RUSTOM - Movie Review


Rating: ***

A Naval Commander pleads NOT GUILTY after 3 gun shots on his playboy friend.


At the very begining itself, the director has claimed that the film is a work of fiction, and is a fictional representation of the case of K M Nanavati versus State of Maharashtra which grabbed headlines during the 1960s.

The crispiness and pace of Akshay Kumar’s earlier thrillers (Baby, Special 26, Holiday, etc) are missing in this film. The Editor of the local english paper and the kid who sells the newspapers on the streets overdo their acts.


The film isn’t a murder mystery and lacks the suspense factor which doesn’t exactly keep you hooked to your seats.
