Of
the
two
new
Bollywood
releases,
Holiday
A
Soldier
Is
Never
Off
Duty
has
received
a
decent
response
at
the
Indian
Box
Office.
The
Akshay
Kumar
and
Sonakshi
Sinha
starrer
action
entertainer
has
overtaken
another
new
movie
Filmistan.
But
trade
experts
feel
that
its
opening
is
not
upto
the
expected
mark.
Holiday
is
one
of
the
most-hyped
and
highly-anticipated
movie.
The
makers
have
had
massive
promotions
for
the
film.
There
are
no
big
releases
in
any
other
Indian
regional
languages
to
compete
with
it.
In
addition,
it
happens
to
be
the
first
movie
to
release
post
the
IPL
season.
Considering
all
these
facts,
trade
experts
in
B-Town
had
predicted
that
it
will
start
with
a
bang
and
run
to
packed
houses
across
the
country.
Surprisingly,
the
movie
opened
to
an
average
start
with
its
occupancy
ranging
between
35%
and
40%
in
the
morning
shows
across
the
country.
Multiplexes
screening
this
movie
registered
better
footfalls
than
single
screens.
Word
of
mouth
took
its
business
upwards
in
matinee
and
evenings.
Taran
Adarsh
writes,
"Given
the
merits
of
the
film,
this
A.R.
Murugadoss-directed
film
should
collect
impressive
numbers
at
single
screens
and
plexes,
both."
Released
in
54
screens
on
June
5,
Holiday
has
taken
the
UAE
Box
Office
by
the
storm.
Taran
Adarsh
tweeted,
"#Holiday
-
A
Soldier
Is
Never
Off
Duty
storms
UAE-GCC.
It's
the
HIGHEST
*Thursday
opening*
ever
for
an
Akshay
Kumar
starrer." He
added,
"#Holiday
-
A
Soldier
Is
Never
Off
Duty
overtakes
#Housefull2
and
#SinghIsKing
Thursday
numbers
in
UAE-GCC.
Collects
$
226,000
[Rs
1.34
cr]."
Holiday
has
received
positive
reviews
from
the
film
critics.
Even
movie
buffs
have
given
it
thumbs.
Many
took
to
their
Twitter
pages
to
share
verdict
on
the
film.
