Selfiee may prove to be one of the lowest openers for Akshay Kumar in a long time. Trade experts believe the film may collect ₹4-5 crore on the first day.

It is also really important for the lead actors that the film works.” It is not the kind that is expected to open with ballistic collections, it will hopefully grow with the word-of-mouth and reviews.” Meanwhile, film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi predicted Selfiee may get a ₹6-7 crore opening on the first day. Also, Shehzada and [Antman and the Wasp Quantumania](https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/hollywood/antman-and-the-wasp-quantumania-box-office-film-beats-out-shehzada-with-18-cr-101676801146164.html) have had mixed reactions, so it is pretty much open for Selfiee right now.

He added that if the movie fails to get decent reviews and word-of-mouth, it may even end up below ₹15 crore for a weekend collection.

While the pre-bookings are low, the late opening of advance bookings is something that can prove to be instrumental with time as it certainly helps reduce the negative coverage of a film with low advance bookings, significantly. It was a conscious decision by the makers of the film to open the advance bookings late so that the film can get a better momentum than what it would, had the advance bookings opened probably a week in prior. The next major film that comes after Selfiee will be All certainly is not well for team Selfiee at the moment, but it is hoped that the on-the-day movement will be better, to give the film a chance to survive. The only silver lining for the film is that it won't have a release competing next week, resulting in a long open run. This number is not just lower than every other Akshay Kumar film that released in theatres last year, but is also lower than last week's release Shehzada, that sold around 30,000 tickets.

He reaches out to a tarot card reader (Kusha Kapila) in the hope of bringing Vijay “down to my level”. Akshay even does a piece-to-camera at the start as himself, dedicating the film to the “fans”. The bad thing about it is that it is not even trying.

Selfiee is Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi's first film in 2023, and it is an official remake of the Malayalam hit Driving License.

The advance booking was open a day before the release. As per the report of Sacnilk, the film has collected barely Rs 73.76 lakhs from the first day of advance booking. Amid dull advance bookings, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted about Selfiee box office collections and stated that the opening day collections and the fate of the film will depend on spot bookings and word-of-mouth. Emraan shared the photo and even asked co-star Diana Penty about her absence.

Selfiee review: Does a small-town traffic cop, Om Prakash Agarwal (Emraan Hashmi), taking on a megastar, Vijay Kumar (Akshay Kumar), over a driver's licence ...

Overall, Selfiee is an easy-breezy watch, with some good performances and several laugh-out-loud moments. Nushratt Bharuccha, who is familiar with the comedy genre, manages to pull off the act of a young Bhopali woman and Om Prakash’s better half, Minty, well. Diana Penty as Vijay’s , Naina, doesn't have much of a role to play here but whatever capacity she can plays the classy and supportive wife does well. A nod to Akshay's stardom, with a movie called Don’t Angry Me, references to the scores of projects he does each year, being called a producer’s actor, and even his ‘jabde wali smile’ are delightful to watch. He has a tight grip on his role, as he firmly maintains the middle-class and humble man act even when doing heroic things. It's watchable, nevertheless, even if the parts that revolve around the licence test are a bit stretched. Abhimanyu is hilarious as Vijay’s erstwhile roomie and someone now stuck spewing cringe-worthy lines for shady films and ads. While the main leads shine, Abhimanyu Singh as a fading superstar Suraj and Meghna Malik as the starstruck corporator, Kamla Tiwari, are more than impressive. The outing also takes a dig at the trial by media phenomenon and the #BoycottBollywood movement. But the punchlines and performances in the remake of 2019 Malayalam film, Driving Licence, may make you overlook the feeble premise. Selfiee story: While filming a movie in Bhopal, a hotshot star, Vijay Kumar, urgently requires a driver’s licence to complete his shoot on time. However, a misunderstanding with the motor vehicle inspector, Om Prakash, leads to a feud of sorts between the two.

Selfiee review: If you are fine with Akshay Kumar continuing to do Hindi remakes of films from the South, you would definitely enjoy Selfiee. | Bollywood.

