Selfiee

Surprisingly the film meets your expectations. After a long time, we have a good family entertainer teaching us a few life lessons keeping the entertainment quotient intact.

All actors have done a fantastic job as per their given roles. Special mention to Abhimanyu Singh, Meghna Malik and the actor playing the producers' role. Akshay Kumar plays himself as per the requirement and shines brilliantly in the emotional moments as well. Emran Hashmi has given a subtle performance as a father wanting to be a hero in front of his son.

BGM is decent as well as the songs. Direction has been done in a very efficient way. Screenplay keeps you hooked almost throughout the runtime.

Go and enjoy with your family.

Watching Selfiee on Feb 25, I felt similar vibes I did on June 20, 2012, watching the third movie at the theatre on the same day after Emraan Hashmi's Shanghai and Akshay Kumar's Rowdy Rathore.

Like Ferrari ki Sawaari, the footfalls were weak. However, at times it felt I was watching a newer version of Ferrari ki Sawaari.

Honestly, Selfiee has a lot to teach. It doesn't look like a giant story, the script has issues, but makes sure we get entertained frequently and learn something from it. A message, lot bigger than the advertisement of Akshay Kumar about Lal Bahadur Shastri marg.

Eemran Hashmi was okay, no complaints. Akshay could have done better with the aura and charm he has created in the last few decades. As for Akshay, he did pick a wonderful film to, especially, send out a message to the youngsters about driving. How a moment of unawareness can cost lives. Also, We must drive safely.

Watching the movie, I remember the quote : Better be Mr. Late, than Late Mr...

If you're late, you're already late. Saving 2 to 4 minutes of your time to arrive at a location even though you're already late won't make any difference, however, it might, in case, for someone else.

For movie name ,better Driving license to Selfiee. I would like share a comment.. It was good scene during public protest and akshay came for help as humanity. But in this scene taught ( Years will change but Human will never change by their warm need a just a shot of pic/ Video). They will do as per day to day, week to week and year to year. That's why it's a kalyug ....I hope the public will realized as a social animal. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." - Mahatma Gandhi before blaming, to know the matter first then you take a decision.

Selfiee is just another mediocre remake of a good South Indian film. The screenplay is engaging in bits & pieces and it has a few dull moments too. Director Raj Mehta reunites with Akshay Kumar after Good Newwz (2019), he handled the humour and drama of the film skillfully.

Akshay Kumar effortlessly played his part as Superstar Vijay Kumar. It was great to watch Emraan Hashmi on the big screen again, last we saw him in Mumbai Saga and Chehre in 2021. He has delivered an impressive performance. Meghna Malik's comic timing is spot on and she got some funny dialogues in the film. Abhimanyu Singh never disappoints and he too was a comic relief and got some hilarious one-liners. The leading ladies Diana Penty and Nushrratt Bharuccha were once again neglected by the writers due to which they underplayed their part. Other supporting actors were just fine in their roles.

Some scenes were written well in the second half which makes it more arresting, the chaos at the RTO office, the face-off between two leading actors, and the license test. There was no song in the movie that can be a chartbuster. The crisp editing and some more gripping scenes could have made the film more impactful. The fate of the film will depend only on word of mouth.

Second movie by far after Shezada, appearing as remake of the original Driving Licence by Prithviraj Sukumaran who happens to be one of the producers of the remake Selfiee. Bollywood needs to restructure themselves instead of having remakes and playing it safe. One who has tried to impress in the movie is none other than Emraan Hashami, talented and poised actor who has immense capabilities if given more offers. Casting is fabulous. The only problem in the entire movie is that it's a remake. Why watch Selfiee, watch it for Emraan otherwise just a remake in the season of remakes. Original always the best any given day.
