Gaurav is on a mission to settle down. He is in the process of trying to charm Kavya into creating life with him and getting married. However, Kavya dreads the thought of taking the plunge and settling down. Her only wish is that her "sundar susheel" gentleman lives life to the full, with a little more risk and excitement. However, things take an interesting twist when an assignment takes Gaurav to Mumbai. Gaurav, a simple hard working guy for a white collar job visits Mumbai for a meeting where his doppelganger is about to bring chaos in his life. In my book, no movie deserves a 1-star rating, especially this one.<br/><br/>To be honest, I haven't written a review for any movie prior to this. Didn't need to because there was always a fair assessment of a movie on IMDb. You know, two sides to the coin and all that jazz. Not in this case, unfortunately. <br/><br/>Looking at all the concerted click farm 1-star ratings, I wondered how could my experience of watching the movie be so out of step with these so-called user reviews. <br/><br/>Some of these reviewers claim that they hate the actors (Siddharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez) to the core. Now, I can't for the life of me understand why on earth would you go and watch a film that stars the exact same actors? <br/><br/>Well, I got my answers after a little digging into the profiles of these 'good Samaritans', whose only goal in life seems to be to save your time and money from watching (not all bad movies, mind you!) this particularly bad movie, and who were offended so much by the movie that they decided to join IMDb for the first time only days after the movie's release and save you from the 'hell' they went through. If only, we cared so much about each other, the world really would be an amazing place indeed. <br/><br/>As for my own experience of watching the movie, I thought that the movie sets itself up for a mammoth task of mixing two radically diverse genres - action and comedy. There is always an element of risk associated with these kinds of movies and expecting mixed results is part of the unspoken deal. But directors Raj and DK did a fine job in balancing this tone very effectively throughout the movie. Their unapologetic approach to filmmaking, coupled with their wacky sense of humor, bodes well for the duo in subverting the two genres and making it a wholesome entertainer. <br/><br/>My only criticism would be the inclusion of songs. (This is my qualm with every other movie which has songs in it!). While the songs were a great listen outside of the movie, they did little to help move the narrative of the film. Their exclusion could have also helped cut down the slightly longer run time of the film.<br/><br/>I won't tell you to go watch the movie. Because it's not really my place to do so. No one need tell us what we are supposed to do. I'm merely sharing my experience of watching A Gentleman. If you do happen to watch it, please share your experience too. <br/><br/>Unlike some, we may not make the world a better place, but we can at least try to make it fair. 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.
