Holiday- A Soldier is Never Off Duty Hindi Movie Reviews


 Ratings:2/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site:CNN IBN
To be fair, there's a consistent slickness in the action scenes, and occasional suspense too. But it's all let down by the Class IV level of writing. Repeated dialogues about the sacrifices of army men feel token, and a closing song in which families send off their soldiers to the frontline is shamelessly manipulative. I'm going with two out of five for Holiday. Akshay Kumar livens up the proceedings now and then, but a lot of it is just thookpatti in this Thuppaki remake.

HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY comes across as an exception because the smartly-packaged fare never loses focus from its core issue with the post-interval portions diversifying into race-against-time thriller mode. Also, Murugadoss employs the right tricks to woo the entertainment-seeking spectator. On the whole, HOLIDAY - A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY is a slick action-thriller that keeps you engrossed, enthralled and captivated all through, thanks to its fascinating premise and a watertight, razor-sharp screenplay. Go for it!

Holiday - A Soldier is Never Off Duty, a remake of the Tamil blockbuster Thuppaki, is a profoundly moronic film. Without pause, it moves from one preposterous situation to another. So fearsome terrorists are stored in bedroom cupboards, frantic searches for sleeper cells are interrupted by an inane love angle, at one point, the hero fixes his dislocated arm by casually snapping it back into place. Holiday - A Solider is Never Off Duty is a superstar vehicle without a brain or a heart. I’m going with one star.

Ratings:1.5/5 Review By: Raja Sen Site: Rediff
Holiday, obsessed as it is with detailing Akshay's efficiency, takes obscene amounts of time getting to the point. Cut down to less than half its running time, Holiday could perhaps have been bearable. As it stands, three hours long and incredibly yawnworthy, it's the kind of mess that makes you miss scenery-chewing villains like Prakash Raj and long for item songs. Anything for a respite. The audience nearly applauded when the intermission began, I kid you not.

Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Madhureeta Mukherjee Site: Times Of India (TOI)
Murgadoss' film (remake of the Tamil 'Thupakki') offers an intelligent plot, with blows, blasts and raw bone-cracking action (Greg Powell- of 'Skyfall' fame). It triggers a fear that anyone from your paanwala to pizza-delivery boy could be a 'closet' terrorist (Beware!). While the core plot is compelling and finely directed, the side-tracks - like bombs needing to be deactivated and the romantic angle, waste screen-time and the songs infiltrate the plot too often. The film is too long and needs a taut edit. It has flaws too, but doesn't fail to entertain.
