Selfiee

In the finale of Selfiee, the story closely mirrors the original film Driving Licence but with some notable differences that highlight character arcs and thematic nuances. Vijay Kumar, the superstar, successfully passes the driving and verbal tests, but instead of the dramatic press conference seen in the Malayalam version, he simply embraces Om Prakash and reassures the media that they are united, cutting short any elaborate statements. This act signifies that Vijay has come to terms with the ordeal, choosing a straightforward message of unity over spectacle. Interestingly, the film concludes with a montage of selfies capturing stars with their fans, emphasizing the film’s commentary on celebrity-fan relationships and the obsession of social media culture.

Another significant change is the handing over of the driver’s license. In Driving Licence, a drunken auto rickshaw driver, Agasthi, delivers the license, adding a comedic and absurd touch. In Selfiee, Om Prakash personally hands the license to Vijay, which is more meaningful because Om has been the unintentional catalyst of the entire conflict, and this moment symbolizes his recognition of Vijay’s integrity and effort. The ending thus underscores themes of redemption and mutual respect, ratified through this symbolic gesture. Though the climax echoes the original, these subtle alterations deepen the story’s messages about ego, humility, and genuine acknowledgment in relationships, both personal and professional. Overall, Selfiee wraps up on a note of reconciliation, with the stars and fans, and the film industry, all intertwined in a celebration of authentic human connection rather than superficial fame.
