Habib Faisal's 'Daawat-E-Ishq' is an interesting concept, that tackles a social issue, works till its first-hour, but dries up in the second-hour. Hurried Romance & a filmy climax, take away its beauty, in totality.
'Daawat-E-Ishq' Synopsis: Sick of dowry harassment time and again, a middle-class father & daughter hatch a plan, which lands them into deeper trouble.
To give Faisal his due, he begins 'Daawat-E-Ishq' fabulously well, with the story & its characters, arresting you attention. But as soon as the Hero enters the scene, the film begins to lose. The romance between its leads is hurried & offers no charm. The filmy climax, filmed at a railway station, is artificial. Faisal's Screenplay stumbles sooner than expected & that certainly is disheartening. Faisal's Direction, however, is classy. Cinematography is average. Editing is fairly crisp. Music by Sajid-Wajid lacks chart-buster quality.
Performance-Wise: Parineeti Chopra is absolutely terrific. She enacts the central part with flourish. Aditya Roy Kapur is a miscast. He doesn't suit the part & fails to impress. Anupam Kher is incredible. Seriously, how good can Kher get? His interactions with Parineeti, are delightful. Karan Wahi is wasted.
On the whole, 'Daawat-E-Ishq' isn't delicious enough, to win your heart.
