Critic reviews and ratings

  • For the most part, the directors keep you engaged.

    Critic rating (?)

  • The tone of the film keeps shifting between funny, serious, confusion and finally, almost like a Guy Ritchie film, ties up in the last few moments, with aplomb.

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...this offering which packs in comedy, action and everything else, yet doesn't entirely fit into the 'masala' construct. Managing this is a feat in itself.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • This outlandish action comedy draws its kicks from slick action and quirky dialogue.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...is definitely an entertaining film which has its own set of loopholes but they can be easily overlooked.

    59

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...Raj and DK have managed to narrate the plain and full-of-cliches story in their own quirky style and their dialogues and the screenplay make it fun to watch.

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...the film's main problem is in its predictability.

    49

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...despite the clunky plotting, A Gentleman never becomes a crashing bore. Credit must go to Sidharth Malhotra, who is in almost every frame.

    49

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...surprises audience with the developments in the first half but the film goes downhill in the second half completely.

    49

    Critic rating (?)

  • Comedy, action, romance – An above average entertainer in each of those elements. But, put together it becomes just about average.

    49

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...makes for an entertaining watch. If a not-too-serious, masala film is your ideal weekend watch, then this film does not disappoint.

    49

    Critic rating (?)

  • By the truly dismal standards of Indian action comedies, A Gentleman is a middling offender—but what does that even mean?

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...is unable to overcome its derivative cool and come up with new ways of reimagining the action comedy.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...is a pileup of little ideas gone haywire. They could have done with more breathing room.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • I miss the Raj & DK of Go, Goa, Gone, and their films where gags come flying your way fast and quick. There was a threadbare plot in that one too, but at least it was clever. This is just a snoozefest, all the way.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...we also wish that there was some more comic-book energy in the plot, which keeps sliding and slowing. That’s the only way spoofs can remain spiffy, and worthy of our complete attention.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...is a stylishly packed action drama which is attractive but not enough to make you fall in love.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • It wants to be a plush action drama, but evidently lacks resources, so settles at being a haphazardly shot ambitious film.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...is an assumed piece of filmmaking, where the small-concerns-interrupting-big-moments kind of humour doesn't quite fit the slapdash setting.

    29

    Critic rating (?)

  • It’s a harebrained set-up and over the next 132 minutes, the makers manage to offend everyone from gays, to African-Americans, to fat people, and just about anyone with a modicum of taste and common sense.

    29

    Critic rating (?)

  • Good directors are allowed to make bad movies, but with Happy Ending and, now, A Gentleman, Raj and DK have ventured into a peculiar place: they’re making bland movies. There’s no personality, only empty professionalism.
