Driving by his jealousy upon his wife, Rustom, a naval officer, who after returning from a mission finds out that his wife is cheating on him with his best friend, Vickram, the thing that leads him to shot him till death, but through a good investigation, they find out that there are some hidden reasons behind the murder other than the chest.
Tinu Desai's much-anticipated Rustom is many things - but mostly it is a crushing disappointment for fans of Bollywood's resident patriot, Akshay Kumar.
Rustom is just an ineffectual reimagining of meaty source material. Its cause is not helped by ominous-sounding background music that attempts to create tension throughout.
Screaming excess threatens to stifle the emotion and tragedy; Kumar has only to hit the same note of dogged honour and wait for the storm to pass. As an exercise in medium-high style, however, it retains the attention.
