12	* ArrangedMarriage: The main plot point of the film.
13	* BirdPoopGag: Beena and her friend collect bird droppings from numerous pigeons for an Indian love spell.
14	* CharityBall: In this case, it's a charity bike ride (for kids with cancer). The scene is pretty wholesome really, as all the characters are seen participating.
15	* EntendreFailure: Bart wears a hat that says F.B.I.: Female Body Inspector. A woman sees the hat and actually ''believes'' the boy to be a member of the F.B.I. who has come to arrest two neighbours for having sex with the curtains open.
16	* ExtremeDoormat: Beena's subservient, submissive but loving father.
17	* StringingTheHopelessSuitorAlong: Beena is supposed to marry an unappealing man named Bubba. Her best friend's white grandmother hooks him in with the offer of beautiful girls at a swimming pool, who lead him on into thinking he can date them. They fondle him, and while he's distracted, they [[spoiler: shove him into the pool and leave him.]]
18	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Beena's Swedish beau is named Creator/JamesDean. He also looks exactly like James Dean for some reason.
19	* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Mary Jane's grandmother.
