She returns to her village and lives there for a couple of months until she sees one of her relations passing by there on her way to somewhere else.

The book, Binodini, is the story of a young woman, who is left to her own devices when her sickly husband dies soon after they are married. The film was later dubbed into Hindi and was released internationally under that language. The other major characters are played by Lily Chakravarty (as Rajlakshmi, Mahendra's mother) and Tota Roy Chowdhury (as Behari, Rajlakshmi's adopted son). Ashalata and Binodini refer to each other as Chokher Bali. It was directed by Rituparno Ghosh in 2003 and stars Prasenjit as Mahendra, Aishwarya Rai as Binodini and Raima Sen as Ashalata. Д¬hokher Bali (literally translated to 'sand in the eye', figuratively to 'constant irritant') (Bengali: ) is a Bengali film based on the novel Chokher Bali by Rabindranath Tagore. She meets Mahendra's wife Ashalata and the two become friends and term their relationship 'chokher bali'. Mahendra is the same man who had once offered his hand in marriage to her but she had refused. She storms out of the house and takes refuge in her childhood homeWidowed within a year of marriage, Binodini moves to Mahendra' s residence. Perversely, Rajlakshmi is not pleased with the marriage, especially since Mahendra insists on spending all his time with his new wife and skipping classes at college. Mahendra wants what Behari has and expects Behari to give in to him. It is obvious from the beginning that despite their closeness, there is a spirit of competition between the two men. Mahendra finally settles down with Ashalata (Raima Sen), a girl who was originally engaged to Behari. Binodini, therefore, finds another husband, only to be widowed within a year.

Binodini (Aishwarya Rai) is beautiful and accomplished, but the whimsical Mahendra chooses to refuse her as a wife, having seen only her photograph.

She has a girl in mind for Mahendra in the form of Binodini, the daughter of a friend of hers who comes from the same village as Rajlakshmi. Like all doting mothers, Rajlakshmi wants to see her son happily married and she would like to see Behari settled as well. Behari (Tota Roychowdhury), his closest friend is almost like another son to Rajlakshmi. Mahendra (Prosenjit) is a spoilt young dandy, the pride and despair of his widowed mother Rajlakshmi (Lily Chakraborty). The story is about the relationships between four young people, two men and two women. It is a psychological study of relationships between the sexes in a landed family, of shifting eternal triangles, complex motivations and subtle play of emotions all of which have interesting parallels as well as contrasts to our times.
