"On the whole, Summer Holidays is a watchable nostalgic drama that brings back memories of childhood and simpler times. Rohan Roy and Arun Dev deliver decent performances, and their friendship forms the emotional backbone of the film"
Also: "The biggest strength of the movie is the way it captures the childhood memories of 90s kids. Scenes of playing in mango fields, swimming in rivers and playing cricket with friends bring back the charm of those carefree days"
