STORY:
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

a
beautiful
woman

the
auteur
