Its quite a good movie worth watching. The story is a sort of love story but not exactly. Gullu/Gulrez(Parineeti) is a girl with lot of dreams about starting her own business and moving to United states. Her dad also was in support of her. They wanted to find some money to fulfill their dream. That's how they come across the IPC 498- Dowry law, which provides a huge compensation to the bride if she complained. So they decide to move from Hyderabad to Lucknow to con a rich man and earn some money. That's how they found Taru(Aditya Roy Kapoor) and rest of the story happens in Lucknow. It wont disappoint you. But do not expect too much. Overall verdict: Good(7/10)

At one point in the film Gulrez tells the garishly flamboyant Tariq 'You are a high school drop out, your English is pathetic, you wear tacky shirts , chew paan and burp!'!!, well but that's not evident in the film though! And that's what was probably essential in Tariq's character that could have worked out more so if he was made more vacuous rather than the 'laugh a loud, good at heart lucknovi chap. Their hasn't been enough timing for the romance to develop between the lead players hence you don't feel bad for Tariq when he is betrayed by Gulrez Having said that, Aditya Roy Kapoor is likable & attractive,no longer camera conscious or droopy (like his previous projects), he shines as the robust kohl-eyed Tariq. Parineeti Chopra with her spontaneity & vivaciousness evident from her very first film is sadly restricted here within this regular glamor doll image with huge dollops of make-up, pan cake and flashy attire,not at ease ,at times, misfit to her character Gulrez! Save for that Hyderabadi accent slipping and falling back into place every now, the dynamics of Parineeti's role isn't all that we haven't seen before, but nevertheless, she is always a delight to watch! It's a light hearted film focusing on the menace aka dowry, the misuse of section 498A & a father-daughter duo's plan to con a rich guy who demands a hefty dowry forms the basic premise of the film. The actors should have undergone some strict workshop sessions to get their hyderabadi & lucknowi accent correct, or maybe a few lessons from Shabana Azmi's Mandi ! The father and daughter's big, well executed con job is lame and unbelievable! TV actor Karan Wahi is so bland in the film that one wonders whether he is just out of a drug rehab centre with that anorexic frame and excess baggage under his eyes. Anupam Kher is a delight to watch and it's good to see him in a charming role after a long time. The note able landmarks of Hyderabad like the Charminar (the film starts with it as the background), Hussain Sagar, Nehru Zoological Park making way for Lucknow's grand Bara Imambara, Rumi Darwaza and bustling Aminabad in the second half, unfortunately, hasn't been utilized properly by the DOP . Sajid- Wajid's dragging soundtrack, a reminiscence of the 90's tracks is such a waste barring the title track which has been utilized well into the narrative with some yummy cuisines on display. The film is surely one time watchable because of the sparkling screen presence of the lead cast and Anupam Kher . A much tighter screenplay could have made a lot of difference to the narrative.

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)

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.

Yashraj films is a banner that produces several films which mostly work but sometimes things don't work, They gave us crap films like Neal N Nikki. Daawat E Ishq releases in shortwhile after MARDAANI their last film which worked. The problem with the film is it's promoted as a romantic foodie comedy but the film is about dowry which is socially relevant but somehow things don't work out well, the entire change of identity and the scheme doesn't work out that well, even the romance seems hurried and could be better The ending too doesn't work out well,yet the film does have some good moments between the leads, also scenes between Anupam Kher and Parineeti are good but the film could be better Direction by Habib Faizal is quite good though it pales front of his last film Ishaqzaade and Do Dooni Char. Music is decent, Meri Mannat is a superb song by Sonu Nigam, the title song is decent rest are okay Aditya Roy Kapoor makes a good comeback after Aashiqui 2 and YJHD and thankfully he doesn't play drunk, he gets into his character skilfully and plays the part superbly Parineeti Chopra is superb however she is getting typecast Anupam Kher is simply outstanding and steals the scenes rest are all okay, Karan Wahi makes an okay debut

This afternoon, we thoroughly enjoyed "Daawat-E-Ishq" – what a relief, or I would have been furious at myself for watching TWO disappointing movies in one week, ("Khoobsurat—the Remake" was the damp squib) and would have taken a long break from spending any more valuable time and hard-earned $$$ on commercial Hindi films. The lead pair Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapur are endearing performers, and Anupam Kher played Parineeti's father without a trace of the hamminess and excess that sometimes creeps into his performances. Director Habib Faisal and his team got the Hyderabadi (I can vouch for this due to my many visits to that distinctive city) and the Lakhnavi cultures and dialects spot on. And the display of sumptuous Lakhnavi food had us slavering like Pavlov's dog - all I wanted to do upon leaving the cinema was find a biryaani restaurant, but no such luck. Without giving away anything, I can tell you that Gulrez (Parineeti Chopra) and her widower father (Anupam Kher) have had their fill of rejection from various prospective grooms because they lack the means to satisfy their outrageous dowry demands. So Gulrez decides to turn the tables and conceives an elaborate entrapment scheme, whereby she will find a greedy groom and get him to pay her hush money for having demanded a dowry, which is illegal and a federally punishable offense. She will then use this money to fulfill her dream of studying fashion design in the USA. Tariq Haider (Aditya Roy Kapur) is one of her marks, the most famous chef in Lucknow, whose family has owned the city's best restaurant for generations. Tariq takes the bait, Gulrez finds him attractive and genuinely decent, but is determined to follow through with her scheme. Do you think these willful, opinionated protagonists will patch their differences and ever become a couple? Keep in mind that this is a Bollywood film! Parineeti isn't a raving beauty, but she has what many beauties don't: she's a beguilingly natural actress who exudes intelligence and confidence. It's refreshing to see Aditya Roy Kapur's Tariq sober (Kapur has played drunks in two or three recent films) and angst-free, except when he uncovers Gulrez's plot - and then he has every right to be livid. The goings-on in the second half of the film might be a tad far-fetched, but by that point, the cast had generated so much goodwill that we willingly suspended disbelief. I love that things were kept grounded and the middle-class characters were authentically so – the "Khoobsurat" reboot would have done well to emulate the "Daawat-E-Ishq" example if they were dead keen on remaking Hrishikesh Mukerjee's enduring cinematic gem, but Sonam Kapoor had her little heart set on a prince and that garish wardrobe that tried too hard to be kooky, so Hrishi-da's authenticity and simplicity were shown the door. Too bad for them.

