| Baradwaj Rangan, Blogical Conclusion, The New Sunday Express …It?s drama served up ultra-lite ? with zero-percent depth or dimension…. See full review |
Daliya Daspurkayastha, Bollywood Mantra …On the whole, Hello is a very very poor show. Undoubtedly, box-office collection will also be very poor. Not much crowd will be seen at the ticket counter…. See full review |
| Sanjay Ram, Business of Cinema …Now, while the book makes for a light read, the film is far from being a pleasant watch. The written word takes the form of a futile film…. See full review |

| Sonia Chopra, Sify Movies …But pleasantly, Hello based on Bhagat?s One Night at the Call Center is energetic, absorbing, entertaining; most of the time…. See full review |

| Nikhat Kazmi, Times of India …One Night at a Call Centre too has the mandatory ingredients, including a brush with divinity. And the devil too! Not forgetting the break-ups, link-ups and patriotic pulp that generally assures foolproof drama…. See full review |
