Gentleman is a 1993 Tamil vigilante-heist film written and directed by S. Shankar marking his debut and produced by K. T. Kunjumon. It stars Arjun and Madhoo in the lead roles. The film's music (score and soundtrack) is composed by A. R. Rahman, and it was very well received upon release. The choreography in the film was also viewed as a highlight. This high-budget production won positive reviews and became a blockbuster at the box office. The film was remade in Hindi as The Gentleman in 1994 by Mahesh Bhatt starring Chiranjeevi.
In Ooty, unknown men (Arjun & Goundamani) perform a swashbuckling heist of money of several crores while being in disguise diverting the attention of police, and escape in Nilgiri toy train, much to the frustration of a chasing police officer Ratnam (Ajay Rathnam).
Meanwhile, in Chennai, Krishnamoorthy alias Kicha (Arjun) is a respected citizen who runs a home-based appalam business along with Mani (Goundamani). Susheela (Madhoo), one of Kicha's many female employees, has a crush on Kicha and is constantly demanding his attention. Adding to her woes, the arrival of her jovial cousin Sugandhi (Subhashri), who makes the place so lively and playful with silly fights between Mani and Babloo (Senthil). Sugandhi later develops a crush on Kicha, especially after being saved by him from some molesting goons. But Kicha reveals to her that he has no such feelings for her and wants her to find a suitable mate. Before leaving Chennai, Sugandhi steals Kicha's ring as a souvenir.
