Didn't expected much while moving in to watch. However,I loved the whole movie.Didn't felt bored even for a minute.It was entertaining throughly.a light-hearted comedy.good casting and acting.Both parineeti and Aditya were charming,they did well with their Hyderabadi-lucknowi accent and looked completely into the character.I mostly liked because of the story,which was quite different from the usual regular movies.It's not that it has just delicious food but it also has a binding story with a message.direction was good didn't stretched the movie,songs were not forced,after a long time watched a good Bollywood movie.A good one to watch with family

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

Dawat-e-Ishq is a refreshing take on love, tradition, and the irresistible bond people share with food. Set against the colorful backdrops of Hyderabad and Lucknow, the movie brings together a story that is as flavorful as the dishes it showcases.
I enjoy this movie whenever I watch it. I really liked the role and acting of Aditya Roy Kapur in this movie.
What sets Dawat-e-Ishq apart is its subtle critique of societal norms, particularly the dowry system. The movie delivers its message without being preachy, using humor and drama to spark reflection.
Overall, Dawat-e-Ishq is a refreshing romantic-comedy that serves up a perfect mix of love, laughter, and food. It's a treat for both the heart and the taste buds! If you're a fan of feel-good movies with a meaningful undertone, this one is a must-watch.

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.
This movie starts beautifully, and draws you in. Wonderful heartfelt performances, soulful and energetic music that fits with the Hyderabadi / Lucknavi cultures - this movie had a lot going for it.
So what was missing? A heroine that one could root for, characters that were consistent. The father is an intelligent, poor, kind hearted typical Indian middle class soul who has spend decades walking the path of honesty and yet he suddenly flips and enthusiastically joins his daughter in her plan of crime because of an accident. This was not believable.
The heroine was obnoxious - a poster child for everything that is wrong with the so-called new feminism. She is ill mannered, rude to guests, downright unethical, selfish, bordering on psychopath, the way she steals money from the hero without any compunction. It is only when she goes down the path a while, that she feels any repentance, which is too little, too faint and too late.
And yet, just for the wonderful performance by all concerned, the beautiful direction, editing and cinematography, watch it. Movies like this should be supported - we have too little of these movies in the industry. Note to the team - next time, strengthen the script!

- Goofs[Around 0:43:40] Tariq spots a couple dining in his restaurant, while standing in the balcony.

They only had had a short conversation for scheduling the eventual interview meet over phone.
