Selfie - Movie Review by SRA

 The movie review of Selfiee, as written by Dhaval Roy for TNN, praises the film as a rib-tickling comedy with solid performances from its cast. The story centers around Vijay Kumar, a famous actor who needs a driver's license urgently to complete his movie shoot in Bhopal. However, a conflict with Om Prakash, the motor vehicle inspector, creates a feud between them. The reviewer notes that while the premise may seem feeble, the punchlines and performances make up for it.

The review highlights the acting performances of both Emraan Hashmi and Akshay Kumar, with Hashmi playing the role of a super fan who becomes Kumar's nemesis. Hashmi's portrayal is particularly noteworthy as he effectively maintains the humble and middle-class persona of his character while also performing heroic actions.

The director, Raj Mehta, is commended for his adept handling of the first half of the movie. The reviewer notes that Mehta keeps the story entertaining and breezy with hilarious one-liners that Kumar delivers effortlessly. However, the second half, which revolves around the face-off between the two leads, is not as high on humor. Despite this, the reviewer still considers it watchable, though some scenes may feel stretched.

The review also highlights the performances of the supporting cast, including Abhimanyu Singh, Meghna Malik, Diana Penty, and Nushrratt Bharuccha. Singh plays Vijay's former roommate, and the reviewer notes that he is hilarious but his parts may seem forced after a couple of instances. Malik stands out for her impeccable comic timing in scenes with Kumar, while Penty's portrayal of Vijay's supportive wife is commendable. Bharuccha, who is known for her work in comedy, does a good job in her role as Om Prakash's wife.

The music in the movie is also praised, with remixes of popular songs and original tracks that are dance-worthy. Overall, the reviewer suggests that Selfiee is an enjoyable and easy-to-watch movie with plenty of comedic moments. The film's strong performances, humorous one-liners, and entertaining music make it a good choice for those looking for a lighthearted comedy.
