Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], 'Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty' starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, has completed 10 years of its release.
Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film starred Akshay Kumar as an army officer and also featured Sonakshi Sinha, Freddy Daruwala, Sumeet Raghavan and Govinda in special roles.
'Holiday' revolves around an Indian Army officer who comes to Mumbai on holidays and searches for the terrorist leader of a sleeper cell network and neutralises the sleeper cells working under his orders. With a perfect blend of humour, the film portrays the strength, devotion and dignity of a soldier towards his country.
On the 10th anniversary of the film, producer Vipul Amritlal Shah expressed his thoughts behind making such a film.
He said, "Holiday was a very new spy thriller genre that came out and it was a huge success.I think the plot, the treatment, the performances, all were so fresh and so brilliant that it had a huge connect with the audience." Straight up, I think this is one of Akshay Kumar's best performances for the character. Very calm demeanor and then suddenly there was a need for unexpected sharpness and intelligence, which Akshay brought out so simply and beautifully under the direction of Murugadoss sir who wrote the film, the way he directed the film was absolutely brilliant and everyone, Sonakshi, Freddy and other actors all performed brilliantly in their roles and I think that was the reason why the whole concept of sleeper cell was so new in Indian cinema and I think it touched the hearts of the audience. So I think it was a complete package and we were sure that Govinda sir's cameo in the film was a great cameo. Even in the editing or when we were reading the script, we all knew that we had something very special in our hands. And I am happy that in 10 years' time the film has achieved a kind of cult status in the minds of the audience. ,,
Not only the story but also the music albums like 'Shayraana', 'Tu Hi To Hai', 'Ashq Na Ho', 'Blame the Night' and 'Palang Tod' entertained the audience a lot.
