Daawat-e-Ishq (2014)
Gullu (Parineeti Chopra from “Ladies vs Ricky Bahl”) is a feisty
shoe store clerk who can't find a suitable match in all her father's
marriage pairings. The widower can't afford to pay a large dowry,
which means Gullu is stuck with losers for suitors. After watching a news report, Gullu
hatches a plan to pursue her dream to study in America while
collectively getting revenge on every greedy, dowry-hungry family
she's had to face in the past. Concerned that his daughter will be
left alone in the world, Abdul agrees to pose as a wealthy
businessman to lure a greedy husband for his daughter. Gullu will
then use India's anti-dowry law to sue or blackmail the man who
marries her. But what happens when the man they decide to go after
doesn't want a dowry?
*This
was a cute film. The main guy wasn't physically attractive to me at
all, but his charisma still comes across well, and while the two
NEVER KISS, it's a clean, fun movie. Lots of bright colors, decent dance numbers, and the food looked amazing. Some of
the words didn't translate well, as in I could have used more
explanation for certain phrases, but that was only a little
distracting. Might watch again.*
