Daawat-E-Ishq - Movie Reviews
First things first, the film is nowhere as exotic as its title. We've all been to buffets where the food looks more enticing than it tastes; this is the cinematic version of that. Apart from that, the film is unclear on its own take on the issues it touch
None of the actors can rise above the muddled script. They are serving a story that derails early and never gets back on track
The mouth-watering kebabs and biryanis that the characters are shown wolfing down at every given opportunity serve to invoke hunger pangs rather than pique our curiosity about where this story is taking us
Habib FaisalTexture is everything, and writer-director Habib Faisal is in on that secret. From the car-purchasing ambition of a middle-class school teacher’s family in Do Dooni Chaar, to the rapidly expanding business plans of a pair of hardworking Janakp
Daawat-e-Ishq review: Aditya, Parineeti’s film is an unpalatable snoozefest
Good cooking can't save a bad recipe
I'm going with 2 out of 5. What started off promisingly is never fully exploited. Shame.
Even though its not completely the foodie feast the title suggests, Daawat-E-Ishq is a breezy exercise, feels Sukanya Verma.Daawat-E-Ishq is like an exuberant menu of a newly opened restaurant that’s eager to please with its spread of scrumptious offering
I find it refreshing that even though Gullu falls for Taru’s tasty treats and his smoky eyes, she stays focused on her plan
Predictable and mediocre, Daawat-E-Ishq is the not a film Aditya, Parineeti and mostly Habib Faisal can pass for posterity
Daawat-e-Ishq may not be a perfect film but it's an adorable love story and the two young actors make it paisa vasool. Go for it because the taste is just right!

DAAWAT-E-ISHQ does have a good social message relevant to today's times, however, wrong marketing...

He has an eye for detail, keeps it real and brings to the screen the India we seldom see in our cinema. That is Habib Faisal for you. His latest outing promised to be a tale driven by the creative cuisines of our fine nation. However what starts of as a p

After the actors took to promoting their film through a Food Yatra around the country we were certain that food plays a major role in the film.

That writer-director Habib Faisal is talented, a keen connoisseur of small-town flavour and middle-class mayhem (Band Baaja Baarat), an observer of charming idiosyncrasies (Do Dooni Chaar), is beyond doubt

Garnished with love, fun, colorful settings and impressive performances, chef Habib prepares a grand fiesta – Daawat-e-Ishq . And if a sweet love story is your cup of tea, then don’t miss this treat.

Daawat-e-Ishq has been billed up as a love story revolving around food according to the trailers and even with the promotional activities being centered around a food yatra. The film is produced by Yash Raj Films and stars their favourite Parineeti Chopra

Though it fails to create an impact around its central theme, Daawat-E-Ishq is fairly entertaining.

Aditya Roy Kapoor will surprise you with his easy manners and understanding of script in his latest release. He is good, probably the best of the lot. Daawat-e-ishq is not a film to miss this weekend.

This one won't fill your hungry hearts, but one serving (not too bland, not too spicy) isn't too bad for your appetite.

For a movie that is supposedly about food, there is surprisingly little of it on screen.

in which food plays an important role. It was released in theaters last Friday
19th September. The lead actors Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapur have been
