A Gentleman joins the list of major disasters over the past couple of years like Bombay Velvet, Rock On 2, Raabta etc with business of just 16.75 crore nett in its first week. There is hardly any business to come after the first week and even 20 crore nett looks impossible for the film to reach. The audience is being ruthless to any Hindi film today that has its germs in Europe or Hollywood and A Gentleman has its germs in the latter. The title has also not been kind with three films of the same name flopping badly over the last 30 years. Gentleman (1989) with Govinda, Gentleman (1994) with South star Chiranjeevi and now A Gentleman in 2016.




Babumoshai Bandookbaaz has also fared very poorly with business of 6.25 crore nett in its first week. The opened poorly and could not even trend over the weekend as collections remained flat which meant the weekdays were also going to tough and that is how it turned out. The film does not have much of a budget so even business of 11-12 crore nett would have seen it through but that is impossible after such a low first week as second week will hardly see any business.

The other release Qaidi Band and Sniff were also disasters with the former not managing to reach 50 lakhs nett and the latter falling short of 1 crore nett.

Again congratulations to the audience for rejecting crap this year. Eevry crap movie with bad acting failed this year.

This movie looked flop from thebtrailer itself. Sid and Jackline are bad actors to save a bad film. Sid needs to take a break, think about the movies he wants to do.

Haha, I did manage to convince myself to watch it.
And ran out of the hall when the interval bell rang hard.
That means I didn't even complete the goddamn movie .
So giving a review would be unfair
But still I will give one 🤣
Well, I know the story is a copy but it's not bad at all.
The main problem of this film is its ..well, humour
I know it's suppose to be a parody film but to be honest, the writers have punctured it all up when it comes to being funny.
Raj and DK could do better than this.
Another bug is the choice of lead actors.
Neither Jacqueline nor Siddharth Malhotra are bankable stars.
Yeah, they do have hits, but mostly with other people.
Are they themselves marketable?
No.
Neither these 2 can act nor they have the charm
Clubbing these 2 stone statues for a movie would have already signalled disasters for the makers.
And that too a funny parody spy flick.
Seriously?
Jacqueline and Siddharth have very little, If any, sense of comic timing
Whose idea it was 2 club these 2 together?
Well, I really don't mind Jacqueline but who the hell thought about casting Siddharth?
This Sid has been in the industry for over 5 years, has got the best films (content wise) on his platter but still can't act to save his life.
Okay, in SOTY he couldn't act, but when one has got the opportunity to star in films like Ek Villain and Brothers, one expects him to improve .
Atleast a bit .
But yeh toh improve hi nahi ki.
Plus I feel Siddharth is really not a comedy actor.
At least he doesn't fit into the brand of comedy that Raj and DK wanted to market through this film
I seriously feel These 2 should've retained Vir Das as the lead in this film too
He was too good in the otherwise bakwaas Go, goa, fine
He has good comedy skills required for this film.
