Holiday – Hindi film review

A Soldier Is Never Off Duty

Rating: ***

Holiday begins with a weak introduction where a family is waiting at the station for the hero to return home from his posting at the front. A train load of soldiers arrives and out hops Captain Virat Bakshi (Akshay Kumar), an army man who is back home to Mumbai for his holidays. 

The heroine part in the story is out of place, a caricature of a Mumbai Police Sub Inspector has become a norm of the day, all this to project that the hero was larger than life.

Holiday has a hackneyed humour. In fact it comes out intentionally in the climax when the terrorist exulting the mastermind to just finish the game.

Akshay Kumar does his part well. It is difficult to find out flaws in his performance. Sonakshi Sinha isn’t given much to perform. Aackruti Nagpal makes her impressive comeback as Sonakshi Sinha’s sister. Debutant Freddy Daruwala leaves a mark.

The film pays a tribute to Indian Army’s fearless and courageous soldiers who even when not on duty, are dedicated and ever willing to sacrifice their lives for their motherland. And that’s it nothing more.

Tum Ho Yaara - Hindi movie review

 Rating: **

Tum Ho Yaara is a love triangle-cum-thriller starring Ganesh Venkatraman, Kalpana Pandit & Shobana, directed by Natty Kumar & Dr. Jay while J.

Shiva is a witness to a crime, which he comes to know that his girl friend’s father is the master mind. Shiva is planning to go to the US for bright prospects and so Meera is keen that before he departs, Shiva should meet her father and ask for her hand.

It begins well, loses pace midway, but catches up in the latter half which is full of twists and turns. Shobana’s character is that of a sweet looking homely-cum-professional doctor. Kalpana Pandit looks voluptuous and cool yet agressive team member in Shiva’s team in the US. Shiva is fit enough for the realistic action sequences performed by him.

Raftaar and the stars took to the stage to come face to face with an array of excited fans who were screaming to see the latest Bollywood heartthrobs and belle.

They grooved to FUGLY’s hit music tracks which have been dominating the airwaves since they first released starting their  live performance with the party anthem of the season, Dhupchik, produced and sung by Raftaar, and originally composed by Yo Yo Honey Singh. The fans shouted en core and the stars complied with a repeat performance!

Next Mohit and Kiara captivated their fans, hand in hand, with their performance to the soulful number Dhuaan, composed by Prashant Vadhyar. At the event Prashant became vocalist and sung the track. In their usual cheeky self, watching Mohit and Kiara holding hands, Arfi, Vijender and Raftaar showed their bromance by also holding hands causing fans to be in splits!
