The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I give this film a 1 as I know HR did not concept this as a spoof film. But the acting, the editing, the dialogue are all so bad that it works as a spoof of a bunch of mostly talentless actors working on a vanity project. A wooden doll emotes better than Himesh. His character is a narcissistic sociopath but hey, it works for the non-multiplex audiences whom the film targets. And he is no Rajnikanth in delivering masala dialogues. I think the film would have worked better if Himesh approached this as a spoof film and played the role over the top, with a wink-wink, nudge-nudge to the audience. Pro tip : Don't pay money to watch the film. You'll get more fun with your cash if you burn it and watch the flames.

I know the movie doesn't deserve one star out of 10. But that is the least I can give. 'Awful', the only word that can describe this movie. I don't know what glamour was the director trying to pull off. The movie was just an instrument for Himesh Reshamiyya to propound his songs. Yeah, and the songs too! I don't know why people loved the songs. They were just remakes of the previous super hit songs. I should have watched the election results today which were undoubtedly much more interesting than this crap movie. But my friends dragged me to watch it. And now they are regretting too. Speaking of acting, actor is good at his place and singer is best at his place. Himesh should never think of becoming an actor. He is not at all a star material HE SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS

I sometimes am left amused with our audiences taste, I was shocked that XPOSE is a hit and now plans are up for XPOSE 2. The film is such a torture, It tries to be everything, a thriller, a musical.etc It is set in 1960s when as per our flop director Anant Mahadevan filmmakers only made films on sex and heroes were Angry Young Man(LOL). Ironically the best actors are given the shortest roles,Irrfan Khan and Adil Hussain. The film starts off with a heroine thrown from a terrace(which is repeated many times), then we are introduced to several characters, One being Himesh Reshammiya who reminded me of Dev Anand, being in every frame, doing all the tasks.He starts off being an inspector(with a walk that doesn't suit an inspector), then he shoots a minister in an unintentional hilarious scene, then he becomes a south superstar and finally a Hindi star who shows attitude and dictates things and finally a detective.Then we have Yo Yo Honey Singh playing a singer and other stuff. The way the mystery is solved will make you start loving TV Series CID if you hate it. All looks so stupid and hilarious. Direction by Anant Mahadevan is terrible Music is decent but the songs hardly look like songs of 60s, with stupid lyrics like Ice Cream Khaungi.Himesh Reshammiya lost weight and looks better but still has the same expressionless face in most scenes and an awful dialogue delivery,though he does show some improvement compared to his previous crap works yet he has a long way to go Yo Yo Honey Singh annoys in his debut, his dialogue delivery is horrible and he also gets a raw deal and is left to the backseat at many times Both Sonali Rout and Zoya Afroz are non actors Nakul Vaid is decent in his role, Anant Mahadevan is okay Rajesh Sharma, Dayashankar Pandey do their roles well Adil Hussain and Irrfan Khan are wasted in cameos.

Pros: 1) Its Himesh's acting! he was just superb in the movie! the attitude he had shown in the movie is fantastic! I must say HR is growing as an actor from movie to movie, here he is a fully established actor! outstanding performance!2) Another major highlight is the dialogues, Written by Bunty Rathore, I just loved each of them.3)Music: its well known fact that music is massive hit!4)Direction and Screenplay: Ananth Mahadevan has proved once again that he is a fabulous director, loved the way each scene unfolds and how each scene is planned.5)Production value: Its great! with limited budget they had shot such a grand looking movie.Cons: Climax: Yes! in a Who done it kind of movie climax has to be strong,but the way they reveal the murder is not that interesting, you just don't have enough time to think who is murderer, the twist at the end is good, but the way they reveal,could have been better.Special Mention: Yo Yo Honey Singh acted very well too! he has very short roll, but enjoyed watching him, for every scene Honey comes in there will be a huge round of cheers and applause in the hall, this just shows his mammoth fan following. Zoya Afroz and Sonali they are just good! casting is very fine.
