The weekend box office collections for Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi starrer Selfiee have been disappointing to say the least. Despite the hype and star power behind the film, it has failed to attract audiences to theatres, leading to a lacklustre opening weekend collection.
Selfiee Box Office Collection Day 3: Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi starrer Selfiee has completely failed to attract the audience to theatres. Directed by Raj Mehta, the film hit the screens last weekend and has not even managed a decent collection in its first weekend, let alone match the star power of Akshay on the big screen. After opening at Rs 2.55 crore nett, Selfiee earned around Rs 3.90 crore nett on its first Sunday, as reported by the trade website sacnilk

Directed by Raj Mehta, Selfiee hit the screens last weekend with high expectations. However, the film’s opening day collection of Rs 2.55 crore nett was lacklustre, and it failed to pick up much on its second day. On its first Sunday, the film managed to earn around Rs 3.90 crore nett, bringing its total weekend collection to just over Rs 7 crore nett.
The disappointing performance of Selfiee at the box office can be attributed to a number of factors. First and foremost, the film’s storyline failed to connect with audiences. Selfiee tells the story of two friends, played by Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi, who embark on a journey of self-discovery after a series of unexpected events. While the premise of the film may have sounded intriguing on paper, the execution on screen fell flat, leaving audiences underwhelmed.
Secondly, the film faced stiff competition at the box office from other releases such as Sooryavanshi and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Sooryavanshi, which stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role, has been performing exceptionally well at the box office, leaving little room for other releases to make an impact. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: No Way Home has been breaking records left, right and centre, making it difficult for Selfiee to make a mark.

Finally, the ongoing pandemic has also had a significant impact on the film’s box office performance. With many people still hesitant to visit theatres due to the risk of infection, footfalls at cinemas have been lower than usual. This has made it difficult for films to earn the kind of collections they would under normal circumstances.
Despite the disappointing box office collections, Selfiee has received mixed reviews from critics. While some have praised the performances of Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi, others have criticised the film’s lacklustre screenplay and weak characterisation. The film’s music, composed by Tanishk Bagchi and Rochak Kohli, has also received a lukewarm response from audiences and critics alike.
Looking ahead, it remains to be seen whether Selfiee will be able to sustain itself at the box office over the coming weeks. With little buzz surrounding the film and no major holidays on the horizon, it is unlikely that the film will see a significant jump in collections anytime soon. However, if word of mouth improves and audiences start to warm up to the film, it could still manage to hold its own at the box office.
