Hello (2008)
WOW is right word for hello
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 center
There 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!
