Selfiee

Average light hearted movie, unique storyline but direction doesn't hold that intensity. A cat n mouse fight between a celebrity n his fan. Bored of seeing Akshay Kumar in a new movie every 3rd month. Emran Hashmi emotes good expressions.

My ratings 6/10!

Selfiee is an action comedy drama thriller directed by raj mehta. It is adapted from the malayalam film 'driving licence.' Emraan hashmi and akshay kumar make up for an interesting tussle. Both capable actors, fight for their ego and in the way give some hearttouching and good moments. Naturally, the pitch of the film is commercial, so they amp up their performances to a watchable limit, which is not a criticism obviously. Nushrratt bharuccha clearly is an overperformer. One can argue that she had a nothing role but atleast you can help with your dialogue delivery. Diana penty clearly lacks acting practice. She is not the same cheerful girl from 'cocktail.' Abhimanyu singh, unsurprisingly brings a much needed laughter into the narrative.

The writing has evident flaws. The first half was going well and good. But the writers felt the need to paint the characters as black and white and not treat them as grey. Firstly, vijay kumar is made a villain and them om prakash agarwal. The emotional moments are heartfelt, but the characters of om's son gappu, his wife are made to look so cheesy and oppurtunistic in the process.

The songs apart from the evergreen 'main khiladi tu anari' and 'kudiye ni teri vibe' don't pack a punch. The background score is good.

The climax for me is underwhelming. Everyone including the corny minister and suraj get away with what they have done and nobody penalizes them. Is this a sooraj barjatya film or what??

The film brings in some worthy humour and meta references. An actress while shooting, farts which makes up for a hilarious sequence. Meghna malik in a scene does a wonderful job. Akshay kumar, being a producer's actor is reminded throughout the film and the amount of work that he chooses to do is also made a meta joke.

Not a perfect film by any means, but definitely good and worthy of a watch. I rate it 7.5 out of 10.

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.
