The movie is totally a must see.It is a perfect Diwali treat.The direction is excellent.The script is outstanding.The movie tells us about six people working in a call center. It is a tale about the events that happen one night at a call center. Told through the views of the protagonist, Shyam, it is a story of almost lost love, thwarted ambitions, absence of family affection, pressures of a patriarchal set up, and the work environment of a Globalized office. Shyam is losing his girl friend because his career is going nowhere as he trudges his way around in a call center. His girl friend, Priyanka, is also an agent like him at the call center who is about to be snatched by an NRI Technogeek. There is also the aspiring model, Esha, who is hoping for the break that seems to be always already eluding her and the man about town, Vroom, who is into well, things. The housewife, Radhika, who is constantly at the receiving end of her mother-in-law and a beleaguered grandfather, Military Uncle, who has been barred from interacting with his grandchild make up the rest of the call agents who see their worlds crumbling around them as the decisions of right sizing are conveyed by Bakshi, the boss.The movie is a must see.Sharman and Sohail were superb.The others are superb too.The music is excellent.This movie will keep you totally entertained from start to finish.This movie is 100%Family Entertainer.This is much much better than "Kidnap". A must see movie Rating-10/10

Hello offers an enticingly original presentation of familiar tales by utilizing a flashback system of storytelling that fuses exhilarating adventure with suspenseful drama. Many of the scenarios created are nothing new, but the fantastical delivery and extraordinary setting undoubtedly provide a refreshing take on more traditional themes.Hello's finest accomplishment lies within a unique method of flashback storytelling that perfectly complements the line of questioning presented during the film. Hello presents a recognizably surefire love story between Shyam and Priyanka that has been seen before. But the process in which it is used - the method of storytelling - is wholly original and genuinely entertaining. A rare setting, a coming of age flashback setup, and wonderfully developed characters make Hello a winning fantasy of unyielding love. It knows when to provoke emotions through heartache, musically driven segments and ardent drama, and knows how to keep the viewer captured by the beauty of love's destiny.The acting is sublime. Sohail Khan perform naturally and is outstanding, particularly in the scene where he and Sharman interact. Sharman Joshi is brilliant and confident and holds his own against the more experienced actors. Ditto for Gul penag. It has been more than a decade since I've seen Sharat Saxena do any decent acting in any decent movie. Here, he seems to be back on track and delivers one of his best works . Esha Koppikhar is getting typecast but she is effective and Amrita Arora is good...There is not one boring moment, and you will be moved to tears by the end of it..i would happily state any negative points I could think of, fortunately I cant. Go watch it you will not be disappointed!! :)

After a long and tedious wait Hello arrived. There was a lot of skepticism about how it would be since its based on the best selling novel "one night@ the call center". However when one enters the movie theater, those factors are hardly on one's mind. And any thought of all those things indeed vanished from my head the moment the movie started.Hello is one of the best films to have come out of the Bollywood stable in recent years. And to top it all, it has a nice dose of humor as well. All thanks to its director Atul Agnihotri and story writer Chetan Bhagat ...the life in a call center is shot simply beautifully .... The acting by Sharman Joshi and Sohail Khan is superb to say the least. Gul Penag and Esha Koppikhar is absolutely brilliant and Amrita Arrora as Radhika leaves a lasting impression. And finally, Salman Khan. yeah this guy is simply brilliant...the bang bang song is totally worth all your money...Salman and Katrina look too good together...Watch this movie for its complexity and its simplicity. What an amazing way of making the year so special!

basic concept is 6 call center employees got a phone call one night.this is not a ordinary call it's from god..now why god call him?..what he told him?..does it change their life or not?..thats a plot of movie.Concept is nice...but unnecessary inserted songs and very unnatural acting makes one of the worst movie of Indian film history..Salmon khan and Katrina made a special appearance. Salmon khan is himself and Katrina told a story to Salmon while Salmon have to wait in waiting room for 2 hours until a chopper get repaired.film describes the back-story of each character until interval...and at the end no impact remains on audience mind at all.
