Outsider Drama
Turning his multiplatinum Get Rich or Die Tryin' into a movie is a logical way for 50 Cent to expand his franchise, but that doesn't guarantee he can enlarge his abilities along with it.

In a country famous for its exhaustively over-the-top filmmaking, India's Shaadi No. 1 is an extreme case: a maddeningly manic comedy-romance painted in vibrant shades of neon pink and Day-Glo violet.
