The Gentleman is a 1994 Indian Hindi-language vigilante action film directed by Mahesh Bhatt and produced by Allu Aravind, starring Chiranjeevi, Juhi Chawla, Harish Kumar and Paresh Rawal. It is a remake of the Tamil film Gentleman (1993). Three of the songs were re-used without any change in tune or instrumentation, from A. R. Rahman's original compositions for the original Tamil version. It was not commercially successful.

Plot

Vijay (Chiranjeevi) owns a little agarbatthi making business. When he is not busy with this, he is a master thief who steals crores and crores of money in order to build and run a school where students can study freely to become doctors, lawyers, etc. The police, led by Inspector (Paresh Rawal), are always on his tail, but he is ever elusive. Finally, he is identified as the thief and is then confronted by Roshni (Juhi Chawla), who loves him. He tells her what his intentions are and how his brother Ajay Shrivaastav (Harish Kumar), committed suicide along with his mother because he could not pay the donations for medical school. Vijay is finally caught and convicted and when he is released from prison, his dream school opens. He marries Roshni, who has waited for him for a long time.

Cast

Production

The Gentleman was a remake of the Tamil film Gentleman (1993), and it till date remains the last Hindi movie of Chiranjeevi.

Soundtrack

Anu Malik was credited as the composer, though except for one composition, every other track was sourced from Southern hits, predominantly A. R. Rahman's soundtrack for the film's original Tamil version, for instance, the song "Roop Suhana Lagta Hai" was taken from "Ottagathai Kattiko", while "Chik Pika Rika Boom Bole" was taken from "Chiku Buku Raile".

The song "Jhoom Ke Dil Ne" (which is on the soundtrack but not picturised in the film) is the Hindi version of the Telugu song "Jummani Tummeda" from Mechanic Alludu, featuring music by Raj–Koti.
