Hello... 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 canter who is about to be snatched by an NRI techno geek.
There is also the aspiring model, Esha, who is hopping
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.
It is a night when dreams will finally crumble. Or will it? For there is that call
from God. Narrated as a tale within a tale as a beautiful woman meets the auteur
narrator and promises him a story on the condition that he has to narrate it further.The
movie "Hello" is based on Chetan Bhaqat's one night @ the call Center, is the one
remarkable story from Tales from a Thousand and One globalizing, urban, Indian Nights.
