The movie starts with an irritating song 'bang bang', that introduces shirtless Salman Khan. He coincidently has to wait at the airport restroom where he comes across a beautiful woman (Katrina Kaif) who narrates him a story of six people working in a call center. 'Hello' is a tale within a tale, with Katrina narrating it to Salman, who plays an author, on the condition that he make a movie out of it.

The story, as I mentioned earlier is about six call center employees. Shyam (Sharman Joshi) is the protagonist, whose ex-girlfriend Priyanka (Gul Panag) is marrying a techno freak NRI, settled in Seattle. Isha (Isha koppikar) is an aspiring model, waiting for a break in the fashion industry. Vroom (Sohail Khan) is an enthusiastic guy, a cool biker and a good friend of Shyam. Radhika (Amrita Arora) is a housewife who is troubled by her mother-in-law and is into an extra marital affair.

The situation of the six executives worsen when their employer Bakshi (Dilip Tahil) one day announces the decision of right sizing the call center, one night. And on this night only, they get a very important phone call, a call from none other than 'God' himself. What did God say? What happened to the call center and its executives? Did Shyam manage to win Priyanka back? All these questions will be answered once you watch the film.

Chetan is not so much of a screenplay writer as a novelist that he is. His screenplay fails to keep it together. Also, the first half of the movie has been wasted in characterization. But, the second half is a little better. The promos of the movie make it look like a thriller which is in contrast to the genre of the novel. In short, the film is nether thrilling nor entertaining. The story has worked magic for the novel but its cinematic adaption is a major disappointment.

The direction is lackluster, dialogues are just average and most importantly, the plot line is too thin. It is a serious competition to last week's release Drona by one film old director Goldie Behl. A better presentation would have done wonders to Hello.

On the performance front, Sharman Joshi is convincing in his role and his chemistry with Gul is quite promising. Sohail Khan as a cool guy looks impressive. The three girls, Amrita Arora, Gul Panag and Isha Koppikar are likeable, while Katrina, like always, looks pretty. Salman Khan too is good in his cameo. Talking of its music, it is not worth mentioning. Overall, 'Hello' fails to bring out the feeling from the book, into live drama and action.
