Recently watched the Akshay Kumar’s latest-a suspenseful legal
thriller “Rustom”. This film has both its heart and brain in the right places. It
thrills makes you think, entertains and leaves you to draw your conclusions in
the end.
Based on the
once famous Nanavati murder case, Akshay dons the lead role and performs the
role of an unapologetic Naval officer with aplomb. His expressions are spot on.
The crux of the film with interesting courtroom drama without
revealing the spoilers is that of a murder ostensibly committed by Akshay and
even after surrendering, does a U turn in court and pleads innocent.
Ileana ably supports him as the wife who has crossed the line of
fidelity with a teary but believable performance. Esha Gupta and Pavan Malhotra
come up with worthy performances too.
Music is lilting,
especially the song “Tere sang yaara” is very hummable; all credit to composer
Arko and singer Atif.
Worth a watch!
My rating : 4/5
