# Lajja (2001)

2001 · 202 min · Drama, Music · India

Original title: लज्जा

## Synopsis

Lajja is a 2001 Indian Hindi-language crime drama film produced and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. Based on the plight of women and feminism in India, the film satirizes the honor with which women are placed in society and the restrictions imposed on them. The fact that the names of four women are all versions of Sita, the ideal Hindu woman's name, is a message in itself. It features Manisha Koirala, Madhuri Dixit, Rekha and Mahima Chaudhry in the lead roles, along with Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Jackie Shroff and Danny Dengzongpa.
