"If you're into passionate, liberated and meaningful cinema, do check out 'Chokher Bali'" -- Ekhanshu Khera, Planet Bollywood
Bollywood dazzler Aishwarya Rai stars in this sensuous adaptation of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore's novel about a woman yearning for a forbidden intimacy. Rai plays Binodini, a beautiful widow caught in a culture where widows are ostracized from society. Her appearance in the household of an upstanding Bengali doctor (Prasenjit Chatterjee) and his demure wife shakes their domestic tranquility as Binodini and Mahendra's relationship soon cross into the realm of taboo and scandal.

Wikipedia
Chokher Bali (literally translated to "sand in the eye", figuratively to "constant irritant") (Bengali: চোখের বালি) is a Bengali film based on the novel Chokher Bali by Rabindranath Tagore. It was directed by Rituparno Ghosh in 2003 and stars Prasenjit as Mahendra, Aishwarya Rai as Binodini and Raima Sen as Ashalata. Ashalata and Binodini refer to each other as Chokher Bali. The other major characters are played by Lily Chakravarty (as Rajlakshmi, Mahendra's mother) and Tota Roy Chowdhury (as Behari, Rajlakshmi's adopted son). The film was later dubbed into Hindi and was released internationally under that language.
