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!

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 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.

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.

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.
