Daawat-e-Ishq (2014)

Daawat e Ishq was nice movie with a good social message, good performances from all actors. I'm a Parineeti fan so I went to see the film. But must say I like Aditya's acting even better. Some fabulous songs. The Hyderabad's accent is quite amusing. The story may be a bit Hindi movie style but then you should not look for logic everywhere. Doesn't revolve much around the food as you might guess from title. Aditya's acting was impressive. Parineeti acts good always n so does Anupam Kher. Title song and Mannat songs are very good and have become my favorite. The way both the songs have been pictured are beautiful. Overall a good movie experience at end of which you would come out with a smile.

Fmovies: Director Mr. Habib Faisal work is OK. He enhanced the mood and scenes by some good shots. There was just an idea in the name of story. Idea is good but development is not. Screenplay offers nothing new. Dialogues by director himself are good and completely suits the mood of film. First half of the film is slow although sweet but second half is half cooked, slow and baseless. Incidents increased in second half but film slowed down because of not well justified scenes. I was unable to justify the first turn of movie that when the leads were aware about that Haidri Kebab is there target then why did they choose to go there? Climax action were not required at all and it looked very childish the way they executed it. Even the action sequence, when lead escaped with cash was complete non happening. Performance wise Parineeti Chopda is very good. Aditya Roy Kapoor is OK. Anupam Kher is fantastic. He uses his body language as a great tool to emote. Music by Sajid –Wajid is melodious and lyrics by Kausar Munir is good.

In this festive season many big budgets movie are coming up with top stars, most of us are saving time and money for them. Frankly speaking despite a talented star cast I didn't had much expectation from this movie and was saving for future releases.

The movie positively surprised me with the content, the delivery by the lead actors and overall execution. Daawat-e-Ishq is a tale of a young girl who is rejected by many grooms because she is unable to meet their dowry demands. She eventually makes a plan to find out the greediest groom and make him pay for it. The cast has put in great effort especially the lead cast. Though one may argue that Parineeti is used to doing loud characters, but the ease with which she carries off this role makes you crave for more . Aditya Roy Kapur's role is different from what he has played till now and frankly I can't think of any other actor who would have put more into the character than himself. Anupan Kher again proves to be a class act. Support cast, cinematography, editing are also good. One another good point in the movie is it never takes itself very seriously. Even some scenes which you would expect to be somber are lightly done, so it never loses the overall mood of the film. The dialogues and props also deserve a special mention for their ingenious humor and relevance. The only down point which I felt was the music which could have been better and have had leveraged the chemistry between the two lead actors. Also the movie slows down in part especially in the second half.

Overall a good movie with a very important message. Miss it if you don't like light hearted, meaningful comedy. Otherwise take your family to this delightful treat you won't find it distasteful.

Daawat-e-Ishq fmovies. The way to a woman's heart is also through her stomach - this twisty idea is enlivened by director Habib Faisal in his collaboration with Yash Raj banner flick, Daawat-E-Ishq which provides a spicy and eclectic romantic affair blending the cuisine culture of Hyderabad and Lucknow. Faisal is known for his penchant to craft authentic middle-class milieu with his rooted characters under the context of relevant social topics,and this time he examines the stigma of dowry practices which has maligned the institution of marriage, but in a lighter vein.

Disillusioned with love and tired of matrimonial encounters with over-demanding prospective bridegrooms, Gulrez aka Gullu (Parineeti Chopra),an shoe-sales girl, hatches a con-plan to avenge her humiliations by duping them into fake marriage and imposing charges under section 498A of anti-dowry act. In that way, she can also get hefty sum of money to fulfill her long-nurtured 'American' dreams. She cajoles her resistant father, Bujji(Anupam Kher) an ordinary high court clerk who succumbs to her emotional blackmail. This leads them to Lucknow, where they stumble upon one of their 'bakras',Tariq Hyderi aka Taru(Aditya Roy Kapur) who happens to be an extraordinary cook. Taru is bowled by the feisty girl's charms ,and while Gullu gets gradually swooned by the aroma emanating from the Biryanis and Kababs of Taru's kitchen, their plan is thrashed sweetly by the blossoming love.

It's a richly textured premise which offers us an irresistible array of starters , a somewhat delicious main course but the dessert spread turns out to be rather bland.Cutting through the colorful nuances of the city of Nizams, Hyderabad, the narrative also presents a warmth-filled camaraderie between the father and her daughter. The film's latter half dwells in the revelry of Lucknow and its rich culinary traditions which forms a canvas for the romance between its protagonists. The Blemishes - it suffers from logic issues. The climax looks hurried and doesn't convince us about Taru's sudden change of heart for Gullu.

These lacunae are however washed off by the spirited performances of the film's central characters. Parineeti Chopra imbues Gullu with full radiance, sparkles and confidence. Its a comfort zone for her to be in her 'feisty' self, but the actress takes an extra leap to get her Hyderabadi diction impeccably right, a trait that was grossly goofed-up by the ace star Vidhya Balan in Bobby Jasoos. Anupam Kher's comical nervousness reminds us of his superbly staged act in Special 26, and he shines in all sequences requiring emotional gravitas. And most importantly, Aditya Roy Kapur makes a revelation, playing the revered restaurateur with a cocky delight.

Dawat-E-Ishq has a fresh and exotic aroma to appetize you, but that doesn't last too long to tingle your taste buds.

This is a fun movie to watch and completely entertaining. We loved how parineeti chopra and aditya roy kapoor acting. They are both natural and make the acting look effortless. Anupam kher is also great. The chemistry between Kher and pareeneta, as father Daughter duo is amazing well portrayed. Its a movie with a good social message as well. And a great display of social chemistry in India. Overall its a good and fun movie to watch. Indian cusine is also portrayed so well, never really done in any other movie i know. Well directed movie and a non-conventional storyline. This is a fun movie to watch and completely entertaining. We loved how parineeti chopra and aditya roy kapoor acting.