So, if you are fine with Akshay Kumar continuing to do Hindi remakes of films from the South, you would definitely enjoy Selfiee, even if you have seen the original Malayalam film. Abhimanyu Singh as Vijay's contemporary is comic relief and hilarious in scenes, but for someone with his acting calibre, he is completely wasted in the script. The story follows superstar Vijay Kumar (Akshay) who wants a driving licence urgently to be able to finish the climax of his film and save the producer from incurring losses. An official remake of Malayalam film Driving Licence, this Akshay-starrer dramedy is not a frame by frame copy of the original (I've seen the Malayalam one in bit and parts) and has many lighter moments. It was after over a year that we saw Emraan Hashmi back on the big screen, and he has a pleasant screen presence though at places, he seemed a bit loud and over-the-top. With Selfiee, things look more real and relatable because of the story and narrative which is not too far-fetched and is pretty convincing. Cut to [Akshay Kumar](https://www.hindustantimes.com/topic/akshay-kumar)'s latest theatrical release Selfiee, where the actor plays a superstar and ends up in a murky mess of sorts with his biggest fan. Among the supporting cast, Mahesh Thakur as Vijay's manager delivers an earnest performance, Meghna Malik as politico Vimla Tiwari is on-point with her comic timing and is given some funny lines. Bearing a charming persona and swag, he shows signs of gratitude for his fans despite being a self-made star. And this is seemingly becoming a tried and tested formula for filmmakers. His diehard fan, RTO officer Om Prakash Aggarwal (Emraan Hashmi) is given the task to help the actor, and he agrees to fulfil it without following the usual tedious process and asks for a selfie as a gesture in return.

It’s a pity the rest of the film struggles to supply – and smile at – the symbolism of its title. Which is to say that the title of the movie is perhaps its most interesting aspect. It doesn’t help that the women are footnotes, and the supporting cast is cursed with corny sound cues. There’s merit to the idea of locating a public feud in the most mundane setting possible. Yet, director Raj Mehta – whose narrative perception came to the fore in Consequently, the irony of a driving exam propelling the film’s drama is lost in a sea of self-serious staging. The good news is that Selfiee is the best Akshay Kumar movie in years. As a result, the Akshay Kumar we get isn’t the cheeky cameo specialist.

Most of the time, due to the film’s self-deprecatory humour, it almost looks like Akshay is breaking the fourth wall to talk to the viewers. Why this can’t be a story of a story who somehow forgets to renew his passport & fails with extreme difficulty in renewing it owing to his dual citizenship (India & Canada, maybe?)? When you can talk about his ‘masoode’ ruining his smile, joke about his commitment to do millions of projects every year, and make a doctor criticize his ‘massy’ script sense, then why did you restrict the story only to the source material available beforehand? Before the movie started, we all saw Akshay Kumar’s recorded message about how this is dedicated to his fans and how he’s nothing without them, but then he goes on to do films like these to disappoint not all but a considerable chunk of them. Who has done what and why forms the major crux of the film which revolves around a cat-and-mouse game being played by the ‘Khiladi’ & ‘Anari’.

Selfiee Review: An Unabashed Akshay Kumar Show (NDTV)

With none of the characters allowed to evolve, Emraan Hashmi is compelled to struggle to create his space in the film.

With none of the characters allowed to evolve, Emraan Hashmi is compelled to struggle to create his space in the film. Vijay Kumar (Akshay Kumar), reigning Bollywood superstar who has a passion for fast cars, lands in Bhopal for the shoot of a film. They religiously watch every film of his and dance noisily to his songs much to the chagrin of the inspector's wife (Nushrratt Bharuccha), who adores Vijay Kumar's rival Suraj Diwan (Abhimanyu Singh). Angered and humiliated, the obdurate policeman decides to settle scores by giving the actor a tough time. Akshay Kumar's home banner, Cape of Good Films, is one of the producers of the film along with Dharma Productions, Prithviraj Productions (the original lead actor's outfit) and Magic Frames (a key backer of the Malayalam film). The latter is worse - a pathetic buffoon whose only job in the film is to make the protagonist look much better than he actually is. But matters go horribly wrong and the star gives the unsuspecting inspector a mouthful. 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. In Selfiee, the former is at best a frisky hanger-on. 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. The narrative (derived from the late Sachy's screenplay) is tweaked and stretched to make space for an actor in search of a hit. The chintzy concoction runs into an obstacle course and finds a way out of it.

Selfiee Review: License To Drive Crazy (Rediffmail)

Malayalam cinema isn't the same as Telugu or Tamil, but Bollywood's blanket approach fails to see the distinction in Selfiee, observes Sukanya Verma.

Ditto for the bumbling local politician (Meghna Malik) trying to gain mileage out of Vijay Kumar's star presence in her jurisdiction. Both Om and his school-going son are Vijay's biggest admirers and grab the first opportunity to meet their favourite and expedite his paperwork. In the original, Prithviraj's irritation stems from his personal problems and frustration of not being able to accompany his wife abroad for medical treatment. Here, he gets a moment or two of herogiri in Emraan HashmI's smart aleck skin. In the remake, the hero is far less rankled, his wife fit as a fiddle.

