Director Atul Agnihotri's film Hello has won the race as the surprise package from the lot that released in the last few months. Hello revolves around the lives of call centre employees and stars Salman & Katrina in guest appearances with a cast of Shohail Khan, Sharman Joshi, Amrita Arora, Eesha Koppikar, Gul Panag among others. Hello has achieved what the last few releases of the season could not.

Some of the best known people in the industry vouch for the fact that Hello has opened to full houses, taking Atul Agnihotri to the top bracket in one single day. 

Mr Balkrishna Shroff, one of the most respected names in the industry and Managing Director of Shirngar / Fame cinemas has described Hello as "One of the biggest openings or recent times" . 

Terry Joseph, GM - PVR Theatres provides the advance booking numbers for shows on 10th October that speak for themselves.

Bhoomika Tiwari, Associate VP of Programming - Fun Cinemas describes Hello as having "a very decent opening" and believes that word of mouth will make this an even bigger hit at the box office.

"Hello has had a mind blowing opening – with an average of 95% across multiplexes in India and an 85% average in single screens. After the last couple of months of dry spell in the industry that saw a lot of movies fail at the box office, Hello has been a boon for us all in the industry" says Head of Distribution for Percept Pictures, Mr Ashok Ahuja. -(SAMPURN)
