Reception

Vidya Srinivasa Rao of Rediff.com wrote, "Overall, though, the movie is a fun experience. If you are not laughing at the leading men's jokes and antics, you are laughing at their stupidity. Whichever way, your jawbones are always working. Watching XCuse Me would not be a bad idea this weekend." [2] Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1.5 out of 5, writing, "On the whole, XCUSE ME is a fair entertainer that should appeal to the youth mainly." [1]
