An action packed tale, the story begins with Virat Bakshi (akshay) a captain with the Indian army and he comes to Mumbai for holidays. He is taken to see Sahiba (sonakshi) for alliance but he rejects her but eventually he sees another side in her which attracts him. The story takes a turn when a bomb blast occurs in Mumbai. Virat starts his hunt to chase the culprits and catches one of them only to discover that there are more of such bombs in the city. How Virat goes about tracking the other bombs and the people behind it form the rest of the story.

The director has come up with a thrilling storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was taut. The dialogues were energy filled, the script was tight and the screenplay was great and fast paced. Background score was strong and two songs were melodious. Cinematography was masterly. Editing was sharp. Costumes were trendy and youthful while the art department was natural. Akshay Kumar looks suave and carries off his role with good style.It would not be wrong to say that in Holiday Akshay has given one of his career best performances.Watch out for his action scenes, he proves there is no one better, he blows your mind in the action scenes. Sonakshi Sinha looks pretty and sexy wherever required. Govinda gave many laughs. Same goes with Sumeet Raghavan. Freddy Daruwala was perfect as the baddie. Aackruti Nagpal looks hot. The others did their bit as required.

The film is a remake of the Tamil super hit 'Thuppakki' made by Murugadoss himself. The first half is filled with elements of suspense,thrill,comedy, romance, songs and some action. The second half is were the films hits the excellence peak.Its adrenaline filled with some of the best action scenes, seen in bollywood and a little patriotic angle.Overall, this is Bollywood's best film so far in 2014, AR Murgadoos has proved after Ghajini again why he is so loved in the south. He makes a taut sleek action thriller, which has a little bit of masala so that audience is fully entertained. The film is a must watch just to see the amazing action, and to see Akshay Kumar at his best, he will leave speechless in the climax.Tu suspense mein maar.... One of his best acts ever. Blockbuster!!!!
