== Plot ==
The story starts with two young RJs (Radio Jockey), Madhav ([Vinay Forrt](/source/Vinay_Forrt)) and Jerry ([Sanju Sivram](/source/Sanju_Sivram)). They both work as hosts for a radio show called Hello Namasthe. Jerry was invited to his ex-girlfriend Anna's ([Miya](/source/Miya_(actress))) wedding. She was going to wed a man named Pappu Joseph Thadikkaran ([Aju Varghese](/source/Aju_Varghese)). Jerry went with Madhav and Abu ([Soubin Shahir](/source/Soubin_Shahir)). After they see her groom, Jerry, Madhav and Abu don't like Pappu, and they persuade Jerry to ask Anna to go with them and Anna agrees. They drop Abu in his house and Madhav, Jerry, and Anna go to Madhav's house. There they meet Madhav's wife, Priya (Bhavana), who is obsessed with cleanliness (a kind of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). Jerry and Anna decide to get married. After that, they all move to a colony of villas. In the colony, a Jackfruit tree between their houses creates a fight between them. How they try to defeat each other forms the rest of the story.

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
Paresh C Palicha of ''[Rediff.com](/source/Rediff.com)'' gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and said, "the premise of the film may be very old, but the sincere effort of the entire cast makes it watchable."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-hello-namaste-is-average/20160222.htm|title=Review: Hello Namaste is average|author=Paresh C Palicha|accessdate=11 August 2025|publisher=[Rediff.com](/source/Rediff.com)}}</ref> Deepa Soman of ''[The Times of India](/source/The_Times_of_India)'' gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and wrote "''Hello Namasthe'' attempts to present a two-hour film out of this naive, puerile situation, by placing some good actors to deal with the emerging staid settings and silly conversations. ... The plot is hardly convincing and is the sorest chord in the whole film. Yes, a [jackfruit](/source/jackfruit) tree as the central character is something novel, but translating that thought into an entertaining film calls for some brilliant, non-clichéd packaging, characterisations and a sensibly engaging screenplay, all of which are absent in ''Hello Namasthe''. The end of the passable drama is also boringly predictable."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Soman |first=Deepa |date=30 April 2016 |title=Hello Namasthe Movie Review {2.5/5}: Critic Review of Hello Namasthe by Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/hello-namasthe/movie-review/51078362.cms |website=[The Times of India](/source/The_Times_of_India) |language=en}}</ref>
