Selfie (2015) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Vijay's driving license goes missing due to a clerical mix-up while it was being moved between RTO buildings. This mundane administrative error occurs just as Vijay needs to present the license to get clearance for the climactic shoot of his film Falak Tak. The timing couldn't be worse since the production is already over budget and the Navy-leased land for the final shoot is only available for a limited period.

Om agrees because a political ally pressures him to 'fast-track' the license as a quid pro quo. Om is also a devoted fan of Vijay and genuinely wants to help keep the film production on track. He hopes that having Vijay come to the RTO in person will provide visible proof of the process and prevent later inquiries, though he insists on meeting Vijay directly.

Vimla Tiwari deliberately leaks misinformation to the press, exploiting the situation for political gain. She knows Vijay is an ardent driver and uses this to paint him as someone who has been driving illegally. The leak creates a media firestorm that damages Vijay's reputation and escalates the public feud between him and Om.

The attacks are orchestrated by Suraj Diwan's fandom head, not Vijay's people. A hit-and-run attack targets Om himself, while a masked gang throws stones at his house, injuring his son. Om wrongly suspects Vijay's circle is behind the violence, but the truth later emerges that Suraj's camp orchestrated these attacks as part of his sabotage campaign against Vijay.

Vijay makes the threatening call in a moment of desperation and anger after his son is injured and he has canceled his US trip. The call happens during the chaos of rushing to the hospital, and while the exact words are not detailed, it comes across as intimidating to Om. This incident strengthens Om's belief that Vijay is using his star power to bully ordinary people.

Vijay announces he will submit to a driving test under Om's supervision with media coverage, turning it into a live public spectacle. However, the 'open test' unexpectedly transforms into a direct question-and-answer session where Om asks Vijay difficult and unusual questions. Vijay must answer while maintaining composure under pressure, testing his knowledge and temperament rather than just driving skills.

After Vijay passes the H-test (initially failed by Om for petty mistakes but overturned by a superior), Om deliberately postpones the road test by two days. This delay coincides exactly with the day Naina requires her surgery, creating additional personal hardship for Vijay. The postponement appears to be Om's final attempt to exert power over the situation before the truth emerges.

The truth emerges when Om reveals that Vijay's license was actually inside a gift box that had been discarded at the RTO earlier. The license was never truly lost, it was misplaced among celebratory items meant for Om. This discovery proves the entire conflict was avoidable and stems from a simple bureaucratic mix-up rather than any deliberate wrongdoing by Vijay.

Vijay conflict escal makes this dramatic announcement because the ongoing struggle has taken too heavy a toll on his family and personal life. His wife Naina's health crisis, the attacks on Om's family, the media frenzy, and the endless bureaucratic delays have made him willing to give up driving entirely rather than continue fighting. The emotional declaration escalates the confrontation and nearly leads to Om being lynched by Vijay's enraged fans.

Suraj Diwan is Vijay's professional rival who uses occult methods to try to suppress Vijay's career. He orchestrates the attacks on Om's family through his fandom head and manipulates the situation to damage Vijay's reputation. A fellow actress secretly records Suraj's confession about his involvement, which eventually comes to light and exposes his complicity in the conspiracy.

Foreshadowing: Suraj's earlier occult schemes against Vijay hint at his willingness to use unethical tactics.

Vijay cancels the US trip because the producer insists he must be available for the crucial climactic shoot of Falak Tak. The film is already over budget, and Vijay's presence is essential to complete the production. The cancellation also means he cannot be with his wife Naina for the birth of their child through surrogacy, adding emotional strain to the situation.

Vijay passes the learner's test by successfully navigating a series of difficult and unusual questions posed by Om during the Q&A session. Despite the adversarial nature of the questioning, Vijay maintains his composure and demonstrates both knowledge and temperament. The test is described as challenging Om's knowledge and ability to handle pressure rather than a straightforward driving exam.

Naina's health takes a turn for the worse while Vijay is embroiled in the license controversy, requiring urgent surgery. The timing creates a difficult dilemma since Vijay must balance completing the driving test process with reaching her in time for the medical procedure. A flight is arranged to get him to her as soon as the testing phase concludes.

Vijay completes the H test successfully, demonstrating his driving ability. However, Om initially marks him down for petty mistakes and fails him.
