Trivia
Daawat can also mean a feast or banquet. So the title can also be "A banquet of love"

Goofs
[Around 0:43:40] Tariq spots a couple dining in his restaurant, while standing in the balcony. Though he only had a top view of them, he immediately recognised the man as Shahriyar Habibullah despite there being no indication of them having met before in life. They only had had a short conversation for scheduling the eventual interview meet over phone.

Quotes
[TITLECARD: "Demanding or accepting dowry is a punishable crime in India since 1961. But even today, at least one woman continues to die every hour because of dowry."]

Crazy credits
The opening credits appear within a restaurant menu.

A Wholesome Dish of Love and Social Awareness!

Dawat-e-Ishq is a refreshing take on love, tradition, and the irresistible bond people share with food. Set against the colorful backdrops of Hyderabad and Lucknow, the movie brings together a story that is as flavorful as the dishes it showcases.

I enjoy this movie whenever I watch it. I really liked the role and acting of Aditya Roy Kapur in this movie.

What sets Dawat-e-Ishq apart is its subtle critique of societal norms, particularly the dowry system. The movie delivers its message without being preachy, using humor and drama to spark reflection.

Overall, Dawat-e-Ishq is a refreshing romantic-comedy that serves up a perfect mix of love, laughter, and food. It's a treat for both the heart and the taste buds! If you're a fan of feel-good movies with a meaningful undertone, this one is a must-watch.
