Gentleman directed by the Mohan Krishna Indraganti, who already helmed the *well-received* Astha Chamma, Golconda High School & few other films. He succeeded as good storyteller before Gentleman & tried so hard to impress the audience with twists & turns in this one. Story of gentleman is one plot: how the wrong doings of one guy changed the lives of others. The movie opens with discussion of Ishwarya (Surabhi) & Catherine (Niveda Thomas) abt their personal life & how they fall in love with their boyfriend. By end of the first half we came to know that their bfs is/are Nani. Then we see some not so interesting twists & turns. The movie is trying to be as fascinating as possible but poor screenplay & silly moments make it bad. Most of the film is very slick sometimes. Nani is not only Natural Star but also most consistent in Tollywood. Delivered one more good performance with ease. He is very picky abt roles & succeeds every time. Nivetha T

Trivikram Srinivas' AAa..is bitter-sweet flick which has all the elements of regular Trivikram film but offers nothing new in terms of story. In fact, this is what you get when you put together  Attarintiki Daredi & Son of Satyamurthy. As a big fan of Trivikram Srinivas, I'm not satisfied at all. Quite repetitive stuff from Trivikram. He is not doing any experiment with script these days. Just playing it safe. The style of filmmaking wasn't good. This is not the kind of stuff I'm expecting from Trivikram. His earlier works are much better than what's he making now. This is not the same Trivikram I cheered for when I watched Athadu. This is not the style of filmmaking I'm craving from Trivikram.
