Lakh and crore

A song from the movie Kambakkht Ishq

I don't know what Lakh means in the context of this song but I've seen it many times in relation to money and have been meaning to look it up. It means 100 000.

Crore is ten million.

The movie was silly and funny but oh my gosh, they did some strange, stoopid surgery in there. Kareena Kapoor does her first surgery as a real qualified surgeon on Akshay Kumar who has ruptured his intestines, and he talks while they're cutting him up. She enters the operation theatre wearing jewelry, big rings and a watch. In the next frame she's wearing gloves, but apparently didn't have time to properly sterilize her hands. Cut and suddenly she's there without gloves and wearing her rings again. No wonder he ends up ringing after the surgery. They must do things very differently in that hospital :)

Why is it that in Indian movies whenever someone gets jilted at their wedding they are so cool and noble and generally okay about it? They hardly even seem upset.
