One Night @ The Call Center (film Tie-in Edition)
In winter 2004, a writer met a young girl on an overnight train journey. To pass the time, she offered to tell a story. However, she had a condition: that he make it into his second book. He hesitated, but asked what the story was about.

The girl said the story was about six people working in a call center, set in one night.

She said it was the night they got a phone call.

That phone call was from God.

Welcome to One Night@ the Call Center is another witty dark novel from the award winning author of the national bestseller Five Point Someone.

Are you ready to take the call?

"...The biggest selling Indian novelist writing in English."

- India Today



Chetan Bhagat is the author of two blockbuster novels- Five Point Someone (2004) and one night @call center (2005)-which continue to top bestseller lists. In March 2008, the New York Times called him the ‘biggest-selling English-language novelist in India’s history’. Both his books have inspired major Bollywood films. One night @ the call center is an international success having been published in the UK, US, and translated into French, Italian, Dutch and Russian.

Review by S D
Press 1 for technical support.
Press 2 for broken hearts.
Press 3 if your life has totally crashed. . . .

Six friends work nights at a call center in India, providing technical support for a major U.S. appliance corporation. Skilled in patience-and accent management-they help American consumers keep their lives running. Yet behind the headsets, everybody's heart is on the line.

Shyam (Sam to his callers) has lost his self-confidence after being dumped by the girl who just so happens to be sitting next to him. Priyanka's domineering mother has arranged for her daughter's upscale marriage to an Indian man in Seattle. Esha longs to be a model but discovers it's a horizontal romp to the runway. Lost, dissatisfied Vroom has high ideals, but compromises them by talking on the phone to idiots each night. Traditional Radhika has just found out that her husband is sleeping with his secretary. And Military Uncle (nobody knows his real name) sits alone working the online chat.

They all try to make it through their shifts-and maintain their sanity-under the eagle eye of a boss whose ego rivals his incompetence. But tonight is no ordinary night. Tonight is Thanksgiving in America: Appliances are going haywire, and the phones are ringing off their hooks. Then one call, from one very special caller, changes everything.

Chetan Bhagat's delicious romantic comedy takes us inside the world of the international call center, where cultural cross-wires come together with perfect pathos, hilarity, and spice.
