Written and directed by A.R.Murgadoss and starring Akshay Kumar & Sonakshi Sinha, Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty is a remake of the Tamil blockbuster film 'Thuppakki'. The movie revolves around obviously a soldier, Virat (Akshay Kumar), on holiday who gets embroiled in a terror plot. Of course Virat ends up meeting Saiba (played by Akki's favorite leading lady Sonakshi Sinha) and the usual Bollywood flirting sessions begin. Just when you think Akshay has taken a holiday from his usual action avatar, the tone of the movie changes as it's revealed that the hero is also a secret agent working for the Indian government. A few quick but brilliant action shots later, a suave terrorist is introduced and you know you are in for an action-thriller extravaganza. While the romantic bit may seem ordinary and frivolous especially in the second half, Holiday is an absorbing, pacy, gripping film. Please do not confuse Holiday with any other quintessential Akshay Kumar masala movie, it is not!! Murgadoss has made an intelligent film, keeping the script tight, merging all the key elements of drama, comedy & romance well while retaining the serious message the film conveys about the sacrifices our Jawans in the army make for us day in and day out. With Holiday, Akshay Kumar, is back and how. The gorgeous actor delivers on every level -- be it action, dancing, comedy or romance. Sonakshi Sinha looks lovely & for now thats all that can be said about her. Govinda in a special appearance, Sumeet Raghvan & Farhad aka Freddy Daruwala ace as does the rest of the cast. -- Published on June 6, 2014
