Set in the golden era of Bollywood of 1960’s, The Xpose is a poor attempt at a whodunit plot, where the story revolves around the murder of an actress in a Bollywood party. This 80 minute musical thriller is a recipe that has gone horribly wrong for the National Award winner and director Anant Mahadevan, who is well known to have delivered screenplays like the famous Mee Sindhutai Sapkal.
Reportedly inspired by real-life events of Bollywood during the 60’s, the movie had the potential to be a blockbuster hit. It was the poor screenplay and editing that killed the real quintessence of the film. The film’s characters Zara and Chandni (played by Sonali Raut & Zoya Afroz) are reportedly based on Parveen Babi and Zeenat Aman.

For those of you who are looking forward to watching the biggest vintage musical extravaganza Himesh Reshammiya’s The Xpose, here is some more information about the film.
Of all the famous Bollywood stories mentioned over the years, there is one particular story that always stands out: when Sunil Dutt saab rescued Nargisji on the sets of their film Mother India. This famous real life scene has been recreated in The Xpose where Himesh’s character Ravi Kumar saves actress Chandni Roy (Zoya Afroz) from the fire.
Speaking to Toi, Ananth explained how the original incident happened: “While others are shouting for the fire brigade, Ravi rushes into the inferno and headless of the pillars crashing around him, mounts the platform on which Chandni is standing”. Now everything was set up to go off without any problems and all safety precautions were checked but there was a leak in one of the gas pipelines.
