Hello - the Movie

'Hello', the new movie is based on Chetan Bhagat's One night at the call center. While the book was quite entertaining.... until the actual story, the phone call from God (now what was that!) arrives.

Just saw the full-page ad in Mid-day today and was surprised to see only five characters (the book has six.) I remembered the elderly gentleman in the book (who has issues with his son and his family) and yes, he was missing in the promotional photograph. Ouch, did they drop him out?

Then I saw a tiny advertisement and yes, it did have photographs of 'six' characters.

If you are a senior actor, unless you are Amitabh Bachhan or the likes, you don't feature in a full-page ad. Irrespective of how significant your character is.

P. S. : Ditto for Kabhi Alvida Na kehna advertisements that had Amitabh Bachhan but no Kiron Kher. Both of them had an equally significant role in the film.

10 ka dum.. what?!

Salman Khan's new show is such a such a letdown... Cheap jokes!! Cheap Questions!!

'Parental advisory' will now be replaced by 'We advise children to keep a watch on their parents!".. It's that cheap!!

How can one expect questions like "How many men sleep on their wedding night?" And the lady replying in the affirmative for the question, "Did your husband too?"

Outright embarassing to watch with one's family. And the format is so unintelligent and so gamble-like. It's almost like a sattaa baazaar with glam n glitz and this one person called Salman Khan who says "dus hazaar rupon ke liye" for "rupayon" and makes the faces of a constipated pregnant lady.

10 ka dum has no dum. And I won't be surprised if Salman Khan cracks a joke as cheap n cheesy as 'Dum.... Kon dum?"
