Chingari is based on three characters - a young postman, a sex-worker and a village priest who cause hindrance in their love.
The young postman, Chandan Mishra is played by Anuj Sawhney who comes as a crusader with innocent views. Sushmita plays the character of Basanti, who is a humiliated, frightened and ravaged sex worker.
The 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.

The climax of the film sees an exploited Basanti rising from her ashes to assume a rebellious godly figure when she decides to crush all the vices rampant in a remote village. Armed with a trident, she embodies the fury of the god themselves at the exploitative acts masterminded by popular god men.

The postman's role was also offered to Akshay Kumar, Akshaye Khanna and Tusshar Kapoor. But nobody was willing to don the soft, romantic character. So Kalpana settled for a lesser-known actor, Anuj.
