Hello Darling Review

HELLO DARLING is the story of three beautiful ladies and his lustful boss. The three girls are Mansi (Gul Panag), Candy (Celina Jetly) and Sat (Esha Koppikar).

Their boss is 35 years old person whose name is Hardik (Javed Jaffery). He is the CEO of Arabic Group of Industries. He is very ambitious. He wants to reach at the top at any cost; by hook or by crook; by fair or unfair means. Beautiful and gorgeous girls are his weakness.

In search of job, Sat (Esha Koppikar) reaches Mumbai from Haryana. Circumstances lead her to join a Hardik's company. Very soon she realizes that his boss Hardik Vasu (Javed Jaffery) was a lecherous fellow and he always found chances to harass female employees sexually.

Hardik Vasu is a married man and Purvi (divya dutta) is his wife. His wife is a devoted Indian woman and is ignorant of her husband's misdeeds.

Candy (Celina Jetly) is a beautiful lady and PA of Hardik. People who work in Hardik's office think that there is illegitimate relation between Candy and Hardik but it is not like that. Candy loves Rocky (Chunky Pandey).

Mansi (Gul Panag) is another beautiful lady who works as a senior manager in Hardik's company. She loves her career too much. She is very ambitious and wants to react to a great height in her profession. To achieve her goal she tolerates Hardik's exploitation to some extent.

Satwati (Isha Koppikar), who hails from Hisssar, is a middle class lady. She started her career from Hardik's company and she very soon becomes friend of Mansi and Candy due to their similar nature.

Hardik looks at them with lustful eyes and intentions.

A time comes when the girls are unable to bear his constant passes, exploitation and comments. Thereafter they want to teach him a lesson.

A situation comes when accidentally Mansi pours rat's poison in Hardik's coffee assuming it to be coffee powder. But things take different turn. Hardik doesn't die. But the girls see him falling down which happens due to his falling chair. The three girls assume him dead. This creates chaos. Circumstances lead them to steal a dead body from the hospital assuming the dead body to be Hardik's body. But since Hardik remains alive they carry dead body of someone else. Hardik gets a chance to benefit from this situation. He shoots their video from his mobile video camera.

Hardik gets what he had wanted. When the girls see him alive, they are shocked. They are terrified when Hardik tells them that he had shot their video which proved their crime. They get horrified to know this. Hardik takes advantage of their situation and starts blackmailing them.

He asks them to spend some days with him at some hill station. The girls find themselves trapped in his web and they have no option left then listening to what Hardik wanted. They agree to fulfill his demand but they say that they would spend those days in Mansi's house instead of the place he chose. He agrees.  There they plan to teach him a lesson.

Hardik too knows what the girls' nature. He very soon anticipates what the girls can do against him. So he finds some remedy to save himself from their trap.

The fight between the boss and his employees have been tried to show us in comedy style.

It is true that in most offices, especially in metros, women have to face such problems. Not all, but most bosses keep lustful eyes on their female employees and take chance to make their bed partners. This happens in different kind of offices. But only film industry is blamed for this. Even a teacher tempts his girl student to give her good marks in exchange of sexual favors from her. Many lady nurses and have been exploited by their senior doctors. Thus the theme is good but it has been written in bad style.

There are many double meaning dialogues due to which family should abstain from this film. There are very cheap scenes due to which only a limited number of audience would go to watch the film.

The writers of this film are Pankaj and Sachin who have already written films like APNA SAPNA MONEY MONEY & KYA KOOL HAIN HAM. KYA KOOL HAIN HUM too had many vulgar scenes (double meaning scenes); but some people liked that film so the writers got inspiration to write films like that.

The theme of the film was good and could have been made a better film but it is not like that.  Neither the direction of the film is up to the mark nor the screenplay.

The director has made his actors to over act in this film. Though Javed Jaffery has performed well, he doesn't look lecherous from any point of view and the director should be blamed for it and the make up department. Javed Jaffery is good in comical roles but not in lecherous role.

Esha Koppikar has looked beautiful and done her part very well. Gul Panag is also okay in her looks and acting. Celina is also up to the mark. Due to her age she doesn't look so young yet she has maintained her beauty and acted well. Divya Dutta too is appealing and has justified her part.

Chunky Pandey fits the character of Celina Jetly's unfortunate lover.

The climax of the film is weak.

It seems that makers of this film were confused while the execution of the film. They didn't know what they were making. Though the story begins with the theme but it leaves the main theme and wanders in some other track.

The music of the film is average. Pritam is s good musician and has given hit songs earlier but no one knows what happened to him in this film.

In the climax part Sunny Deol has been introduced as cameo. In this manner Sunny Deol has been wasted. It seems just to distract viewers' mind, Sunny Deol has been introduced.
Hello Darling is a deliberate copy of Hollywood movie Nine to Five which was released in 80s.
The producer of this film is Ashok Ghai and the director is Manoj Tiwari. As mentioned above, the main casts of this film are Javed Jaffery, Esha Kopikar, Celina Jetly, Gul Panag, Divya Dutta, Sunny Deol, Chunky Pandy etc.
It is wastage of time and money watching this film in theater. Wait for its satellite release.
