Character information:

Naseeruddin Shah as Khalujan

Khalujan is a pure romantic hearted person. In the world of crime, he is a bit of an odd cookie. A sharp minded Khalujan has been toughened up several years living in the world of guns and gangsters; yet, he is very loving and emotional at the core. He wants to go back to his village and desires to settle down in a quiet, peaceful country life existence. But life had other plans for him. Love happens to him.

Arshad Warsi as Babban

Babban is nephew of Khalujan, and he is exact opposite of his uncle and in more ways. If Khalujan is all heart and soul, Babban is all flesh and blood. Babban is lustful, hot-blooded, and scoffs at the idea of accurate idealistic love. Babban is pessimistic, apathetic to finer things in life and tough as nails. Babban discovers what it is to love and to be betrayed, during the course of the film and it makes the inactive softer side of him come alive. Babban cares for Krishna, perhaps for the first time in his life.

Vidya Balan as Krishna Verma

Krishna Verma is the mysterious woman and the forgotten widow. Krishna is a bundle of negations. We see her as a woman frantically in love, as an object of wish, as a vision of purity, and engaging herself in a lustful bout with another man. We connect with her at many levels; a complete understanding of her eludes us which is the attractive thing about her.
