This is a dramatic chain of events in the most glamorous ,swinging era of Hindi films... the 1960s. It was a decade when film stars tasted success and carried their larger than life screen image on to real life with unbridled pomp and splendour. It was during this time that two ambitious films were made... Ujwal Nirmal Sheetal and Reena Mera Naam. The latter became a runaway hit while the former was struggling at the box office.

Tejas Yagnik The Movie was Really Good and the Writing Was Smart.The Direction was Good with a Nice Medium Flow and the Actors Were Great.Indians Have a Habbit of criticizing Actors and Movies which Don't have popular Stars or are always Following the Crowd.Himesh has proved his Acting Skills in this Movie and The Director Anant has Nicely Used Himesh's Attitude and Acting. It was Far Better than Sharukh's Brainless Movies. the Music is Fantastic as always,Himesh Has created that 70's Feel and also have Modern Feel to It. Icecream Khaungi is the 70's Feel Music which is a Hit. Hai apna Dil is a Melodious Track with Himesh Antics and Best Sound Track. Dard Dil o Ke Was a chartbuster with Youngsters. Aap ka Surror was Good but not like his Debut Movie. The gazhal Sishe ka Samundar was a marvelous Track and Rekha Bharadwaj has done a fabulous Work .
silvan-desouza 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.
Rohan Malik 'The Xpose' is an entertaining yet boring 'thriller', or as the makers only call it a thriller. Personally, the film I found very funny. Especially the scenes where Himesh's character is being filmed, and he acts like he's a very big superstar. The film's story is decent, not too bad and not great either, but it's quite clichéd and predictable.After watching the trailer, you can take a few guesses on who you think is the murderer in the end, and one of those guesses is probably right, but I won't reveal the character and spoil it for you. The performances in the film are not as good as they should be in my opinion. Himesh is decent, probably better than his previous few films. Honey isn't bad, the debutant girls aren't that good and the supporting characters of people such as Anant Mahadevan, Rajesh Sharma and Dayashankar Pandey amongst others are alright.Actor Irrfan Khan is hardly even in the film, yet he's featured in the film's poster for some reason. He narrates some of the film (most of the first half) and also appears shortly in the first half, but doesn't really change the state of the film.The ending is extremely disappointing, and after a good second-half you'd think and expect an interesting climax, but it happens to be the most predictable thing possible I'd say. Not going to spoil the ending, I will not add any more, just the fact that if you enjoy suspenseful thrillers then you will probably NOT enjoy this film, as it tries hard to be in that genre but doesn't really work in my opinion.Also, I'd like to add that though the first half is more comedy, the second half is quite serious, and the second is probably the only suspenseful thing in the film. If you're bored, and looking for an entertaining (yet a film with an ending that will leave you disappointed and angry for why you wasted your time watching the whole film) movie then watch 'The Xpose' at your own risk.
Shyam Narayanan TK (ShyamNTK) 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 theater! 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 theater! 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!
