Watching the movies like Khiladi 786, Tees Maar Khan, Blue, I came to conclusion that the worst era of Akshay Kumar has begun as it was the case of Mithun Da in late 90s. However, the movies like Oh My God sent a ray of hope that Mr. Khiladi can still survive the heat of modern day competition on our box-office.
The similar ray of hope flourished after I watched the trailer of the movie Holiday-A Soldier is Never Off Duty.
I went to watch the movie, considering that it will fall in category of movies like 16th December, Madras Cafe, D-Day, Vishwaroopam - the movies depicting the reality of espionage.
But I was disappointed to see how a movie on the issue of grave problems like sleeper cells can be given the shape of a comedy flick. In fact this falls in line with conventional Indian movies, which are famous for the climax, showing how hero is beaten up by the villain and how he stands up and a mano-a-mano fight takes place. It was quite amusing to see the scene, when Akshay Kumar stands in the office of DIA and says "BOOM", because of his abrupt posture.
In my opinion, the real culprit is the audience, who wants the crap movies and who rejects the quality espionage movies.
