Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a slick action-thriller that keeps you engrossed, enthralled and captivated all through, thanks to its fascinating premise and a watertight, razor-sharp screenplay.
-
The film is too long and needs a taut edit. It has flaws too, but doesn't fail to entertain.
-
...total paisa vasool.
-
...makes for a satisfying watch and will keep the audience coming.
-
The unpredictable treatment of the storyline keeps you hooked.
-
It makes the best of its neat content, uses Akshay Kumar’s superlative parkour and martial arts skills and entertains you in three stylish and engrossing hours.
-
...a lot of room for improvement.
-
If you are looking for some dhamekadar time pass, Holiday is a film for you.
-
The lead actors do well in their parts, and their pairing will possibly be a draw. But with such weak characterization and soppy romance, even their electric onscreen chemistry is diluted.
-
...a fair watch for people who have not seen Thuppakki. For ones who have watched the Tamil film, this Hindi remake would not excite one bit.
-
A decent enough plot butchered by filmi-ness viz, dialogue-baazi, overt style, romantic track, songs and so on.
-
The problem with Holiday is that the formulaic comedy and romance end up diluting the thriller that it is intended to be, while the entire film is weighed down by its senselessness.
-
...is totally your thing if you're a die-hard Akki fan, an action guy or you watch just anything.
-
Akshay's freshness and story's pace is killed by the unneccessary romantic angle, songs and film's duration.
-
...lacks the sustained intensity and urgency of an edge-of-the-seat spy thriller.
-
Akshay Kumar livens up the proceedings now and then, but a lot of it is just thookpatti in this Thuppaki remake.
-
Holiday’s slickness and the adroit use of actual locations in Mumbai can’t prevent slippages into ludicrousness.
-
When will the South ‘masala’ remake find a decent burial? It is long past its sell-by date.
-
...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.
-
...three hour-long bore fest...
-
A trashy remake of a preposterous Tamil film.
-
A vacation for the brain.
-
...a profoundly moronic film that moves from one preposterous situation to another.
