Plot
Bantu and Chantu are unemployed and are not able to get any jobs due to lack of experience. They come across an advertisement for a hotel management program in Ujjain, and make their way there. Once there, they hoodwink the trainer by posing as the nephew of the owner of the hotel, and thus enroll themselves in the training course. In the course of the program, they expose several employees and guests as cheats, earning their wrath but also the admiration of the two daughters of the hotel owners. Things turn sour for the two when the guests and former employees get together to avenge their humiliation.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/excuse-me/critic-review/excuse-me-movie-review/|title=Excuse Me Review 1.5/5 | Excuse Me Movie Review | Excuse Me 2003 Public Review | Film Review|first=Bollywood|last=Hungama|date=26 September 2003|access-date=19 July 2023|archive-date=27 August 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240827091909/https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/excuse-me/critic-review/excuse-me-movie-review/|url-status=live}}

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."{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2003/sep/27review.htm|title=Xcuse Me: Total timepass!|website=www.rediff.com|access-date=19 July 2023|archive-date=27 August 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240827092030/https://www.rediff.com/movies/2003/sep/27review.htm|url-status=live}} 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."
