Rustom: Movie Review

Rustom: Movie Review

‘3 Shots that shocked the nation’- RUSTOM,

A crime-mystery film directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and written by Vipul K Raval is based on the real life incident of Indian Naval Officer K.M Nanavati.

The story revolves around an innocent officer, Rustom Pavri(Akshay Kumar) who finds out his wife’s affair with his friend, and even goes to the extent of killing him. Public support, sympathy, love, revenge, corruption is what makes the film RUSTOM a heartwarming experience for those 151 minutes.    

  

K.M. Nanavati’s case (Filmed as RUSTOM) was the last jury trial case in India, maybe because later it was felt by the authorities that a murderer was declared innocent by the jury out of sympathy and media influence, which makes the film more interesting to watch. The flow was appreciated by the viewers, for right from the first scene to the last the unpredictability was well maintained by the film-makers, thanks to Tinu Suresh Desai.

However, Ileana was able to express more from her face than Akshay in the film, a good film for Ileana but a just another patriotic film for Akshay, maybe because this is his 4^th or 5^th film that is fundamentally based on a guy’s passion towards his own country.

Basically this is a no-masala film so those looking for a masala weekend entertainer, RUSTOM will not be the cup of tea for them. It’s a story with good content, direction and acting. 

The story somewhere in the middle tries to tell the audience that Rustom had a secret motive behind killing  his wife’s lover and he just used his wife just as a medium to kill that guy. But later this little not so useful spark is dropped and the film finally reaches its end that is probably known to most of the audience.

If you like films with investigation and lots of background story revolving around it, go and watch RUSTOM and celebrate your Independence Day with your friends and family.
