You smell a rat right away. It’s at the entry of the naval officer hero Rustom Pavri ( Akshay Kumar) framed against the tricolour fluttering away in the background. Director Tinu Suresh Desai reinterprets the ( in) famous K.M. Nanavati case of yore and builds.
A popular conspiracy theory around it in the spirit of today’s uber-patriotic times, quite conveniently at that. Kumar, plays the Nanavati figure while Ileana D’ Cruz is Cynthia ( the philandering Sylvia from real life) and Arjun Bajwa plays Vikram Makhija ( the playboy Prem Ahuja).
