    A must watch!! will bring a big smile on your face....full on entertainment

    Amazing acting, story and direction. Definitely one of the top 10 Bollywood films to watch if your a Bollywood lover. Its not the usual dragged love story. Aditya Roy Kapur is a complete delight to watch, if you loved him in Aashiqui 2 you'll love him even more in Dawat e Ishq. Parineeti and Anupam Kher were very good too (their Hyderabadi accents were very good). Karan Wahi makes a sweet guy entry with his first film. If your a foodie it will be even better for you. It is a sweet film with love, comedy, a good message, and its fun filled. You will definitely be smiling walking out of the theater. It wont harm you but definitely amuse you.

    Deliciously amazing!

    Whenever we see a romcom, we expect something new but come out saying that it was the very mainstream one. But not with this one. It's an epic Romcom that also delivers a beautiful message which only few people will be able to receive. Its amazing to watch how two people get bonded over food. The script is phenomenal, dialogues are superb, directions are fab! Truly hats off! I mean, if you're looking forward for an amazing weekend, you should definitely book the tickets. Be it with your, lovers, friends, family whoever. You will thoroughly enjoy the 2.5 hours of watching the movie. I recommend to watch it in a good theater. Speaking of the cast, Parineeti Chopra, undoubtedly has done a FANTASTIC job, all over again in this one. Her very typical and desi Hyderabadi accent will WOW you! ARK was also good. Please go and watch the film. Its good to watch such talented actors on the big screen.

    Anti-dowry message delivered in a very non-controversial manner!

    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.

    Decent pop corn light hearted drama

    The irony of Bollywood is - Had it been a bigger star in this movie, it would have been a bigger hit at the box office. Apparently Aditya is a very underrated actor. His chilled out attitude was perfect for this role. Wish audience accepted him more as a solo hero. Parineeti is fine.

    Worth Watching it - A Modern society's cute love story

    There is nothing new in this story, many people even can predict the movie, But still its worth watching. Acting of Pariniti and Aditya's are superb. Small small elements and dialogs are very nice. Movie is realistic and if you are still enjoying your lively love life, this is the movie you should watch. There is nothing new in story but it still holds you till the end. Thanks Bollywood for giving such nice movie. Its a nice play with very nice message, lot of fun and superb dialog delivery. Watch it with family, as there are very few movies now a day coming out from Bollywood for family. Direction and locations do not have anything special but they makes the realistic scenes and perfectly suites the movie.

    • Trivia
      Daawat can also mean a feast or banquet. So the title can also be "A banquet of love"
    • Goofs
      [Around 0:43:40] Tariq spots a couple dining in his restaurant, while standing in the balcony. Though he only had a top view of them, he immediately recognised the man as Shahriyar Habibullah despite there being no indication of them having met before in life. They only had had a short conversation for scheduling the eventual interview meet over phone.
