Yashraj films is a banner that produces several films which mostly work but sometimes things don't work, They gave us crap films like Neal N Nikki. Daawat E Ishq releases in shortwhile after MARDAANI their last film which worked. The problem with the film is it's promoted as a romantic foodie comedy but the film is about dowry which is socially relevant but somehow things don't work out well, the entire change of identity and the scheme doesn't work out that well, even the romance seems hurried and could be better The ending too doesn't work out well,yet the film does have some good moments between the leads, also scenes between Anupam Kher and Parineeti are good but the film could be better

Direction by Habib Faizal is quite good though it pales front of his last film Ishaqzaade and Do Dooni Char. Music is decent, Meri Mannat is a superb song by Sonu Nigam, the title song is decent rest are okay

Aditya Roy Kapoor makes a good comeback after Aashiqui 2 and YJHD and thankfully he doesn't play drunk, he gets into his character skilfully and plays the part superbly Parineeti Chopra is superb however she is getting typecast Anupam Kher is simply outstanding and steals the scenes rest are all okay, Karan Wahi makes an okay debut
