A Gentleman

A Gentleman is another recent mainstream Bollywood movie I enjoyed a great deal. When I booked the ticket all I had in mind was "Hey, it's made by the same guys that made 99 and Shor in the City". After I booked I remembered, "Hey, didn't they also make Go Goa Gone and Happy Ending? Crap!" On the face of it, there was nothing else remotely promising. And the first 20 odd min had me regretting my decision with its wobbly pacing and stale humor. But then the movie started coming together, running multiple plot strands that (without spoilers) converged with a skillful timeline swerve that will either have you pleased or scratching your head going "समझ में नहीं आया". After that the movie is a tight and racy action comedy that stays within formula but milks it well. And Siddharth Malhotra is genuinely good in his part, exuding both toughness and self-deprecating humor. I've never seen any previous film of his but he generally seems to be cast as a depressed romantic fool a lot of the time. But here he conveys the ass-kicking buffed up hunk without it ever dipping into smug douchebag territory. The action sequences are immensely well done (including a nice riff on a Mission Impossible style heist, that includes rappelling down a glass-fronted tower building) and brutal hand to hand combat never gets old. Also the humor offers a continuous counterpoint to the violence (Amit Mistry seems to be continuing his role of Kuber from 99).

Sadly, like Jagga Jasoos, this is another cool movie that seems to be starved of an audience and likely to fizzle out pronto. Cinema on a weekend night was about a quarter full.

The plot and execution are quite different from your usual action or comedy movies. The movie delivers both as an action movie as well as a comedy though the former is the dominant theme. If you are just looking for a comedy, then the action may be too much for you and comedy content perhaps not sufficient. But otherwise, it is definitely entertaining and worth watching. The movie rides on Siddharth Malhotra's shoulders and he delivers well.

The biggest asset of the movie is the plot and how it unfolds in through out of sequence chunks that you have to put together in your head. That adds to some fun but also makes it more complex. So it is easier if you are able to rewind and watch.

This movie has been directed very well with unpredictable turns. The subtle humour keeps you smiling. I am not in to much of the action films. Yet I enjoyed watching this movie. The music is good.The directors projected the characters well. And the cast did a good job. Jaquelin was good with her moves and her radiant energy. Overall, a very nice movie.

A Gentleman is a nice take on action comedies. The film has complete action with a pinch of humour and romance. Humour is quirky and light. and action sequences are done nicely. The chemistry between Sidharth Malhotra and jacquline is sizzling. At some point you don't understand certain things in the film but ultimately it turns out to be enjoyable. The film entirely relies on Sidharth Malhotra and he does justice to his role, to what he is given. I loved him especially in that pub scene. The best scene of the film!

The movie is awesome I give it full 10 The story was fantastic. Movie Location Miami, Bangkok,Mumbai was nice.the actor Sidharth Malhotra double character Gaurav and Rishi doubles the fun.in movie Rishi character is just awesome .well I think Bollywood got Indian James bond Sidharth Malhotra stunts all hand to action are fabulous. Well I think Sidharth Malhotra should do more action films like this .actress wise Jacqueline Fernandez really suits in this movie her sexiness ,hotnes action wise also she had given fantastic performance. Suniel Shetty he make come back from this movie his way of speaking his villain role I like it. And that comedy gang I can't say they all were so good.the songs of this movie was also good .well I liked the movie too much .I think whom ever have not seen this movie watch it guys. Well in social media Sidharth Malhotra is compared to Varun Dhawan I think Sidharth Malhotra is more better than Varun Dhawan. Varun Dhawan only do role of a flirtatious guy. Well I saw his movie he only do overacting.Well makers should make fresh sequel of this movie.
