Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

None from my family were that keen about this film. I myself preferred watching a movie directed by Sanjay Gadvi instead of this and didn't pay much heed to this film.I was taken aback after my friends saw it and told me that its a must watch and then, my family decided to watch this movie on the big screen. I yet was ambivalent whether it would live up to my expectations, after watching preposterously bad films like Drona, Kidnap etc. I myself admit that I am harsh as a critic and most of my reviews, whether Bollywood or Hollywood, are somewhat criticizing the film in some or the other way. I never go with very high expectations just as a 'normal person', without any feelings to review my feelings after watching the movie and after I left the theater, I was happy and that meant, that the movie was good. I am afraid that I might give away some important details of the movie deliberately; therefore, I am not going into the story details. I will first mention the points that I liked in the movie:1) The performances of all the characters were strong. Especially Sharman Joshi,Gul Panag,Sohail Khan and Amrita Arora. Salman Khan played his role very well and looked very handsome.2) The humor was good in this film. Sohail Khan has good comedy timing while Sharmans expressions just makes anyone laugh, especially in the first half. I even liked the character of small Sharman called as Devil... he was really funny and it was humorous to watch him get agitated by you'll know when you watch the movie.3) The first half was really good, witty and humorous as the audience didn't get bored or didn't feel to leave their seats. 4) The songs were a mixture of catchy and melodious. 'Bang Bang Bang' and 'Hello Hello Hello' were really good songs while the others too were decent. 5) The camera effects were amazing and I felt that the editing was good. Now, in one paragraph, I will explain the flaws in this movie. i thought it was little short... Overall, it was a relief to watch this movie as I was relieved from a state of shock after watching the abominable film Drona. But I didn't feel that I could watch it for the second tome immediately after leaving the theater and even after a few days after watching the film.8 out of 10.

Atul Agnihotri has come up with some interesting cinema, certainly defining himself as someone above average. What he achieves in "Hello" is transcend the line between inspiration and a miracle, awakening an emotional connection to the very special element great cinema can deliver. The packages might have changed, and the contents are more controversial and maybe a bit more tied to reality, certainly taking us to an exotic local, teaching us that our world extends beyond our freeway and limited perception of how more than the other half of the world's population has to deal without certainly preaching to us.At first, the story introduces Salman khan who is on a world tour and happens to meet a stranger in airport lounge.. to kill time she offers to tell Salman khan a story provided he makes a film on it...Salman after much hesitation agrees to listen to the story which is about six character in a call centerThere is an element of freshness in the way the story is presented, as we accompany Shyam through his life odyssey is determined to be the team leader in his call center. There are some strong emotions in the film, and Atul's direction keeps the film dynamic and engaging.Prepare yourself to be overtaken by emotions as varied as joy, pity, happiness, anger, revulsion, surprise, and an exhilarating conclusion rarely seen in movies anymore. This film has made me grateful to be alive and that we still have people in cinema like Atul who understands the power and beauty of the medium. He knows that the perfect mix of a great story and the respective imagery can provoke unforgettable memories in its audience.Hello is by genre a comedic drama, but it becomes much more. The film asks questions about fate, righteousness, greed, and even urban sprawl. Above all, however, it is about that phone call from god .... every characters story is a tragic and unfortunate one, but as seen through their eyes, it is still beautiful. It would be nearly impossible for there to be a better picture this year.See this movie it won't disappoint!

Man this Atul Agnihotri could never be a great actor and now he tried directing films, to give competition to Deepak Tijori another same typeIn This film he takes his brother in laws Salman and Sohail Khan with Arbaaz Khan, Amrita Arora too and then he takes the talented Sharman Joshi and Gul PanagMakes a joke of the book by Chetan Bhagat ONE NIGHT AT A CALL CENTREWell what else we expect with such a cast and such a director?The first song and scene involving Salman are enough to give u a headache and the way the call center is shown, it's even worsePerformances are OK Sharman is the only actor who acts well, even if the script is bad Sohail is irritating as ever, god please, he should leave Bollywood Arbaaz too is similar Salman should stop trying to look cool and young, looks like a drunkard Amrita Arora is better, Gul Panag is good while Katrina Kaif continues to act fake

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.
