Watched #Selfiee today, and it's good that i haven’t watched the original Malayalam successful movie 'Driving License'. My enjoyment was double for this reason.
Selfiee revolves around superstar Vijay Kumar (Akshay Kumar) and one of his most ardent fans, Om Prakash Aggarwal (Emraan Hashmi).
A film shoot brings Vijay to Bhopal and then to the RTO, as he needs a new driving license for the climax shot for his movie.
Situations turn ugly as a publicity hungry local politician close to Superstar Vijay tries to take advantage of the situation.
In the era of social media, misunderstanding between an RTO Inspector and superstar goes out of proportion.
Vijay and Om are supported by spouses played by Diana and Nusrat. Om's son is also a big fan of Superstar but considers his father as a real-life hero.
While the intent of superstar and RTO Inspector are shown pure for each other, circumstances create a rift between them and media/news channels, making it appear wide open. Nationwide debates on TV shows, favoring and opposing superstar, and RTO Inspector keep on adding fuel to fire. Paid social media trends #Boycott #Bollywood starts trending to worsen the situation.
Until the end, both of them are trying to win over each other, but then real culprits surface and accept mistakes.
Superstar Vijay (Akshay Kumar) is shown in full swag and RTO Inspector Om as common man acted by Emraan Hashmi are relatable.
Movie has a story to believe, emotions, jokes cracked spontaneously to bring fun, tussel between two leading actors though they don't have inferior motives.
Even if you are not a fan of any of the actors of this movie, you will like the movie, which ends with the return of classic dance number Main Khiladi Tu Anaari.
