There's patriot enthusiasm and patriotism running directly through this true to life elucidation of the shameful Nanavati murder case that shook the country in the 1950s. 

You notice a rodent immediately. It's at the passage of the maritime officer saint Rustom Pavri (Akshay Kumar) encircled against the tricolor vacillating endlessly out of sight. Chief Tinu Suresh Desai reinterprets the (in)famous K.M. Nanavati instance of yore and fabricates a well known fear inspired notion around it in the soul of today's uber-devoted times, helpfully at that. Kumar, plays the Nanavati figure while Ileana D' Cruz is Cynthia (the philandering Sylvia from genuine living) and Arjun Bajwa plays Vikram Makhija (the playboy Prem Ahuja). 

"Kuchh to hai jo pakad mein nahin aa raha hai (There is something that one can't make sense of)," says the exploring cop Vincent Lobo (Pavan Malhotra) sooner or later. Notwithstanding, any hardly shrewd viewer would know where things are heading. Despite the fact that, the film itself deliberately tries to overplay the amount more there is to this apparently basic, simple situation of treachery, desire and requital. 

Disregard that there is nothing remotely believable or taking part in the thriller. The film, truth be told, feels like a satire of the few homicide riddles and court shows we have seen down the ages. What's more, an unexpectedly interesting one at that. A few minutes in the second half are really invaluable, particularly those that are to do with an orange robe and an unstably held white towel that declines to descend the abdomen. 

Be that as it may, also aggravating is the exemplary nature ascribed to the executioner hero – a righteous Kumar, directly down to the unctuous mustache and straight spine; then the obvious blame, lastingly slanted head of Ileana and the discussion of putting the Queen in question in the round of chess, for an inevitable win. Add to that the "desh ki raksha/hifazat" edge and the one-two punch of machismo of the Navy man—in the guide of the country and the lady—and it gets far excessively pompous for solace. Kumar wrests the ethical high ground, as a man, a spouse and an abundantly enlivened officer. Also, the janta supports. 

There is the steady bothering making the best choice the wrong way. Everything comes down to a battle circumstance, self protection, reflex activity and 'regular folks ka vishwas'. In the long run, a kangaroo court acts the hero however not before transforming the film into absolute hotchpotch of a story. 

In only a couple of scenes there is the temporary notice of grating between the Sindhi people group to which the casualty has a place and the Parsis and you think about whether the film is attempting to graph a fascinating, provocative landscape. Be that as it may, it never gets to be much else besides a minor notice. Add to that, some strident, foreboding music that continues playing out of sight to keep up the strain and tension when there is very. 

D' Cruz is by all accounts experiencing an awful instance of cosmetics with the shade of pink releasing everywhere throughout the face. On the other hand is it the shade of disgrace? The characters as an afterthought are rendered cartoon like, characterized by peculiarities. So you have Pavan Malhotra as the cop Vincent Lobo with his high-waisted trousers and disturbing propensity for clicking without end the ballpen. At that point there is Anang Desai as the judge who acts like a school foremost. Desai looks as though he veered into the court straight from the arrangements of the TV serial Khichdi where he played the bad tempered patriarch. Esha Gupta with her cigarette holders, outfits and perpetually sharp look is assembled to the point that she just appears to go into disrepair. What's more, Sachin Khedekar goes on an acting overdrive as the arraigning legal counselor. 

The period amusement of 1959 Bombay feels like a tasteless, awful duplicate of the city that Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet made. Every edge shouts retro, needs you to see the bouffant hair, the silk outfits, the vintage autos and radio sets. 

Truth be told, I thought about whether it wouldn't have been exceptional for the film to have been redesigned for contemporary times. An a valid example being, the newspaper furor and trial by media unspooled by Rusi Karanjia's Blitz (Kumud Mishra as Eruch Billimoria) in the film versus the present where – things are significantly more in your face. Likewise, stealthy undertakings of the heart could have had an additional edge of difficulty in the cell telephone ruled times that we live in.
