Selfiee

I have not watched the original first of all.

But treating it as a fresh movie, it delivers quite well. Story, screenplay is good with nice pace of movie.

Akhsay and Emran both are impressive in their roles. Role of Emran was more expressive kind of and role Akshay Sir was not that much expressive and he is doing so well since ages. His walk, eyes, body language says all about what he is feeling like in the scene Background is also fine. Abhimanyu Singh was a surprise, I was not aware that he is also there. That too in a comic role. But I like his expression and comic timing. Vimla tiwari played by Meghana Malik is also brings smile when comes.

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.

First half of Selfiee was absolutely fantastic!!! That scene with Akshay comes into the RTO office and gets angry at Emraan and he just stands there with tears in his eyes without saying a single word, that scene was just amazing!!!!

Second half of Selfiee was decent but could have been way better, the screenplay and direction messed it up totally!! But it's Emraan Hashmi that takes the second half on his shoulders, Akshay did well in the first half while in the second half he was just about fine.

Mrunal Thakur in the song Kudiye Ni Teri, ahhhh she looked so sexy, hot and sensuously seductive!!! She should have been the female lead for Akshay instead of Diana Penty!

Nushrratt as the wife of Emraan was decent. She could have had more scenes but she did her best!

Only two songs from the movie are good! The rest are just a part of the film in background.

I think it's high time for Akshay to stop doing remakes and stop doing so many films in a single year! It's just too much.

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!

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.