'Selfiee' movie review: A captivating script drives this thrilling Akshay ... (The Hindu)

Akshay Kumar channels the swag of the superstar and imbues it with his inherent simplicity to make his character, Vijay Kumar, absolutely relatable.

Also, Akshay’s short address before the opening credits on the importance of fans is uncalled for and fills us with a sense that the star is either pleading for a hit or undermining the intellect of his followers. The film addresses the dangers of following a Pied Piper as well as shows the Piper the fleetingness of fame in times of provocative hashtags. Nushratt Bharuccha displays the excitement of a middle-class wife in the right measure. The internal politics of Bollywood and the dangers of unchecked hero worship also flow into the well-oiled screenplay that doesn’t take a breath to preach or ponder. Director Raj Mehta and writer Rishabh Sharma ensure that the essence of the story is not lost in translation while localising the drama and humour. Om Prakash Agrawal (Emraan Hashmi), the motor vehicle inspector in charge of his application, is his fan but a misunderstanding caused by a couple of self-seeking characters leads to a public showdown between them.

'Selfiee' Review: The Star and the Fan and a Film That Works ... (The Wire)

The movie isn't completely impressive, and yet it's Akshay Kumar's best in a long time. Maybe because Bollywood movies – and Kumar in particular – have ...

Its central conflict – centred on a star and a cop fighting over a driver’s license – may not have the same energy and tension as most mainstream films, but Mehta makes it worse by making Selfiee what it’s not. Unlike Fan, it’s not milking and massaging a star’s ego – it’s the audience’s self-respect that matters more. His Vijay looks like a typical Bollywood star – he isn’t a character as much as an idea. Om makes a simple request: Vijay, the cop, and his son take a selfie. So he fights for his dignity, showing his son that love is a two-way street. It’s peeling off from the edge; Om looks at it again and sticks it back: quarrel is temporary; love is eternal. Another forced subplot, pivoted on Vijay and his wife (Diana Penty) about to become parents through a surrogate pregnancy in New York, unfolds like the equivalent of a screaming Chekhovian gun. First to shoot a film and then to get his driver’s license made before flying to New York. But as Selfiee finds its rhythm, a different story starts to take shape – one cognizant of the power imbalance between a star and his fan. It opens to a monologue by Kumar (more needy than sincere) dedicating this movie to his fans around the world. But that won’t be the whole story as a 2019 Malayalam release, Driving License, completes the puzzle, as Selfiee is its remake. The actor known for making the public dance to his tunes is dancing on the whims of his favourite devotee.

Such numbers are not at all expected with Akshay Kumar being in a lead and a production house like Both Akshay and Emraan have been religiously promoting their film and aren’t leaving any stones unturned for it. Despite the trailer and songs making noise, the film has underperformed a big time.

Selfiee Review: Akshay Kumar, Emraan Hashmi as Star and Fan ... (Film Companion)

Directed by Raj Mehta, the film is about star-fan relationship that goes from sweet to sour.

The tension of the last hour of the film involves a flight that needs to be caught, and yet, there seems to be no change in the light as we rev to that moment, as though Bhopal’s daylight is stuck in stasis. Yet where to find this in a film that wilfully looks at a text and junks its meaning? She uses the phrase “pel diya” and its embedded humour is such an unexpected and sharp contrast to the seriousness of the situation, I burst out laughing in the theatre. [Sairat ](https://www.filmcompanion.in/features/nagraj-manjule-sairat-marathi-movie-director-things-you-should-know)(2016) clean of any reference to caste and made [Dhadak ](https://filmcompanion.in/tag/dhadak)(2018) — adapting a story that is pivoted upon the viciousness of caste. There is no joy in this Bhopal — the food, the clothing, the theatres, the way houses are built and decked. A film like Selfiee needs to be a tender dance of humour and heavyweight feelings. His coolness is derived from his edge and his edge keeps nudging the story forward, provoking the fan. This is something Mehta has a strong, admirable grasp over. In this lazy rewriting, Emraan Hashmi is given the role of the antagonist, the RTO sub-inspector Om Prakash Agarwal. The dullness of this setting is surprising because Selfiee is shot by Rajeev Ravi, who gave us No Smoking (2007), Like Malayalam films which have a certain casual joy in setting their films in a local, broken-in world, Selfiee’s Bhopal is an aesthetic reprieve at best, one that allows for some top shots of the city as a sports car revs through it, one that allows the main antagonist an accent that has neither polish nor comfort. Over the course of a scene, your sympathy slithers between sides, from fan to star to fan.
