The Shameless is a 2024 Hindi-language romantic crime drama film directed and written by Konstantin Bojanov.
Bojanov acquired the film rights to William Dalrymple's Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India.
[3] Bojanov transformed the project away from being a documentary due to the difficulty of making a film in three languages and that it would be "impossible unless I moved to India".
He later abandoned that idea, but met Anasuya Sengupta, a character visualizer and production designer, and cast her to play the lead role.
"[9] A positive review in CineEuropa stated, "Despite the punchy opening shots, promising more dynamics, the charismatic protagonist and the brave portrayal of a lesbian romance in an Indian setting, which feels like a breakthrough, The Shameless relies on a conventional fable-like plot that might become tedious at times, given its predictability as well – it's clear to everyone that such a story cannot end well.
