A Gentleman was at first talked about as a sequel to Bang Bang. It isn’t really, but it’s very similar in the tone and feel. Which means that I liked it a lot.
Siddharth Malhotra is great in the action scenes. And I loved his dorky persona, too. Lots of inside jokes about Desis in America. The fight sequence in the middle of Home Depot cracked me up.
Jacqueline Fernandez is great at comedy. I gained new respect for her from this film. She also had a great American accent. She doesn’t really get a big dance number, but she pole dances (!!!) in a song sequence at a karaoke bar.
Jacqueline had great chemistry with Siddharth. She’s got Guarav in the friendzone, and then is attracted to the exciting dangerous Rishi.
Basically if you like films like Mr. and Mrs. Smith and True Lies, you’re going to like this film. A Gentleman is just a fun action comedy.