Gulrez (parineeti) hails from Hyderabad and is a topper in sports and academics. But her marriage plans get spoiled as the prospective in-laws demand dowry. She decides to teach a lesson to dowry seeking grooms using the law. She along with her father (anupam kher) shift to Lucknow with new identity as rich people from Dubai. There Gulrez meets Taariq (aditya) a restaurant owner and also a rich man. Both get married and Gulrez uses the law and takes money from him and returns to Hyderabad. What happens from there forms the rest. The director has come up with an interesting storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was just okay. The dialogues were well written. The script was above average but the screenplay was average. The background score was melodious and songs were worth watching. Cinematography was efficient. Editing good. Costumes were well designed to suit the backdrop while the art department was colorful. Aditya Roy Kapur was excellent and he scores the brownie points. Parineeti Chopra looks sensuous and she did her bit as required. Anupam Kher was great as usual. Others had no scope. Coming up with an interesting idea is very hard in the this day in age where in bollywood masala films are raking in all the moolah. It is here where Dir.Habib Fasial should be applauded for making a film on dowry even though it is light hearted and there is scope for a even better film on this subject.The first half revolves around elements of comedy, some romance and interesting moments. The interval bang was neat but the second half gets into a con drama which was not excepted and it needed to be more convincing. Overall, the film is very enjoyable, its entertaining and it tackles a serious subject in a light manner, barring a of couple unexpected not so convincing twists its a enjoyable watch for the whole family. 6.5/10

Ever been for a meal to a place known for its quality fare and come away disappointed? We all have occasionally. Daawat-e-Ishq is one example of just such an outing. (YRF...some consistency will do wonders). The story-is of young Hyderabadi Gulrez (Parineeti Chopra in a too pink lipstick) whose prospects for "jahez" are limited and thus she gets no suitable boys-even when they seek her out and fall ostensibly in love with her. An indignant Gullu then hatches a plot which involves snaring a prize catch with promises of much dowry, conducting a false wedding ceremony and then slapping the anti-dowry Article 498 A on them to get them to cough up huge sums as damages-in or out of court. This with the help of her doting but dithery dad (Anupam Kher). Guls however reckons without the rustic but honest charm of Tariq Haider "Taru" (Adiya Roy Kapoor in shirts which would put Govinda to shame) from Lucknow. He is loud, brash and not much to look at but has great insight and also actually wants to marry for love and not money alone. He is also the scion of a family which owns a highly popular restaurant and thus the way to this woman's heart is definitely through her stomach. Between kababs, biryani, shahi tukda and phirni, their jalebi of a love story ferments and soaks up in the "chashni" of friendship and mutual liking. And throws her off her balance... The acting was mediocre across the board. Parineeti was bland and mechanical and did no justice to the chatpata role she had. The only surprise was Aditya Roy Kapoor who thankfully for once was NOT a washed up drunk and even conveyed a fair amount of emotion through surprisingly warm dark melted chocolate brown eyes. The Hyderabadi accents were OK but the Lucknow portrayals were not. Also, for some reason there was a surfeit of pink in the film-from lipstick to an all pink Holi. Two of the songs are lovely-the title track and the Sonu Nigam number- Mannat. Kausar Munir's lyrics impress yet again. Lovely words to be wooed with. The story or rather its enactment lacked depth and was oversimplified. (Excuse me a bit while I go plan my own heist---anyone know where I can get a fake passport made?). There are a few sizzling moments between the lead pair but not enough to make us go "yum". What are missing are the accurate characterisations of people and places as in "Ishaqzaade" or the unaffected spontaneity of "Do Dooni Chaar". These comparisons, though irksome, will be made as the quality of these films is unquestionable. With all the ingredients of a delicious meal (actors, director, producer, music) it fell short of seasoning.

Habib Faisal's directorial venture under Yash raj's banner was supposed to be a colourful and yummy treat for the viewers, with.a formidable star cast of aditya,Parineeti and Anupam kher. But what a disappointment it was,If someone saved the day;then it was the star cast who acted excellent in this story less and poorly directed flick. Director tried to bring the Dowry system into limelight through a chirpy and light hearted story, but he failed. The Story started with Bap-Beti's conversation which was good, dailouges were nice and was carrying a message.Karan Wahi debuted in a nice way and did justice to his part. The story revolved round a girl, who tired of getting rejected due to Dowry, tried to turn the things around by taking money from rich guys in name of Dowry assault. Her course led her to a Bright colored Chef,Aditya roy Kapur, whose definition of love was different and surprising...How she conned him and how they fall in love is what Dawat-E-Ishq all about. Parineeti again turned out to be a power house performer, with perfect timing and expressions.Aditya was the only fun element in the movie, he was Desi, Lover, chef and a carefree persona.Anupam kher's role was very okayish. Direction and Script are very poor; music was inappropriate except the Title track Dawat-e0ishq by Javed and Sunidhi. Set and costumes were good as was expected from a Yash Raj movie. What could be a mouth watering spicy Golgappa, turned out to be a tasteless Cucumber soup. Can watch it for Aditya and Parineeti's performance...
