'Selfiee' Fails

Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi starrer 'Selfiee' has failed to make a mark at the box office, earning only Rs. 10.25 crore in its opening weekend. This is shocking for a film headlined by A-list actors.

Remake factor?

The movie is a remake of the Malayalam film 'Driving Licence,' and it is possible that the remake factor may have worked against the drama, coupled with 'Pathaan's ongoing rampage at the box office.

Collections

The dismal numbers faced by the film are the lowest for an Akshay Kumar film in over a decade. 'Ek Villain Returns' and 'Heropanti 2' had better opening-day collections than 'Selfiee.'

Content

Per Box Office India, "The film just can't recover from the sort of start it got. The question is how can an Akshay Kumar film have such low numbers and it's pretty simple the content has no reach."

Plot

The film stars Kumar as a superstar and Hashmi as a motor vehicle inspector, with Nushrratt Bharuccha and Diana Penty playing their respective wives. Their ego clash is the bedrock of the plot.
