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. While the citizens favored the celebrated naval officer who was accused of murdering his wife's illicit partner, the media's sensational coverage of the trial sent people into a frenzy that wouldn't even spare the jury's ability to deliver unbiased justice. The Nanavati case of 1959 affected several facets of a newly independent India.
