Akshay Kumar, Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Selfiee’ fails to impress

Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi-starrer Selfiee is struggling at the box office. The film, that released on February 24, became the lowest opener of Akshay in over a decade with just Rs 3 crore. And now, it continues seeing a decline in its box office collections. The film earned less than Rs 2 crore in India on Wednesday, March 1, despite having two big stars in lead roles. Selfiee is a remake of the Malayalam drama Driving License. It starred Prithviraj Sukumaran and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles, and was a huge hit. However, the same can’t be said about Selfiee.

Selfiee brings together Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi in lead roles. The film graced theatres on February 24. It marks Akshay’s first film of the year. According to trade estimates, the film is not doing a good business at the box office. On Day 6, March 1, Selfiee saw a drastic drop and raked in just Rs 1 crore. Hence, its total domestic box office collection would now stand at Rs 13.70 crore. Meanwhile, Selfiee had an overall 9.70 per cent Hindi occupancy on March 1.

Selfiee released in theatres on February 24. The storyline of the film follows a Bollywood superstar Vijay Kumar who needs to get a new driver’s license from an RTO officer. However, a misunderstanding leads to a war of words between the two, eventually escalating into a feud which is played out in front of the entire country.
