What's Love Got to Do with It is a 1993 biographical film which tells the life story of Tina Turner. This film is directed by Brian Gibson, and stars Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne.
The screenplay was adapted by Kate Lanier from the book I, Tina written by Tina Turner and Kurt Loder. The film paints a dark picture of Tina's relationship with her then mentor and husband Ike Turner. The film's soundtrack featured the hit song "I Don't Wanna Fight." The movie grossed almost $50 million USD in the US alone and produced around $20 million USD in US rentals.
There is an X-rated movie called What's Love Got to Do with It? which is unrelated to the movie of the same name about Tina Turner. As this film was released before the other film, it is legitimately entitled to use this name.
In a world where romance has been replaced by speed dating, is arranged marriage the hassle-free way of getting hitched in the new millennium? This documentary takes a lighthearted look at young American Desis who are willingly placing their destiny in the hands of their parents, marriage brokers, and internet matrimonial ads. Navigating us through the film is Rupa Gawle - a young, hip, and very single popular Desi columnist. As she tries to understand how young, successful South Asian-Americans would want to subject themselves to the age-old tradition of arranged marriages, we are introduced to a cast of colorful characters who will tell us exactly why.
