Story:
Gulrez (Parineeti Chopra), who stays with her father in Hyderabad, has been rejected by a string of boys for being unable to pay Dowry. This breaks her heart at many instances and she decides to leave all this behind and go to America for future studies. To get the money for studies, she and her father leave for Lucknow to get married to a guy quoting the highest dowry price and then file the anti-dowry case against them to get lump sum alimony.
However, in the process, she meets Tariq (Aditya Roy Kapoor), who is inturn a gentleman, sensitive and loves her for the person she is.
Now will Gulrez get married to Tariq for what he is? Or will Tariq too demand dowry from her? Will she be able to pursue her higher studies in America? Forms the rest of the story…
Positive Points:
Daawat-e-ishq may sound like a love story, but it infact is a movie conveying a strong social message. After playing a drunkard in his last two ventures, actor Aditya Roy Kapur has donned a new and sober avatar in this one and we must say, he does full justice to his Lucknowi character. Parineeti Chopra’s performance is just ok. However, the best of all is Anupam Kher. He is convincing in every scene and displays a strong acting prowess yet again.
Another good part about the film is the involvement of some mouth-watering delicacies of Hyderabad. They surely tempt you to go the city and actually taste these.
Negative Points:
The movie, without a doubt, has an extremely weak plot. Parineeti, who has always stolen the show in her movies, fails to impress us in this one. She has surely not put in her 100% and this can be called the weakest performance of her career. The chemistry between Parineeti and Aditya seems to be forced and the romantic parts too don’t gel well with the plot.
The climax is disappointing and a stretched second half makes the film a boring affair. Also a few parts of the film have a forceful involvement of romance, which just not needed. If wish the makers would have concentrated more on the message part, than the not-so-important romance.
Technical Aspects:
Director Habibi Faisal is a great filmmaker, which has been proved through his previous movies, but this one does not showcase his best works. The songs of the film are good. The title track is the best of the lot. The rest of songs too are worth a listen, but are just not placed well in the screenplay. The screenplay of the film is stretched and not really praise-worth.
While the first half was a little watchable, the second half turns out to be extremely boring and fast-paced. The boring lecture on dowry in the second part will definitely make the viewers’ take a nice power nap. Cinematography is decent as the camera covers the parts of Hyderabad and the scrumptious delicacies extremely well.
The editing could have been more crisp.
Verdict:
On a whole, Daawat-E-Ishq serves a bland saucer, which is neither delicious nor in fine fettle. However, it sure can be watched one time because of a social message it offers and Aditya’s amazing performance.
