The Madison Film Forum wants you to stream one great film every week, attend at least one great film every month, and meet people doing the same. We don’t sponsor these screenings, we just support them by showing up.

Captain Virat Bakshi (Akshay Kumar) is a soldier never off duty in Holiday, an upcoming Bollywood action thriller written and directed by A.R. Murugadoss. It features Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead roles and is a remake of the 2012 Tamil blockbuster movie Thuppakki.

We’ve aggregated many reviews of Holiday: A Soldier is Never Off Duty at our Madison Film Forum Flipboard Magazine. The general consensus seems to be that while the romance may be weak, the action should please Kumar fans. Flipboard wide MFFHere’s an excerpt from the Bollywood Hungama review:

The scene-stealer is, without doubt, Akshay Kumar, who reinvents himself with this one. The actor has acted in every possible genre and though the cynics may argue that Akshay keeps repeating himself in film after film, I’d like to remind them of his nuanced act in SPECIAL 26 and now HOLIDAY – A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY. It’s a power-packed portrayal, which the actor illustrates with complete understanding, without going overboard. This is Akshay’s show unquestionably!

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!
