First off, I am a "Gora" that married into an Indian family here in the US. My wife's family is from Delhi, and they are very, VERY old-school, traditional, and conservative. They begged me not to marry her because they would lose face in the Desi community here in Colorado. That was 30 years ago. They eventually came to accept me and our relationship. Our marriage is strong and we have 3 great kids. Mickey's family in 'Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar' is FAR less conservative than my in-laws. This film is not "regressive" as some reviewers complain. It is actually one of the more racy, scintillating Indian movies we've seen in a long time. TJMM pushes a lot of traditional Indian boundaries and customs, and clearly, it tweaked a lot of your nerves. Relax. India is coming into the 21st century. Enjoy TJMM for what it is! Young people have sex, fall in love, have awkward relationships with their future in-laws, get cold feet, crack under pressure. Old-school India conflicts with progressive India. This film portrays that with style and heart, with some show-stopping musical numbers. You can't get "Show Me The Thumka" out of your head. We thoroughly enjoyed this film!
