Tyagi's debut Mumbai Salsa is a funny look at the fast emerging
dysfunctional relationships that exists within the young corporate
India. There was a time when an average Indian was laidback,
content and with plenty of time for love, life & relationships.
But the economic liberalization, foreign investments, BPOs
etc changed all that. An average Indian does not have time
for love life or relationships and romances do not blossom
in parks anymore. In fact an average Indian spends more time
in pubs and night clubs apart from offices and home. Mumbai
Salsa is one such pub in Mumbai, where the lives of our principal
characters change forever.
