Rustom is a 2016 Indian crime thriller film written by Vipul K Rawal,directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and produced by Neeraj Pandey.It features Akshay Kumar,Ileana D'Cruz,Arjan Bajwa and Esha Gupta in the lead roles. Vikram's sister Priti Makhija (Esha Gupta) hires the best lawyer in the city Lakshman Khangani (Sachin Khedekar) to get Rustom toughest punishment possible. A local newspaper TRUTH publishes the news adding some spice to it, which creates a stir in the city. On the one side the Navy supports its officer and asks police to hand over his custody while on the other side the Parsi community offers help by hiring a good defense lawyer. Rustom refuses everybody's help and decides to fight the case on his own. While the Editor in Chief of Truth, Eraj Billimoria (Kumud Mishra), creates a sympathetic image for Rustom in public, Rustom's senior Navy officer Prashant Kamat (Parmeet Sethi) sends two goons to his house to search for a set of documents, but they fail to find anything. Scared, Cynthia rushes to jail to inform Rustom, who hasn't talked to her. Rustom finally meets and listens to Cynthia's story, about how she was lonely and upset when Rustom went away to London for many months. Vikram took advantage of her loneliness and Cynthia fell for him, but on the day of Vikram's murder Cynthia had already broken-up with him for the sake of their marriage. On Rustom's instructions, Cynthia blackmails Prashant Kamat for 5 crore rupees in exchange for the documents he needed. In the court hearing, Rustom unexpectedly pleads not guilty in front of the judge, which leads to a jury trial. The crux of the case is whether Commander Rustom shot Vikram in "self-defense" or whether it was premeditated murder. At the culmination of the trial, Rustom is found not guilty and is freed. Rustom reconciles with Cynthia.
