Chaitali vit dans un monde très différent de celui de Hrishikesh Mukherjee, où la plupart de ses films sont restés à l'écart de la représentation des couches les plus sombres de notre ordre social. Le récit est centré sur Chaitali (Saira Banu dans le rôle-titre), une femme qui a été forcée par ses circonstances et son éducation malheureuse à occuper un espace qui la hante constamment, mais dont elle ne parvient pas à s'échapper. En créant un contraste frappant, sa vie fusionne avec un foyer urbain de classe moyenne Hrishikesh Mukherjee plus typique, plein de valeurs familiales et de droiture.

The film is based on an age-old Buddhist folktale connected with Mauryan Emperor Ashoka's son Kunal. The Mauryan prince Kunal was courted by Ashoka's younger queen Tishyarakshita and when he rejected her advances, was falsely accused by the queen of trying to seduce her and was thrown into prison and blinded. The story, however, comes to a happy end with his eyesight being restored by Lord Buddha and the king acquits of all the charges.
