A Gentleman Box Office Collection Day 7: Sidharth Malhotra And Jacqueline Fernandez's Film Earns Rs 19.82 Crore

New Delhi: A Gentleman, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez, has completed a week at the box office and has managed to collect Rs 19.82 crore so far, reported trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The film, directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, opened to poor reviews from the audience and the critics on August 25. On its opening day, A Gentleman earned Rs 4.04 crore and its collection remained moderate through the week. "Fri 4.04 cr, Sat 4.36 cr, Sun 4.73 cr, Mon 2.03 cr, Tue 1.60 cr, Wed 1.71 cr, Thu 1.35 cr. Total: 19.82 cr. India biz. FLOP," tweeted Mr Adarsh. In A Gentleman, Sidharth Malhotra features in a dual role - sunder and susheel Gaurav and the risky Rishi. Jacqueline features as Kavya.

A Gentleman also features Darshan Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Supriya Pilgaonkar and Rajit Kapur in pivotal roles.

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "A Gentleman: Sundar. Susheel. Risky is yet another film that believes that a patina of gloss is all that is needed in order to paper over mounds of dross."

"What stands out in bold relief at end of the 132-minute film is leading man's failure to convey the distinction between being Mr. Nice Guy (Gaurav, in corporate attire) and living the thug life (Rishi, with a hint of a beard), the two separate personas that he inhabits. The fault isn't of course entirely his: the screenplay is far too frisky and frothy to be able work on the body language nuances of the male protagonist as he moves back and forth between his two contradictory identities," Mr Chatterjee added.

A Gentleman clashed at the box office with Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Babumoshai Bandookbaaz. This week Sidharth and Jacqueline's film has been joined by Ajay Devgn's Baadshaho and Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar's Shubh Mangal Saavdhan.
