Excellent, a Must See

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A very pleasant, easy-going family entertainer with Desi flavor of Hyderabad and Lucknow! Very importantly, anti-dowry message has been delivered in such a jolly manner in this film. Good direction. Anupam Kher as usual is very convincing as an honest single-father who is willing to sacrifice his entire life-savings for his beloved daughter's marriage, brilliant comic timing. Parineeti somehow fails to convince that she is a a topper / BCom final yr grad student, but otherwise a good - original - performance by her, she is creating her fan following for sure. Aditya Roy Kapoor is maturing as an actor with every film, good to see him play a Desi role. Okay-ish music and background score.

This movie is worth a watch. Parineeti Chopra once again shows her skill in acting as the "girl next door" and Aditya Roy Kapoor shows his romantic side. Clean entertaining storyline fun to watch even with kids. The story conveys a social message with a twist. Love all the songs especially "Daawat-e-Ishq" followed by "Shayarana" and "Mannat". Food lovers can easily relate to the food heaven they will reach with the mention of kebabs and biryani and this movie has many a reference, no wonder the name Daawat-e-Ishq. The director, also the director of "Band Baaja Baaraat" executes this movie well once again. Can a middle class girl of today find true love or will the social "riwaaz" of our society crush her dreams ? Check out the movie and find out.

Dawat e ishaq is combination of love and romance but also has a good story. aditya roy kapoor (tariq) working at own restaurant and parineeti chopra (gulzar) working as sales girl at shoes shop. and after story is great. not boring. best time spend and great work done by Director and Producer i see this movie in big screen today and i am sure this is my best time i spend. Acting of Pariniti and Aditya's are superb. Small small elements and dialogs are very nice.this is the movie you should watch. Its a nice play with very nice message, lot of fun and superb dialog delivery. 5 reasons why must watch. 1. Love, Love and Love 2. Aditya roy kapoor 3. Food, food and food 4. Great Songs (Mannat) 5. Anti Dowry Concept ( that is great)

Dawaat-E-Ishq was a nice attempt in sending out a clear message of dowry system which is very much existing in India. It was an opportunity gone miss because of the weak direction and poor script. The only silver lining was stupendous performance by Aditya Roy Kapoor and Parineeta Chopra.After rejecting multiple wedding proposals, Gullu(played by Parineeti Chopra) and her father ( played by Anupam Kher) hatches a plan to con a dowry-seeking family. Habib Faisal ( Do Dooni Chaar, Ishaqzaade) does well mixing the spices of Hyderabad and Lucknow with genuine message of dowry at the background but drama fizzles out in the second half and doesn't give you a satisfaction and you walk out of the theater with mixed feelings. It is the script which could have salvaged the film from falling into pit. Sajid Wajid's music score was superb music . Cinematography is just about OK capturing the back drop of Hyderabad and Lucknow city. Art direction was poor. Dialogues are fine. Aditya Roy Kapur gives a commendable performance. He is sure to get things going. Parineeta Chopra gives a fabulous performance towards the end. Anupam Kher is dependable.So , Overall , a decent flick which could have been made better but looses the steam afterwards !! Decent 2.5/5
