The Xpose (2014) - Movie Review: The Xpose is a Vintage Musical Thriller Film starring Himesh Reshammiya and Honey Singh in lead roles. Film is directed by Ananth Narayan Mahadevan, Written by Himesh Reshammiya and Produced by Vipin Reshammiya.

There are movies which look good only as a trailer, and there are still others where even the trailer manages to drive you mind. You share those trailers repeatedly just because of how stupid they are and mentally promise yourself that you will not watch that movie even if someone pays you for it. We on the other hand, have to watch them so you guys don’t make the mistake of doing so.

Instead of "The Xposé,” the title 'WTF' would’ve been better suited. First of all, who in their right mind dedicates a 3 minute song to inverted colors? Unless you’re Coldplay, you will only look stupid doing it. The movie starts off with Irrfan Khan’s “Dum Maaro Dum” thriller style narration where he excruciatingly introduces all the characters. As if that wasn’t enough, you have to deal with Yo Yo Honey Singh’s painfully expression-less face. And what’s up with Honey Singh’s broken english? What’s with “Hollywood themed” Bollywood Awards party copied from 'The Great Gatsby'? Why does the director prefer PowerPoint transitions to ANYTHING ELSE? Why would you show the actress falling from the roof a million times? And why does Himesh carry a cigarette if he’s never going to smoke it? Yes, Salman Khan has his lucky bracelet, that doesn’t mean koi kuch bhi pakad ke fashion statement bana lega. Was this movie a thriller? Was it a comedy? Was it a failed musical tragedy? I’ll tell you what it was — disgrace to Bollywood. 

I could go on an on about bad acting, direction, cinematography, screenplay and even music. Some dialogues were what you could call “almost bearable.” But seriously, 3 good dialogues don’t make up for the 3 hours you lose when you watch a movie like this. And Oh! Oh! Oh! There is a cat fight scene in the movie too, I died laughing (that’s all — 10 seconds of happiness) Himesh Reshammiya, if you absolutely HAVE to act, please choose a better script. Sadly, you were the only good thing about this movie. Anant Mahadevan, Bollywood means a lot to us. Don’t make films like these and have the audacity to act in them too. Please, you are better than this. 

This movie certainly doesn’t worth to rate, but we give it 1 star for: "Tere shareer mein itna khoon nai hoga, Jitna Ravi Kumar ek baar mein moot deta hai.” and half star as gift, Party!"
