Description

Chetan Bhagat’s second novel, One Night @ the Call Center, follows a group of people working at a call center who have a chance encounter with God.

Shyam, Priyanka, Vroom, Esha, Radhika and Military Uncle are colleagues in a call center. An unfaithful husband, a scheming boss, apathetic grandchildren and a forced engagement are just some of their collective problems. When the gang decides to take some time off work, a freak accident leads to a precarious, life-altering situation.

In his trademark style, Bhagat explores themes such as battered ambitions and the poignant aspect of love. The book was adapted into a movie by Atul Agnihotri, re-titled Hello; it was released in October 2008 and starred Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Gul Panag and Sharman Joshi.
