Daawat-e-Ishq
Critic reviews and ratings
-
..may not be a perfect film but it's an adorable love story and the two young actors make it paisa vasool.
-
...thanks to the likeable lead pair, the good-natured banter between them and the eventual intent of the film prevent Daawat-e-Ishq from slipping into total futility.
-
This one won't fill your hungry hearts, but one serving (not too bland, not too spicy) isn't too bad for your appetite.
-
...makes up for many of its cinematic imperfections and half-baked explorations with infectious charm, platefuls of it.
-
...may not be a romcom that you will keep with you forever but it is one that will keep you satisfied while you're immersed into it.
-
A delicious watch.
-
A relevant social message delivered in an entertaining fashion.
-
Its effort is to bring up the evil called Dowry into focus and evoke some thought around it. A rather wasted effort. Having said that, Daawat is fairly entertaining.
-
...does have a good social message relevant to today's times, however, wrong marketing and slow pace of the film leaves the audience a bit disappointed.
-
...this one seems confused. Is it about food, romance, social message or a con film is open to interpretation.
-
...a foodie rom-com with a well-intentioned message. Perhaps it's too much to put into one film, and all you get is undercooked, bland biryani, where the flavours clash instead of complementing each other.
-
The premise is promising, the intention is right, but the half-baked script fails to hold one’s attention for long.
-
A complicated way to send across a simple social message. Engages, though only in pieces.
-
...is the equivalent of an elaborate meal that begins with a mouth-watering appetiser but slowly loses flavour, aroma and deliciousness, so that by the time you reach dessert, you are exhausted, disappointed and badly in need of fresh air.
-
...a severely biryanised version of conromance Ladies vs Ricky Bahl.
-
...not quite sure if it wants to be a social satire or a serious-minded attack on dowry.
-
The intention of director Habib Faisal is noble, but the route he has taken is long and boring.
-
This could've been a real seven-course fiesta but the misguided vision and thanda drama reduce this feature film to side dish status.
-
...coasts along comfortably until intermission, then comes undone when multiple twists in the second half require complete sacrifice of logic. The humor dries up fast, and even at a running time of 2 hours, the film feels overlong.
-
...is the most irresponsible film to emerge from mainstream Bollywood this year. No, Habib Faisal, it’s not okay to trivialise issues as serious as dowry
-
...Anupam Kher gives the film its only moments of honesty. The rest is an unpalatable snoozefest.
-
...pulls out all sorts of tricks to distract us from what’s essentially a cureless dud, a no-go, a film which really has a one-to-thousand chance of being remembered for anything except that it got made and got a theatre release. It’s eminently forgettable.
