"Critics are not being able to admit that Hello has had a fantastic opening and is officially a hit." Says Atul Agnihotri, director of Hello.

"Six crore in three days (not counting overseas) is no mean feat and not admitting to it wont make the facts go away."

Adds writer Chetan Bhagat "The trade is sitting and scratching their heads; the reviewers are in the denial stage!"

First 3 days figures from across India show the real picture of success. Its time to sit up and acknowledge that Hello has rung the cash registers - when God himself is in the movie, no self obsessed critic can come between the audience and the film!
