Wonder what went wrong? For, boy wonder, Chetan Bhagat's pulp fiction page- turners literally read like a Bollywood masala flick. Reading his recent Three Mistakes … was almost like watching a Hindi film, complete with a fire and brimstone climax that belted out all the right messages about bhaichara (fraternity), ekta (unity), dosti (friendship) and humanism.

A disclaimer first. This reviewer has not read Chetan Bhagat's 'One Night @ the Call Centre', and after watching Atul Agnihotri's celluloid adaptation of the bestseller novel, he is all the more happy to have not read the book. Naresh K. D. | apunkachoice.com | |
Nothing much to vouch for or criticise in their performances. The filmmaker's attempt to strive incessantly to revive the culture of our country to the commercial entity, ie, America, and promoting the feeling of India being the best will surely be appreciated by the audiences.

First up, I haven't read Chetan Bhagat's "One Night @ the Call Center". So rest assured, there's no "book better than movie" verdict in this review. Before going in for this Bollywood disaster, I read that director Atul Agnihotri stated he'd stop making films if "Hello" didn't perform well – or something like that. My opinion, he should seriously stop, regardless of the strange ways of the Indian box office. Vinita Bharadwaj | masala.com | |
And now coming to the acting, Sohail Khan and Sharman Joshi were the only two actors who made this movie a little interesting or atleast for me to give the movie one star. Everyone else were wasted. On the whole, Hello is the cheapest way to reach hell and come back. Beware of this movie and don't say I didn't warn you. Author at Gyanguru | gyanguru.org | |
I always wondered when audiences complained how cinematic adaptations of international bestsellers never reached up to the preconceived expectations of the literary work. Back in India we never encountered a similar scenario since filmmakers barely attempted adapting contemporary literature. But with Hello director Atul Agnihotri reinstated the theory of prose over picture. Gaurav Malani, | Indiatimes Movies |
