Arjan Bajwa plays the sleazy rich playboy quite convincingly while Esha Gupta's attempt at being a vixen is simply acceptable. The underrated Pawan Malhotra brings the sincerity and composure that come so natural with his performances and it's great to see him in a meatier role. Anang Desai was an unusual choice to play the Judge but it brought levity to what would have otherwise been a pretty serious court trial. In the courtroom, Sachin Khedekar leans mostly on the comic side with most of his serious accusations falling flat. With barely 2 minutes of action, the majority of his screenplay was with him either listening to accusations and narrations or arguing in his defense.

With the plot revolving around its protagonist, Akshay Kumar beams in the spotlight in his impeccably white uniform. There is also a secret concerning national security that will put the pieces of the puzzle together. As the courtroom drama unfolds, truth hinges on perceptions and fabrication that lead to both comedy and tension. Popular sentiment would play a major role in the judicial system which was then based on the jury's vote. While most saw the murderous act as just punishment for Vikram, others would claim that murder is afterall a crime. The investigators, the city's citizens and the entire nation were embroiled in this sensational case that threatened to stain the patriotic image of a naval officer. Citizens pick their sides with Preeti Makhija hiring the best Sindhi lawyer (Sachin Khedekar) to prosecute the accused while the Parsi community, including a local newspaper's editor, rally behind Rustom's defense of himself. Vincent Lobo (Pawan Malhotra) is the investigating officer, who suspects that there is something amiss about the truth that is in front of him. Vikram is shot 3 times in his room with Rustom subsequently surrendering himself to the Police. One, to pick up a pistol from the ship's armory and two, to make a trunk call to Delhi.

The following morning, Rustom confronts Cynthia and immediately heads over to Vikram's house before making two crucial stops. His concern turns to suspicion and his instinct leads him to Vikram's home where he sees his wife cheating on him.

Upon his early return from a deployment, Rustom is surprised to find an empty home and soon discovers that Cynthia (Illeana D'Cruz) has been gone for 2 days. Prolonged periods of absence on official duty brought Officer Rustom Pavri's (Akshay Kumar) wife closer to Preeti (Esha Gupta) and her brother Vikram (Arjan Bajwa). 'Rustom' is a fictional account of the famous Nanavati v/s State of Maharashtra case that delivers justice in quite an entertaining manner. For the most part, he deviates from the actual happenings, thus setting the stage for Akshay Kumar to emerge as the nation's most patriotic hero. Director Tinu Suresh Desai uses a lot of dramatic freedom to keep the general audience engaged in the trial's proceedings. The patriotic purity of a naval officer's white uniform was stained with blood but people didn't seem to care.
