"What's Love Got to Do with Lily James' Rom-Com?"
TL;DR
"What's Love Got to Do With It?" is a romantic comedy directed by Shekhar Kapur that explores the cultural differences between childhood friends Zoe (Lily James) and Kazim (Shazad Latif). The film is a glossy lesson in how to pour nontraditional content into a traditional rom-com mold, with a mostly sunny tone that neither promotes nor disparages arranged marriage. Written by Jemima Khan, the movie bundles its perky-sweet tale in Kapur's signature visual sumptuousness, with lovely performances by Shabana Azmi and Sajal Ali.
