Selfiee Funny Memes and Jokes Poking Fun at Akshay Kumar's Latest Movie 'Disaster' at Box Office Go Viral on Twitter!
With the struggle of Shezada last week and Selfiee this week, the message clearly does seem to be that the audience is no longer keen on watching remakes. What will this mean for the upcoming movies in Bollywood, most of which seem to be heavily relying on the audience’s love for South Indian movies and following the path of remakes?
Akshay Kumar and Emran Hashmi’s Selfiee opened to mellow responses across the country, with several shows of the movie being cancelled, due to low ticket sales. Less than a month after Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan broke all box office records and was hailed as the “saviour of Bollywood” the industry seems to once again struggle with another week witnessing low footfalls and box office collections. And while the ticket sales of Selfiee may be low, social media sure is filled with chatter about the movie - memes and jokes on Selfiee’s Box Office Verdict, to be precise.
Selfiee, produced by Dharma Productions, Magic Frames, Prithviraj Productions, Cape of Good Films, and Star Studios, is once again a remake of a 2022 South Indian movie. The promotions of the movie saw no bounds, with Akshay Kumar attempting to break the Guinness Book of Records for the selfie with the most number of people. However, the number of people who showed up to actually watch the movie in theatres has been surprisingly low. And well, here’s what the internet had to say about this turn of events.
