Virat discovers that a serial blasts are planned in the city and he becomes one man army. He manages save the city. How he does this, is the story which should be watched on screen.

The plot is quite good and the direction was also fine but the film seems too long and need editing. It definitely has flaws but it didn’t fail to entertain the audience. Akshay Kumar’s stunts are jaw dropping as always and he leads the film without much support from his fellow actors. Farhad did average job in the villain role and Sonakshi was good in songs.

Verdict: Overall Holiday: A soldier Is Never Off Duty is a good entertaining movie and can be watched once for sure on the screen.
