Rustom

Rustom Pavri (Akshay Kumar), an honourable officer of the Indian Navy returns home from the sea before schedule. He yearns to see his wife wife Cynthia (Ileana) but is surprised to not have her at home. Their maid informs him that she's not been home for two days. Rustom calls up his friend Preeti (Esha Gupta) to enquire about Cynthia but she says she's not aware of her whereabouts. Commander Pavri also calls up Preeti's brother Vikram (Arjan Bajwa) but his servant says he is not at home. Rustom goes through Cynthia's things to discover hidden love letters exchanged with a certain MR V. He goes over to Vikram's home to spot Cynthia and Vikram together. Cynthia admits to her infidelity and breaks down in tears. A shocked Rustom leaves immediately to meet Vikram. He loads a pistol and collects it from the ship before confronting him. He shoots Vikram thrice before surrendering himself to police. He admits to the crime and refuses naval custody, even a defence lawyer to fight his case. He pleads not guilty and says he will fight his own case. Preeti wants Rustom punished for killing her brother. The Parsi community, including an editor of a tabloid come together to support Rustom, who is a decorated officer of the navy. The jury trail begins and the prosecution tries to prove that Vikram's death was a premeditated murder and not a heat of the moment incident. Rustom claims that he had a scuffle with Vikram after confronting him and he shot him to defend himself. Meanwhile, a few naval officers want Rustom to handover some confidential papers to them. Cynthia meets Rustom's senior and asks for Rs 5 crore if they seek the papers. The officer agrees and hands her over the cheque. Rustom almost proves himself not guilty as there's no solid evidence against him. The investigating officer however finds a tape which confirms that Rustom had vowed to kill Vikram. He presents the tape in court and knows he may have swayed the jury's decision. But back in the prison, Rustom confesses to the cop that he did plan Vikram's murder because he was involved in a scam that threatened national security. He wanted Rustom to clear the inspection of a damaged plane carrier, which Rustom refused to. He warns his fellow corrupt officers to not buy the carrier else he will make his report public. He shoots Vikram after he says he doesn't love Cynthia and won't marry every woman he sleeps with. The court has no proof of this or the scam whatsoever. Rustom is acquitted by the jury amidst the public support and his clean reputation.
