Hello, produced and directed by Atul Agnihotri, hit the theaters on October 10, 2008. The film based on the bestseller from Chetan Bhagat ‘One night @ the Call Center’ was one of the eagerly awaited films of the year.

‘Hello’ has Sharman Joshi, Sohail Khan, Gul Panag, Isha Koppikar, Sharat Saxena and Amrita Arora playing the lead roles. There is also the presence of Arbaaz Khan, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in small cameos. After watching the movies, critics believed that none of characters were able to have the same impact, as the book had on the mind of the readers.

Hello

The story of ‘Hello’ is purely based on what happens during a night at the call center. After a performance, Salman Khan (in his own name) is confronted by a mysterious lady (Katrina), who wants to tell him an exciting story only if he promises to make a film on it. On his agreement, she tells him the story of six call center executives: Shyam (Sharman), Varun (Sohail), Priyanka (Gul), Radhika (Amrita), Esha (Isha) and Military Uncle (Sharat) and how they receive a phone call from God on a rainy night that changes their life forever. All this happens after each of their personal lives have already been devastated by a storm.

Although the concept of the movie was good, yet it missed out on some breakthrough performances. None of the characters were able to portray the true image of the characters, as they were penned by Chetan Bhagat. Again, the music of ‘Hello’ from Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant, Sajid and Wajid didn’t perform well as per expectation. Barring some funny instances, the movie lacked good dialogues.
Just a day after its release, ‘Hello’ is yet to receive a positive response from the audience. Only time will tell, if the movie is going to receive similar accolades as the book.
