‘Selfiee’ movie review: A captivating script drives this thrilling Akshay Kumar-starrer

A high-pitched, fast-paced mass entertainer that doesn’t give up on the discerning audience, Selfiee once again proves that there is no bigger star than a coherent script. A remake of the Malayalam hit Driving Licence, writer Sachy’s story finds a new life in Bhopal where an ordinary motor vehicle inspector at the Regional Transport Office takes on a superstar after circumstances choose to play truant. Selfiee Director: Raj Mehta Cast: Akshay Kumar, Emraan Hashmi, Nushratt Baruccha, Diana Penty, Meghna Malik, Abhimanyu Singh, Mahesh Thakur Duration: 148 minutes Synopsis: A misunderstanding, between a Bollywood superstar and an RTO officer, escalates into a feud that plays out in media glare. which is played out in front of the entire country It reminds me of An Action Hero in not being just about an ordinary fan threatening to take down the fandom of a superstar but Selfiee, riding on Akshay’s image, navigates the moral dilemmas and intrinsic logic in a better way. From the bureaucracy’s knack to nitpick when it decides to be on your wrong side to the media’s urge to sensationalise minor issues for ratings, Selfiee shows us the mirror multiple times.
