RUSTOM

Akshay Kumar's acting was always larger than life, even when he was not as good-looking as now and like old wine, he's just getting better with age. He is so skilled in everything that all other actors fade away and the entire spotlight rests on him. In Rustom too, Akshay didn't have to make much of an effort to look good, or act or make his presence felt amply. A 4.5 out of 5 for him. 

The story though riveting could have had better sets than designing it like a barbie-doll's tea party. The lighting was too harsh; I am contemplating that with a romantic period film like Rustom, the director could have thought of playing it low-key with the lights. However tacky it might be, the film did well only for Akshay. I should say a 4 out of 5!
