Mike McCahill Guardian 02/24/2023
3/5
Another broad, sitcom-bright crowdpleaser, prone to abusing the wacky sound effect button, this latest Mehta comedy has nevertheless been packaged with a professionalism that’s hard to deny. Go to Full Review
Ishita Sengupta OTTplay 07/20/2023
Across its runtime of 144-minutes, Selfiee ends up as a superficial depiction of a star-fan confrontation, all the while refusing to villainise — and more crucially humanise — either. Go to Full Review
Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) 03/02/2023
2/5
Raj Mehta’s film has entertaining moments in its ludicrous comic melodrama, but its focus on a driving test is stubbornly dull. I never thought I’d see a film that would tell me so much about India’s highway code. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 03/01/2023
For a comedy that's nearly two-and-a-half hours, Selfiee takes way too long to have nothing interesting to say. Emraan Hashmi puts in a good effort to make his character believable. The other cast members just exist in a dull movie with silly gimmicks. Go to Full Review
Prathyush Parasuraman Film Companion 02/28/2023
A film like Selfiee needs to be a tender dance of humour and heavyweight feelings. What it needs most, to achieve this balance, is maturity. Yet where to find this in a film that wilfully looks at a text and junks its meaning? Go to Full Review

Selfiee is not as good as Driving Licence, but it is not bad either. It’s certainly immensely superior to the mediocrity, loudness and propaganda that dominate Akshay’s filmography. Go to Full Review

Queen Kalra 03/03/2023 It was fun and an interesting one full of entertainment.. See more Mahmood Babar 02/27/2023 Best Bollywood Movie after a long long time. Exclusive story. Great performance of Akshay Kumar & Emraan Hashmi. See more sifa vahora 02/25/2023 Please do ur self a favor and don’t watch it See more Taseer A @RT37370720 01/11/2025 Selfiee is a disappointing misfire that struggles to blend comedy and drama, leaving audiences with a flat and uninspired narrative. The film attempts to explore the clash between a superstar (Akshay Kumar) and his obsessive fan (Emraan Hashmi) but fails to deliver the emotional or comedic impact it promises. Akshay Kumar tries to bring his usual charm to a character that feels underwritten, while Emraan Hashmi’s earnest performance is overshadowed by a disjointed script and lacklustre pacing. The movie is bogged down by repetitive sequences and forced humour that fails to land, making the characters feel more caricatured than relatable. The potential for an engaging commentary on fame and fandom is squandered in favour of exaggerated conflicts and unnecessary melodrama. Even the music and visuals do little to elevate the dull narrative. With minimal laughs, weak emotional beats, and a story that goes nowhere meaningful, Selfiee feels like a wasted opportunity. Unfortunately, it lacks the spark and creativity that could have made it a memorable watch. See more Aakanksha P @RT60828250 04/26/2024 I liked the simplicity and innocence of the story. One time watch for sure. See more Shrazey @RT00976690 03/12/2023 I didint go in the theatre with high expectations but the movie is average can be watched one time. Heard a lot of news about it being Bollywood's khildadi Kumars awaited comeback but sadly that isn't the case. The opening weekend took off as one of the lowest collections in ages which was very unexpected. Even my theatre was half empty there is no hype. People are striking towards watching movies like pathaan, ant man quantum and shehzada. Talking about the movie itself the performances by each actor are good not too good something out of the line tho. Emran hashmi striking good as a common mans ego with khiladis star power. Surprisingly the classy and massy comedy director raj mehta couldn't serve justice to the film. His standard comedy style was missing and everything seemed too obvious nothing special. Some comedy elements were fine tho some what entertaining. Even no action portrayed for the masses. That leaves us to the only thing the plot/story which was average seemed dragged. The focus was too much on the driving licence following the original movie but should have been on the grand selfie. At least we feel the precence of the main characters in the film that's the only good point. Overall a time pass average watch. See more Read all reviews
