My Gut Feel and
comments:
Tinu Suresh Desai
debuted as director with a horror film 1920 London which was a below
average film and was a flop at box office indeed. However with Rustom he
seems to have got his act right this time.
Film promo is
impressive and it looks like that creative team has managed to pull out an
entertainer. Akshay Kumar is looking dashing and seems doing justice to offered
role.
Akshay Kumar is a
salable performer who works on moderate budget movies with decent content which
increases the chance of box office success. Although Film is releasing along
with “Mohenjo Daro” however with extended weekend due to national
holiday of 15th August higher a chance that movie sale through reasonably well
at box office. In recent time Akshay’s films like Special 26 and Baby
were sincere efforts from his side with great entertainment value. As Rustom
belongs to same banner chances of going it wrong drastically is negligible.
Going by my gut feeling I am giving Rustom 3.5 stars out of
5, five days before the release.
