Shekhar Kapur’s ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ Takes The Rom-Com Genre By Storm
Shekhar Kapur’s latest film, “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” has been receiving positive reviews since its release in the UK and India. The film premiered in the US on May 5th and has been hailed by critics for its fresh take on love and relationships.
LA Times called it an “excellent title for a new rom-com,” while Datebook called it an “arranged tweak on the rom-com genre.” The New York Times said, “What’s Love Got to Do With It?’ Probably a Lot.” The film features a talented cast, including Lily James, Shazad Latif, Shabana Azmi, Emma Thompson, and Sajal Aly.
Director Shekhar Kapur, known for films like “Bandit Queen” and “Elizabeth,” skillfully navigates the film’s large cast and many group scenes. The movie was shot in suburban London and a country manor in Suffolk, England, which served as a stand-in for Pakistan, while actual Lahore exteriors were shot remotely by a satellite crew.
With its swift pacing and enjoyable vibe consistent with hit rom-coms like “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Love Actually,” this Working Title Films production has earned nearly £3m at the UK box office and is expected to do well in the US market.
Kapur’s body of work includes historic and remarkable films, such as “Mr. India,” “Four Feathers,” and “Elizabeth.” He has won numerous prestigious accolades, including the BAFTA Award, Filmfare, and Padma Shri, and is widely regarded as one of the finest storytellers in the world.
