"Holiday"- A review

"Holiday"Akshay Sonakshi starrer latest release was another disappointment. Old storyline action and  drama,movie makers had nothing to offer . It's always a surprise  how box office success reflects the quality of film. To great extent today's pre release marketing costs bring in initial audience to collect revenue and declare quick results of success However, that  doesn't make it a great film.
Capt Virat returning home on a short holiday decides to devote his time to  eliminate a dreaded terrorist (was it an official mission or he just decides to do it on his own- leaves one to muse)and subsequent action sequences seem so unrealistic.
Govinda  in a short role has nothing to offer. Sonakshi is a fancy add- on to distract  film's weak points.
Last scene particularly is maker's final folly to have everyone see off the loved one with tearful eyes reminds of  a mock war movie scene where director forgot to add few  people to enact normal emotions.
Vipul Amrutlal Shah whose earlier movies had both content and entertainment( Waqt, Namastey London) seems to have joined bandwagons of makers who believe in making in quick money without taking enough pains and efforts to offer quality. "Holiday" might have been declared one of highest grosser of this year, it will be wiped off memory very soon.
