Rustom is a film based on the true story of naval officer K M Nanavati and the case of 1959 that involved the murder of his wife’s secret lover. The film was a brilliant take on extra-marital affairs and relationships in the armed forces.
Bollywood Garam takes this opportunity to congratulate Akshay Kumar for his big win. Looking forward to other award-worthy performances by the star!
