Rustom Reviews

The uniform might be the most accurate thing about this film, however, a painfully tacky production where all the sets look like over-saturated cardboard and all the taxicabs are gleaming.

the naval officer may have wielded the gun that caused the fellow to die, but he is no murderer: how can Akshay the Hero be a weak killer?

The film is brave enough to give us a man who is so evolved that he understands and forgives his errant wife. But instead of exploring the dynamics of this, we get lost in heroism, corruption and courtroom dramatics.

Akshay Kumar impresses but the movie has its issues...His nuanced characterisation and flawless body language save the film which otherwise could have gone horribly wrong.

Overall, given the subject, Rustom could have been more taut and thrilling, but, Akshay Kumar makes it worth watching.

A fictionalised version of the famous (or the infamous?) Nanavati case where a Naval officer shot his wife's lover should have been a brilliant courtroom drama, but ends up being ridiculous, with the director opting for cheap…

They are the sole bright spots in Rustom, which is too long, wholly disappointing, and feels like an opportunity lost.

The problem with Rustom lies in its twists too. You can put your finger on them much before the twists actually play out in front of you, something which is fatal for a 'crime thriller'.

Rustom is not a bad film in essence, however a little more conviction in the narrative could have made it one of the best courtroom dramas of all time.

Rustom is not a bad film in essence, however a little more conviction in the narrative could have made it one of the best courtroom dramas of all time.

Rustom despite having an interesting plot tries to play safe, please everyone and resorts to Bollywood formulae of forced humour and even more forced insipid songs.

Not interested in exploring the frailties that the flesh is heir to, Rustom opts for a facile and melodramatic approach to the 1959 murder case.

Alas, all of that drama is reduced to a farce in Rustom, which frankly is about as enjoyable as a toothache.

Decent Thriller Bogged Down by Weak Script...

Yet another Bollywoodification of a real life story: Read RJ Stutee’s review of ‘Rustom’.

What could have been an interesting premise and a nick at the seemingly utopian nature of suburban marriages disintegrates into a film that focuses on celebrating the hero, played by Kumar.

This one's worth a watch only for Akshay Kumar. But if you're looking for laughs, Esha Gupta could help too.

Rustom is an strange mix of funny and dull but it is never as gluing one would've hoped.

'Rustom' should have either been a taut mystery where the tension is palpable or a love story where the heartbreak and the betrayal are tangible. Sadly, this does neither.

A great deal of attention has been paid to the detailing and production values, and thats commendable, and so is the direction Rustom is worth a watch for Akshay Kumars sake

Though Akshay Kuamr fans will be awed and the theatres especially the single screen may burst with taalis and citis (claps and whistles), the thinking audience may wonder the need for the exercise to make Rustom Pavri so noble.

The movie employs a lot of CGI to recreate an authentic period feel. That coupled with the entertainment value does make Rustom a decent watch.

It's not a serious movie; there is definitely 'masala' in this suspense thriller. The movie will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Lift your spirits on this Independence Day with Rustom!

Thoroughly absorbing and surprisingly entertaining., check it out.

Rustom is a compelling courtroom drama, something which will help Akshay Kumar in his upcoming Jolly LLB 2 where he will be playing a lawyer. Akshay Kumar has truly delivered an award-winning and nuanced performance.

Tinu has made 'Rustom' more thrilling and interesting by keeping it on the track and not adding any unneeded garnishing. Without-a-doubt, the film will make you switch sides.

After Special 26, and Baby, this is possibly Akshays most honest act.

Rustom claims itself to be a work of fiction and hence glamorizes Rustoms character overtly. His character seems too angelic. Watch or Not?: Yes! Rustom is recommendable for a weekend watch.

Rustom (Akshay Kumar) can’t keep his hands off his wife Cynthia (Ileana D’Cruz), but work commitments send him on a six month trip.

'Rustom' closely mirrors the Nanavati case but fails to capture its complexities

Akshay Kumar's Rustom is too one-sided a courtroom drama to thrill with the hero apparently in control of one and all, writes Deepa Gauri
