issues with error messages while validating the form field in express js

In case of any validation errors I want to display appropriate error message in the same jade page(i.e register.jade).If not then I want to store the data with the help of schema object succesfully and return to my home page. But currently, I am getting all the error messages even though the inputs are correct.

I am using Express+Node+Mongodb+Mongoose.

May I know how to achieve it.

Relevant (12:55 min) video which i am following is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeiP4jN1mfs&list=PLNiY_2deiFolObKp8sav6TmxnnjVFuwqu&index=16

Here is my code -

app.js

var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var expressValidator = require('express-validator');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var session=require('express-session');
var passport=require('passport');
var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

var multer = require('multer');

var upload = multer({ dest: './uploads' });
var flash = require('connect-flash');
var mongo = require('mongodb');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var db = mongoose.connection;

var index = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');

var app = express();

// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');


// uncomment after placing your favicon in /public
//app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'favicon.ico')));
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

//Handle Express Sessions
app.use(session({
    secret:'secret',
    saveUninitialized:true,
    resave:true
}));

//Passport
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

//Validator
app.use(expressValidator({
  errorFormatter: function(param, msg, value) {
      var namespace = param.split('.')
      , root    = namespace.shift()
      , formParam = root;

    while(namespace.length) {
      formParam += '[' + namespace.shift() + ']';
    }
    return {
      param : formParam,
      msg   : msg,
      value : value
    };
  }
}));


app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

app.use(flash());
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  res.locals.messages = require('express-messages')(req, res);
  next();
});
app.use('/', index);
app.use('/users', users);

// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  var err = new Error('Not Found');
  err.status = 404;
  next(err);
});

// error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
  // set locals, only providing error in development
  res.locals.message = err.message;
  res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};

  // render the error page
  res.status(err.status || 500);
  res.render('error');
});

module.exports = app;


users.js(inside routes folder)

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

    if(req.files && req.files.profileimage){

        res.location('/');
