The story unfolds through flashbacks, showcasing their innocent bond as children and the heartbreak of separation. The present-day Srinu, determined to reconnect with Priya, embarks on a thrilling chase after his stolen phone, the only link he has to her.


"Hello" might not break new ground narratively, but it delivers an entertaining package. The childhood romance is sweet, and the action sequences, while perhaps not groundbreaking, are a welcome addition to the genre.
