RUSTOM: The
Review
Rustom Pavri. A decorated naval commander is
taken to trial, or in better expression, was taken to trial for shooting three
bullets into the chest of his wife’s lover. Or, is it? Is the plot this
obvious? So, a man’s ego is upset over wife’s deception but was there a greater
game afoot? Rustom answers it all. The plot is seemingly loose towards the
first half when the scenes grapple to clinch a maturing.

The seeds of a murder,
a trial and a confession are sown towards the beginning. Director Tinu Suresh perhaps
has loosened the characters to unfold on their own until the second half of the
script where the action begins to gain momentum and people begin to suspect
multiple issues. Was it a premeditated murder of a shady businessman or a crime
of passion committed in the spur of the moment?
With this thought wreaking
havoc in audience, Akshay Kumar playing the lead role of the naval commander
and interestingly who projects a slight shade of a spurned lover in the first
half begins to appear cool, calm and collected during his own trial. This
transition baffles the viewers.
Rustom is a man who shows that honour of a lady
conquers all animalistic emotions of could-be violence on spouse. The movie is
not merely an entertainer for box office collections but a flick with a moral
message for men in the contemporary era. Even when, Akshay Kumar gets to know
of his wife’s indiscretion, he stands before her with pain in his gaunt but
refuses to lift a finger on her character.
He repeats his gentleman-like
gesture when he refuses to hire a lawyer for himself because he could not smear
his wife’s character to defend his own. In a nutshell, the movie is not just
about the intent of a gallant naval officer but about the undaunted values
inherent in the Indian Navy.
