To me, this movie is perfection.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This was one movie that I was waiting for very eagerly! Carry a pack of pop corn and cans of cold drink and enjoy this film with friends ,it has everything , starting from bang bang song( super six pack Salman dance number) , humor , sympathy , thrill , romance , revenge and what not and not to mention director Atul Agnihotri was the captain of all these departments . Out of so many positive things the most important thing is the story line, which is very gripping and entertaining....Salman's hard work on his body paid off , he really danced well on the song bang bang which has good production values....The Picturisation and the music was excellent...Their something happening in every scene of the movie and you don't get bored or look at your watch, script is strong. Performances are strong too....Though the film was based on the novel one night @ the call center and people knew about the plot still it was enjoyableIn a nutshell its a books idea; Bollywood Masala filmI am giving Hello 9/10

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!

Based on a bestseller "One Night at a Call Center" by Chetan Bhagat, the movie is a good example which teaches that we need to do a lot of changes and additions on the scripting stage if we want to make a movie on a novel. In "Hello", the director has made some additions, but the add on's are there only to sell the movie and grab attention of the audiences. By only taking Salman Khan for few scenes and shooting a catchy number with shirtless Salman, does not mean that you can ignore the other important aspects of movie making. Sadly "Hello" becomes the culprit of the same thought.Last week, I noticed and mention it for "Kidnap" and this week we have the same drastic mistake repeated in "Hello". I cannot simply understand that "How can a movie start straight away with a four-five minute song?" As the viewer excitedly sits to watch the movie, he is simply served a song at the start. This is a definite indication that you are going to watch a mediocre product. And as the time passes, you know that the outcome is not what you were expecting.An interesting and novel idea gets spoiled with a very poor script and execution. It was hugely promoted as a movie in which a phone call is made by "The God" himself to some call center employees. And the greatest flaw of the movie is that the phone call comes after almost half the movie is over. You keep on waiting for that but the director, Atul Agnihotri is more engrossed in giving scenes to all his characters and in describing the tragedies they are facing. Suddenly the phone call sequence comes and also finishes off in minutes. You don't feel excited while the call is being attended by the characters on the screen. The scene is not capable of generating any extraordinary thrill in the viewer. And as the "Call from the God" sequence ends, you also end having any interest in the movie. Morevoer, you also don't find any great results in the movie, even after the God has called.Performance by the entire cast is simply professional like they are just doing another film. So nothing special is there to write about any specific actor. Only Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif seem to be more interested in contributing to the movie than all others. They both are there enacting "a special appearance" in order to provide a star element to the movie. A catchy title song with Salman, is good to watch, but it should have been there in the end titles instead. The special and heartily efforts of Salman & Katrina are not able to save the movie which is unexpectedly a poor product based on a best-selling novel.It's nice to see that we are again picking up good books and novels for the stories in our movies. This practice was done way back in the Black and White era and in later years too by some great film-makers India has seen. But in the current and fast changing times a lot has to be re-shaped and re-written to transform a successful book into a Hit movie. Unfortunately, "Hello", fails in doing that.

I don't know from where director took this story. There is noting in the movie except the message which the actors get from the god. I guess the director can make the movie more better and can add the message in it.The thing which I don't like about the movie is degrading Americans and telling that they are dumb... I think the director forget the fact that Computers are designed and developed by Americans and there are many genius people in America as well as in India..Many times while watching the movie I felt that there are many scenes which are unnecessary in the movie..And overall this movie is Awful!!!
