The Xpose Movie Review

Here are the reviews for the movie The Xpose. Watch out this space for more updates!

Rating:1/5 Review By:Nisha Tiwari Site:Rediff

There is nothing new, story wise, to speak of and it is eventually reduced to a desperately stylised murder mystery with its single dimensionally dysfunctional and ditzy characters, jazzy music, dark glasses and trench coats, random slo-mo action sequences and what have you. But the good thing is, it never pretends to care. Instead, all its energies are expended on telling us how great an actor Himesh Reshammiya is. And that is the only big reveal that’ll strike you as amusing in this whodunit at the end, if shoddy direction, acting and story aren’t your thing.

Rating:3/5 Review By:Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama

On the whole, THE XPOSE is a decently-crafted vintage musical-thriller that keeps you guessing about the identity of the murderer all through. An entertaining outing for fans of atypical Bollywood-style murder mysteries.

Rating:2/5 Review By:Mohar Basu Site:Koimoi

This film could be an out and out entertainer for you if you wish to see bad acting, and an unkempt storyline. Watch it if you need a good laugh! If you are going for the film hoping to catch up on some suspense thriller, The Xpose will surely disappoint you. It is a half baked attempt at creating a scandalous 60s era with underlined themes of sex, infidelity and murder.

Rating:3.5/5 Review By:Subhash K Jha Site:IANS

Admittedly some of the razzle-dazzle in the film (for example, the heroine emerging from the sea in a bikini) doesn't belong to the 1960s. So who said the world of the make-believe had to follow any rules? Yup, there is no business like show business. This whodunit means business. The suspense drama is bright, bouncy,believable and entertaining.

Rating:2.5/5 Review By:Madhureeta Mukherjee Site:Times of India

It's pacy but the plot unravels stylishly, not intelligently (some suspects don't have a clear motive for murder). Sonali is stunning and impressive, Zoya makes a pretty picture and Yo Yo is best when he's grooving. Himesh slips well into his character, with quirkiness and confidence. This is far from a mind-bending thriller, but a decent effort which has some good 'ol masala to keep you entertained.

The Xposé has the good sense to be irreverent. It’s a stupid film that knows it’s a stupid film and celebrates it, without being melodramatic or overlong (it runs for just under two hours). Come to think of it, that’s a lot like every Yo Yo Honey Singh song ever.

Rating:1/5 Review By:Sarit Ray Site:Hindustan Times

Honey Singh (as music director Kenny Damania) gets a fair amount of screen time. And though he’s mostly required to sing, vigorously shake his head and be a lech, he is, in contrast to Plastic Reshammiya, a better actor. To be fair to Himesh is the star: he sings, dances and raises a toast decadently like Jay Gatsby. He’s also Sherlock Holmes as he solves the case, albeit using not an iota of logic. In his self-created universe, he nose all.

Rating:2/5 Review By:Shubhra Gupta Site:Indian Express

If they had maintained the tone, ‘The Xpose’ would have been a hoot. But songs get stuffed in, a love angle slows things, and it gets stuck in cop stations and courts. They should have just kept the cheese thick. Here’s a sampler, from early in the film. A producer tells an aspirant : “na dance na expression na pose, sirf xpose!”. Classic. Nothing more would have been needed.
