Say regressive

There is not a single regressive tone in WE ARE FAMILY", Karan makes a strong declaration for the film which marks the debut outing for director Siddharth Malhotra, "It pretty much provides insight into the situations of today. The film is very progressive and has a modern outlook to it. Nobody, whether it is Arjun, his ex-wife Kajol or the new woman in his life, Kareena, behaves or says something which is remotely regressive. Also, while doing that, we have not crossed any limits either. There isn't anything which would conflict the traditions of our country."

Could you please tell me what "regressive" means in this context?

The writer constrasts regressive with progressive, so he intends to mean conservative, traditional, orthodox, stale (perhaps) and looking backwards.
