Leave your thoughts about Daawat-e-Ishq.
| FilmfareRachit GuptaEven the spicy and spirited performances by Parineeti and Aditya fail to satiate one's appetite for real drama. Even Sajid Wajid's tasteful music goes to sheer waste. |
| The Times of IndiaMadhureeta MukherjeeThis one won't fill your hungry hearts, but one serving (not too bland, not too spicy) isn't too bad for your appetite. |
| Hindustan TimesAnupama ChopraDaawat-e-Ishq is the equivalent of an elaborate meal that begins with a mouth-watering appetiser but slowly loses flavour, aroma and deliciousness. |
| User ReviewMariam Jit was very heart-warming, a sweet new story with a wonderful cast. you'll fall in love with both of them and all the delicious food they show. highly recommended to watch and rewatch in a blue day. |
| User ReviewManpreet RIt was a nice movie when you are just relaxing. Both actors did very well with the addition of Anupam Kher in a more comedic role was great. The story was interesting because it was fresh to me. |
| User ReviewBernard DThose who gave such a low score probably expected another kind of movie. The plot is simple. This is a feel good romantic movie and as such has met its goal, and beyond. |
| User ReviewSophia QHighly cute and sweet movie. I wasn't expecting much from it, but I was pleasantly surprised by the natural acting, interesting storyline (with a social message) and the endearing characters. Parineeti, Aditya and Anupam Kher are complete naturals in their roles and win the viewer's heart. Even Karan Wahi is cute in a short role. Sad that this movie didn't do well at the box office, because it deserves some recognition! |

| User ReviewDinesh PA nice plot with a social message against dowry. But the loose editing and loose script brings the film down. This film could have been better |
| User ReviewHeather MRomantic schemes that involve the heart are to be avoided. This movie is a perfectly hilarious example of why. |
