‘Hello’ is another unconventional film based on the call center backdrop.  In important cast are Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in special appearance, Sohail Khan, Sharman Joshi, Isha Koppikar, Gul Panag, Amrita Arora, Arbaaz Khan and others. The film is produced and directed by Atul Agnihotri. Doing the music is Sajid-Wajid along with lyricist Jalees Sherwani.

The title track 'Hello' begins in the voice of Suzy Q with music coming from Sajid-Wajid, Ishq Bector, Herchelle, Merlin and Tim. This groovy number will soon turn to be a must have for the lounge crowd. There is a 'Party Mix' that elevated the effect of the track further.

Next to follow is ‘Rab Ka Banda' rendered by Sonu Nigam, Zubin and Sunidhi Chauhan. This situational track is a mix of Sufi and Western sound. This philosophical theme based song fails to impress.

Follows the quintessential bhangra number 'Karle Baby Dance Wance'. This is a passable number with nothing novel to offer.  Daler Mehendi stays rooted to his routinous style with Sunidhi Chauhan ably supporting him.

Wajid comes to face the mike with 'Bang Bang Bang'. The track carried a concert feel but it cannot rise being average. Though the song is on air with Salman Khan in highlight, it doesn’t look to be his next probable hit. 

'Mitwa Re' has a romantic feel and is rendered in the voice of Shaan and Sadhana Sargam. Another formulaic track that sticks to its basic without trying to offer anything new. But this romantic melody is likeable.

'Caravan' is the last track of the album. Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan delivers this track of 6 minutes. But that doesn’t make it a hummable track. It is an old fashioned song also lapped with sad feel. It isn’t the kind of song that would make one look forward to it.

Though the film treads an unconventional route the same cannot be said about its music. This Sajid-Wajid soundtrack fails to make itself among the hits. There are a few songs that make for a good hearing however they are not must-hear.
