Rafi and Mecartin, the director duo who created history with super hits like Punjabi House and Tenkasi Pattanam are coming together for the first time with the maestro of comedy and natural acting, Mohanlal in Hello.

In the film Mohanlal is a lazy advocate, Shivaraman, popularly called as Shiva. Even though an advocate by profession, he spends more time to booze than to be in court. And at those times, he is a known troublemaker of the city.

One of the best friends of Shivaraman is Chandy Kunju, Sivaraman's benefactor. He is a little handicapped but he is more a law breaker and a regular client of Sivaraaman. His act of escaping with ease whenever police is behind him is a surprise everyone. He moves around in a Motor bike with a side car that comes handy to transport Sivaraman, when he gets drunk and out of control.

Parvathy is the daughter of a private moneylender, who develops an interest in the troublesome ways of the advocate. Sivaraman had taken to drinking because of a great tragedy in his life, after which he presumes that it is better to be a drunk than be normal. On a sunny day, he receives a phone call, which is all set to change his life once again. The film has a big cast including Madhu, Siddique, Jagadhish, Madhu Warrior, Keerikkadan Jose, Spadikam George, Salim Kumar, Beeman Reghu, Rizabava, Ganesh Kumar and Suraj Venjaramoodu.

The film is told in the usual format of Rafi -Mecarttin with plenty of humor, twists, songs and a sentimental touch. The music section is handled by Vayalar Sharath and Alex Paul.
