When does it happen, and why in that order? The questions people ask about the chronology of Selfie (2014): time jumps, flashbacks, cause and effect between scenes and the correct order of events, each answered with spoilers.

Q1

Why did Vijay's driving licence go missing?

Vijay's driving licence disappeared during a transfer between RTO offices in Bhopal. The bureaucratic process caused a delay in issuing a duplicate, which threatened the production schedule of his film Falak Tak. Om Prakash Aggarwal later discovered the licence had been in a gift box that was discarded at the RTO office earlier.

Q2

Why did Om agree to issue Vijay's licence illegally?

Om Prakash Aggarwal was a die-hard fan of Vijay Kumar. When Vijay needed the licence urgently to complete his film's climactic shoot on Indian Navy land, Om agreed to arrange an illicit licence without the required test. He asked Vijay to visit personally to collect it as proof, hoping this face-to-face meeting would protect him if questions arose later.

Suraj Diwan was Vijay's professional rival in the film industry. According to the summary, he schemed to suppress competition using occult means, adding a supernatural element to the conflict.

Why did Om believe Vijay was behind the attacks on his family?

After Suraj's fandom staged a hit-and-run attack on Om and a masked gang threw stones at his home injuring his son, Om became convinced Vijay's associates were responsible.

  • vijay suspicion

Q5

Why did Om fail Vijay on the practical driving test?

However, a higher-ranking supervisor overruled Om's decision and passed Vijay anyway.

  • H test
  • om fails vijay

Q6

How was Vijay's licence finally rediscovered?

Q7

Why did Vijay rescue Om from the angry mob?

The practical test postponement coincided with Naina's surgery, adding personal stakes to the public battle.

  • surrogate delivery

Q10

Why did the driving test become a question-and-answer session?

  • learner permit

Q11

Why was the licence crisis critical for Falak Tak?
