Daawat-e-Ishq- 2014 Director: Habib Faisal There is nothing new in this story, many people even can predict the movie, But still it's worth watching. Acting of Parineeti and Aditya's is superb. Small small elements and dialogs are very nice. Anupam Kher is a wonderful actor and he proves his mettle once again. He gets into the skin of character and supports the proceedings of movie with grace. Music is just amazing. Dawat-E-Ishq has a fresh and exotic aroma to appetite you.There will be many people who didn't like the film but I think you can watch this film with your family because the content is very clean and beautiful. Deliciously Amazing

Daawat E Ishq is racy and delightful, a fast paced film with good acting, witty dialogues and beautiful cinematography. The songs are also catchy and melodious. The underlying larger theme is about the typical dowry demand in an Indian marriage, though I am not sure how much this message will actually permeate the masses. Nonetheless even if it emboldens some girls to stand up and say no to the dowry menace, it is good enough. Even forgetting the message, this film is entertainment in itself and well worth a watch.The chemistry between Parineeti and Aditya is real and palpable, greatly adding to their performance. Anupam Kher is after all Anupam Kher and his performance is always to high standards.I do not like to go into story lines because that is what viewers will see for themselves when they watch this movie.Suffice it to say that this is a very good movie, most enjoyable and a must watch .. at least on TV/VCD if not via a trip to the theatre.See and enjoy:)

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...
