Selfiee

Indian actors Emraan Hashmi and Akshay Kumar attend a promotional event for their film 'Selfiee'. Getty Images Akshay Kumar’s latest outing, Selfiee, has proved to be one of his most unsuccessful films in the recent past - the collections for the Hindi movie barely touched $1 million in three days at the ticket windows in India. Directed by Raj Mehta, Selfiee is a remake of the 2019 Malayalam film Driving Licence and earned roughly $1.2 million over the first three days of the release. Kumar’s new film has emerged as a disappointment to trade experts - most of them had predicted $0.5 million to $1 million opening day collection and nearly $2-2.5 million for the weekend. Selfiee failed to even touch the lower level of the expected range. It made an opening day collection of $0.307 million in India. Prithviraj Sukumaran essayed the role of a movie star in the original movie and Kumar plays the star in the Hindi version. In the original film, Suraj Venjaramoodu played the role that Emraan Hashmi has been roped in for the Hindi one - an ardent fan of the movie star and an officer who supervises the making of driver’s license in the city. Nushratt Bharuccha plays Hashmi’s wife while Diana Penty is Kumar’s wife in Selfiee. Critics and audiences have had a dull response to Selfiee because of a failed attempt to remake a film ( Driving License) that had little critical value itself and the lead character’s lack of an engrossing arc. The characters and personalities of the star as ...

Script isn't King in Selfiee. It is an unabashed Akshay Kumar show. The star leaves absolutely nothing to chance. He stamps himself on everything that the vapid film has on offer. The narrative (derived from the late Sachy's screenplay) is tweaked and stretched to make space for an actor in search of a hit. But nothing clicks. Selfiee is the Hindi remake of the 2019 Malayalam film Driving Licence. The vehicle never fully revs up because the star, to the detriment of the movie, concedes no ground at all to things that might have mattered. The chintzy concoction runs into an obstacle course and finds a way out of it. A movie megastar desperately seeking a driving licence runs afoul of an inveterate fan, a Regional Transport Office (RTO) inspector in Bhopal. As the fan-turned-foe queers the pitch, the celebrity's grand plans, both personal and professional, are in danger of going into a tailspin. But can the power of a common man be a match for the clout of a movie star? There is much in Selfiee that goes awry because large swathes of the film are painfully pointless. If the film is meant to be an exploration of fame and adulation and their manifestations or an examination of what happens when a slighted movie fan decides to strike back, it only manages to deliver a blurred picture. As shallow as it is silly, Selfiee does not get its focus right. Akshay Kumar's home banner, Cape of Good Films, is one of the producers of the film along with Dharma Productions, Prithviraj Produ...
