Indian Flick With Subtitles
by bill - 2017-05-12 ( culture / movies-tv-video ) [html version]
I'm selecting a movie to watch on Netflix. I see "Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty."
It's Indian, with subtitles, but in the category of Action/Adventure. The blurb says "Capt. Bakshi sets out to stop a network of terrorist sleeper cells!"
I give it a shot. Not crazy about subtitles, but I like foreign locales. Twenty minutes into it, it's a musical comedy all of a sudden, with the lead actor singing and dancing while pining over a beautiful tomboy girl.
What the...? It's actually pretty funny... for all the wrong reasons.
Just thought I'd give you a heads up so you don't make the same mistake I did. This was a public service announcement.
