After the weeks tiring ordeal of Internet hackers and annoying lecturers i finally sat down to watch a Tamil movie. Now this was a movie i had seen before in my childhood ( you know when i was decent and innocent) and nostalgia drove me to it once again... OK wait, why am i justifying my watching this movie. Anyway moving on...
Gentleman
(Act one)
Scene one: Some loser politician yakking on the mike. Sudden sound of some firing. Widespread panic. People protecting their "veshties" and what lies underneath. Chaos all around. Too much noise. *zoom in* hero dude's face covered in some black cloth (@ anti southie racists: it was in fact a black cloth and not his face, i checked).
Scene Two: Some lonely road. A lot of disguises and drama. our black cloth hero dude swindles 100 crore or something( in 500 rupee notes carried in one police jeep protected by constables and one "i have a body but its useless except for conjugal purposes" inspector.
Later that day they meet at the police headquarters where one politician (holding his lungi up so high his patterned inner wear is clearly visible) spits on the Chennai police (quite literally.. alas! the insult). Anti hero police guy resolves to catch this robin hood anti villain type guy.
Note:The distinction of hero and villain have not been made clear. Blasphemy for a Tamil movie.
Scene 3: *zoom in*. A board that reads "kichas appalam" is visible along with a dirty blue cloth wiping it. This is in fact the heroine's davani (read weird part of a half sari) which after the wiping she intentionally gets stuck on the hook of the board. One may think for hygiene purposes but actually for seducing the hero. Alas! while our hero jumps to retrieve it he closes his eyes. *ego demolisher*.
Scene 4: Various insights about the dacoity hero's parallel life as a papad maker and the heroines desperate attempt to seduce him.
Enters supporting actor in a female role read loser from Delhi who considers feeling up everyone from auto men to the hero part of the cults Delhi culture. Insignificant exit of role supporter chic after ample skin show and unsuccessful rape which is surprisingly not initiated by her. Hero also finally discovers "eroines" undying love (finally!) but rejects her petition(which ironically she presented in an applam).. awwwwwww!
Gentlemen(we still don't know who the title is referring to)
Act II
Scene 1: Location: Somewhere in Delhi, but actually shot in nugampakam after a glance of the gateway.
Side kick actress getting married. Ironically to the police man who is after our hero guy. After a lot of cat chase hero is discovered to be anti villain (or something like that). Heroine crushed that her super awesome crush is a robber type. Confronts him and threatens to burn herself(women!).
Scene 2(the flashback): Hero guy does get medical seat due to bureaucracy. Mum burns self, he becomes dacoit. Starts building educational institution which has everything from pre kg to diploma courses.
This scene brings out the originality in the story.
Scene 3: After some more cat chase hero brought to the court. Makes passionate speeches about the country's sad political state, nothing we have not already heard in a ton his other movies. Judge not impressed, sentences him to 6 years imprisonment (after all the efforts to catch him). lets the politician free.
Stud moment: He gets his lawyer to do paper work thilu mulu and somehow makes dacoity educational institution as a public trust.
Stud moment 2: Public spirited youth runs cycle over politician's car causing it to explode(side advertisement for the cycle). *zoom in*, heart of PS II, Head of politician and tears of hero.
Scene 4(the climax): Six Years Later
Super school is somehow complete. Red ribbons are cut. Hero finally gives up and accepts heroines "subtle" advances.
The End
Highlights: Ample opportunity to lust after the hotness of Tamil Nadu, action hero Arjun.
