Some films come with big hype, months of promotions, and after watching
the film the audience might feel 'was it worth the hype?'. Then there
are some films which are decently promoted and well made, but
straightaway rejected by the audience even without watching it! And at
a later point of time when they get a chance to watch the movie, they
may say 'arre, yeh film toh theek tha (hey, this film was alright!).
The Xpose, unfortunately falls to the second category.

My friends laughed at me when I told them that I am gonna watch a
Himesh Reshammiya flick, that too in theatre! Well, this is not the
first time they laugh at me, I have faced it before also. As a movie
lover, I support people who work hard, and put in their efforts to make
the best. This guy has worked real hard and shredded approx. 20kgs for
this film, and he looks good! Also, the music seems nice, the film is
rumored to be based on the dirty games in Bollywood during late 60s,
and the director is a National Award winning man! I think these are
enough reasons to watch this movie.
The film, promoted as a murder mystery, rather is more of a drama than
a thriller. Yes, there are a few thrills but eventually it falls into
the drama genre. It has its well-developed characters, the emotions and
the dirty tricks human minds play to keep themselves safe. As mentioned
earlier, the film is set in late 1960s and is all about the glamorous
and larger-than life era. An era which showcased the other side of
Indian women, who were otherwise portrayed as the usual traditional
family girls. As the film unfolds, we are introduced to a world where
actresses fight, heroes travel in Impalas, and speak daring one-liners
frequently. Love at first sight happens, and hatred too, very often!
The film is shot well, despite of its tight budget, and the songs are
placed at the right place. The direction is good and he ensures that
the audience who comes out the hall are not disappointed. The
mystery-revealing portions were, however kinda loose and appeared to be
wrapped up very quickly. Had the writers added 10-15 more minutes of
investigation stuff to the film, it would have become one of the finest
thrillers Bollywood has ever produced! Nevertheless, the film is good
and has its moments.
But then, its a Himesh Reshammiya movie na, who will watch it in
theatre! Who can sit through his bad acting? Trust me, once the movie
starts reeling, you will be shocked to see an unexpected good
performance from him! Yes, he has put his complete effort to live up to
the character. His one-liners have an extra-punch! His never-give up
attitude ensures that he is here to stay. The débutant Yo Yo Honey
Singh has done a decent job, and the rest of the cast enacted their
characters convincingly. Special mention to the beautiful and hot lady
Sonali Raut. She was awesome. The narration by the talented Irrfan Khan
was another plus point.
Overall, Xpose is a good watch and an ernest attempt from the makers.
Watch it, and explore the dark secrets behind the bollywood of 1960s.
Thumbs up for this one!
