while audience in India will have to wait for a few hours to watch the highly talked about movie ‘Rustom’, few cine buffs have already seen it abroad. The first reviews of the movie are amazing and seem that the team of ‘Rustom’ has struck the right chord with viewers.
Based on the infamous 1959 K.M Nanavati case vs The State
of Maharashtra case, Rustom features Akshay Kumar in the role of a
naval commander. Rustom is tried for the murder of his wife’s lover and his wit
of proving himself innocent makes for the crux of the movie.
Early reviews suggest at the brilliance that the director
Tinu Suresh Desai is. Viewers have really appreciated his work in which he
tells the tale of an explosive topic with subtlety. Tinu has apparently done a
great job in portraying the courtroom drama making this thriller a must watch.
Viewers also are finding it difficult to not sing praises
for Akshay. His portrayal o an honest officer who sticks with the prosecution
throughout the case impressed the viewers.
The one drawback of this perfect movie comes with the
supporting cast. Viewers did not seem quite happy with either of the
performances of Esha Gupta, Ileana D’Cruz or Arjhan Bajwa (the casanova lover
Akshay kills). These actors, some say, do a great job at bringing the movie
down.
Looks like Akshay Kumar has caught on a recent
fascination for movies which revolve around incidents that ardently belong to
the political thriller genre. The recent Rustom is the newest addition to this
collection. Does it manage to keep us at the edge of our seats? Read on to find
out.
Rustom is a story of how 3 shots fired set the wheel in motion for an incident that will affect the life of a naval officer. Cruising along these lines the story packs elements of mystery, suspense and a fair deal of thrill.
Rustom begins with a small sequence that is an ode to the life of navy men. But with no further ado it jumps into the story and gets the plot running. Taking up a well-acquainted courtroom thriller template the director brings in his touch by treating this like an old gift that slowly unwraps itself. He adds a few lighter moments here and there to gain a few chuckles but they do not work any wonders. No doubt it has a promising screenplay but we wish it was subject to refined execution. But we tip our hat to the editor. One of those rare instances where the editing is so slick that the jumps between different sequences are smooth.
The cast do their jobs well enough. Akshay Kumar takes charge after the interlude. Ileana is apt and manage to convey what she is required to. The music directors have made their presence felt with songs that are hum-worthy. The BGM is a good addition to the movie and gets certain sequences to sail smoothly.
The visuals do disappoint though and in many cases it’s quite plainly evident that the backdrop premise is an erected set. We do get the retro feel but it is artificial and we wish it was natural. Although a few shots do show the potential of the DOP, it gets lost due to the look of the premise. Similarly few cliché elements seem to have been lifted from the old textbook (Like “How to prolong the suspense of a scene”). But overall, the director has given us a product that somehow manages to be a decent watch.
Verdict: Verdict: A decent watch that suffers from sets that give an artificial cardboard feel.
