you had dislikes because of the initial
type-casting. The case in point-Kareena Kapoor. It is easy to dismiss
her as a mediocre or run-of-the-mill Bollywood actress that made it to
fame because of family name,connections or whatever; but when she gets
under the skin of the character,you slowly change your opinion and keep
an open mind about the capacity of an actor to emote-albeit she is not
in the same class as a Rehman, Rani or a Dixit. Circumstances, bring
together this couple, who seem to be woven from different societal
fabric, but the commonality of caring and sharing weaves an heartwarming
story, that reveals shamelessly, lot of the ugliness; that is the
underworld that the very society, tries to sweep under the rug. Rahul
Bose, is never a disappointment and he shows that he can play a
character better than any of the current crop of actors, who seem to
have a chip on their shoulders and they overact to cover their
inferiority complex-as a matter of fact I think he would have been
perfect to play the leading part in "Kal Ho Na Ho", but the status quo,
that makes Bollywood the Boringwood, we are forced to watch the same
overacting idiot (ugly and menacing) in every other movie. In
Chameli-the flame of love keeps burning, even it was a lit by a "whore"
