The locations that are shot beautifully with an eye for detail looked pleasing. Credits to the cinematographer for capturing the majestic look of Hyderabad and also Lucknow.

Handful amount of emotions, comedy, and drama, were mixed in equal amount The climax scene where Parneeti confesses her love was effortless and up to the appreciation level.
A story with a strong social message is welcoming.

With big production house and renowned stars, Habib could have worked more and given a better output.
Music was no way good except the title song which was bearable.
The narrative lost its scope when the film began to move at a slow pace from second half.

VERDICT:

The film has a commendable story and cast. However, it needed a clear and different treatment that would have resulted in Daawat E Ishq the best cuisine you have tasted. All the same, it's a good one-time watch.
