Madhuri Dixit's power house performance in Lajja...

Madhuri Dixit's power house performance in Lajja...

here's an intense still of what can only be called as another power house performance of Madhuri Dixit in Lajja. Her brilliance is quite easily understood from the fact that she only played a supporting role in this movie and easily gained a nomination for Best Supporting Actress Award at Filmfare.

I think Lajja on the whole was quite a decent movie and if you are Madhuri fan be sure not to miss it. She will make you cry. Here's a bit more about the film: Lajja, a movie in Hindi, released in 2001 directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, is based on the plight of women in India. The movie recounts the story of four women, and stars some of the best known names in Bollywood, including Rekha, Madhuri Dixit, Manisha Koirala, Mahima Chaudhry, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor and Ajay Devgan. Urmila Matondkar and Sonali Bendre perform item numbers.

The movie satirizes the honor with which women are placed in society and the restrictions on them. The fact that the four women's names (Maithali, Janaki, Ramdulhari, and Vaidehi) are all versions of Sita, the ideal Hindu woman's name, is a message in itself.

Santoshi says the idea for the story came to him when he read the story of a woman who was gangraped, but he felt no one would watch a movie based on one woman therefore he added the other storylines.
