Lajja (2001 Film)
''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.

''Lajja'' failed commercially in India but was a major commercial success overseas.
