Daawat-e-Ishq is the equivalent of an elaborate meal that begins with a mouth-watering appetiser but slowly loses flavour, aroma and deliciousness.

The Indian Express

As Gullu's straight-laced but loving father, Anupam Kher gives the film its only moments of honesty. The rest is an unpalatable snoozefest.

Rated: 1.5/5

Filmfare

Even the spicy and spirited performances by Parineeti and Aditya fail to satiate one's appetite for real drama. Even Sajid Wajid's tasteful music goes to sheer waste.

Whether she's inquiring about turning black money into white or asserting a woman's right to her surname after marriage, its Parineeti's pluck and effervescence that gives Daawat-E-Ishq the courage to push the plot in a tricky direction.

Rated: 3/5

Despite honourable intentions, all Faisal has done with Daawat-e-Ishq is brought every paranoid chauvinist's nightmares to life on celluloid.

It might not be the grand feast that it promises to be, but some its flavours are alluring enough for the film to be a reasonably appetizing one-time watch.

Plot doesn’t make sense ! I get the message about dowry but could have been a better redemption of the hero as he was never in the wrong!

Romantic schemes that involve the heart are to be avoided. This movie is a perfectly hilarious example of why.

Those who gave such a low score probably expected another kind of movie. The plot is simple. This is a feel good romantic movie and as such has met its goal, and beyond.

Like a lot of other things, movie making is about the finer points.. thats what goes missing in this one, leading to a downfall..

It was a nice movie when you are just relaxing. Both actors did very well with the addition of Anupam Kher in a more comedic role was great. The story was interesting because it was fresh to me.
