He makes you want to support the man who probably did the right thing the wrong way.

He reminds you to value the honest officers who serve our country with dignity and valour. To cut to the chase, Rustom can be watched for its story and most importantly Akshay Kumar, whose action/comic brilliance often overshadows his acting prowess. Ileana D'Cruz is perfectly cast and does complete justice to her role. However, director Tinu Suresh Desai infuses ample melodrama and ups the intrigue. Based on a controversial case, Rustom lacks the unnerving tension one ideally expects from a film of this genre. He smoothly pulls off his character with utmost ease.

He pays him a visit and shoots him to death, following which he surrenders himself but claims to be 'not guilty' in the court, much to the surprise of the businessmans sister and the officers dealing with his case. The Khiladi renders one of the most understated performances of his career, proving yet again that he can play a range of diverse roles with aplomb. A naval officer is devastated to learn about his wifes extramarital affair with a rich businessman while he was away. He takes us quickly through the circumstances in which Rustom shoots Vikram and the trial begins. Without wasting any time, the director comes straight to the point.

Coming to the film, Rustom has a cracker of a beginning. The subsequent trial was one of India's most sensational court cases. Though the climax has been smartly fictionalised, this courtroom drama is essentially based on the real life of Naval officer K M Nanavati, who in 1959, shot and killed his wife's lover.
