Review
Though the climax has been smartly fictionalised, this courtroom drama is essentially based on the real life of Naval officer KM Nanavati, who in 1959, shot and killed his wife's lover. The subsequent trial was one of India's most sensational court cases.

Akshay for putting his heart and soul into the character. From his behaviour to body language, from the way he talks and stands in the film, every sequence of his is worth clapping. Ileana, on the other side, stuck to her character throughout the film and did a good job. Esha Gupta, who shares a very minute screen space in the film, did an average job in her negative character.

However, Rustom lacks the unnerving tension exuded by well made courtroom dramas like A Few Good Men (1992). It is not the gripping thriller one expects it to be, given the controversial case it's based on. It tries to unfold like a whodunnit, and falters in its execution.
