    It misses the mark but can be watched

    "Baby 2015" raised the bar of Indian Cinema with its taut, exhilarating and tight screenplay. It had a lot of new elements which made it an amazing film and it was another feather in the cap of director Neeraj Pandey. "Naam Shabana" is a prequel to "Baby" which depicts how the character of Tapasee Pannu was included in the Agency.

    A comparison with Baby is a sure thing here but Naam Shabana disappoints. It could not transport the expectations "Baby" inflicted because of its weak screenplay and execution of the subject matter.

    It takes at least 45 minutes to get the grip of the plot and misses the point repeatedly. The production value was not as good as "Baby" had. We understand that it is an entirely different movie than "Baby" however when we had already witnessed an astounding movie, the judgment is inevitable.

    Tapasee is a very good actor and has done the job tremendously, the extended appearance of Akshay Kumar adds a worth to the movie.

    Overall you can watch this movie for Tapasee, do not expect it to be a tense thriller like "Baby".

    No doubt that you will be disappointed

    I am quite positive that you will be quite disappointed in this movie. Really bad cast, apart from the big names, pathetic action and a very lose story line had me realize multiple times about the sheer waste of time this movie was. Akshay kumar was only in the movie because he needed to be in this movie, apart, his role was not required at all. Similarly for Anupam kher. The ending fighting sequence is as if written by a 12year old.

    Very very far from a decent spy movie....

    A very bad acted movie from Taapsee

    Before watching this movie, i was kinda expecting too much, may b just on the level of baby. Starting from love scene, the serious tragic emotion on her face, her brave girl show off, her crying, etc. all seems like as if she was trying too much to go in that character but still failing to get it along. While watching i was kind of bored until Akshay comes on. That can be said as the relief for the guys. She looked good as a sidekick of Akshay but as lead she completely ruins it. One more thing to point out that lead actress life was extended too much before starting the real story. At last i can only say while watching i never felt connected to her character at all from starting. And ya at last she looked completely as a novice in Kungfu or whatever form of fight it was. Her stances, her moves seems nothing like the character she was playing. A simple tip: Songs weren't required. Some training would have helped her a lot. If she would have got some muscles etc while going through training in the movie, it would have been a plus point.

    Watch it for Taapsee

    Worth watching for Taapsee. She looked perfect for the role (9/10). Prithviraj is ok. Akshay bad. Script has too many loose ends. Movie not as good as Baby.

    Watch it for Taapsee Pannu gripping performacne

    Well first of all let me tell you i am not much fan of Bollywood movies but after watching trailer of this movie i was intrigued to watch it and glad i did it. This movie has gripping first half and second half is little let down as story becomes too mainstream in second half. Having said that Taapsee Pannu gave one of his finest performance till date, her intensity throughout the movie was brilliant and specially top notch action action by her is a treat to watch. Its a must watch for its gripping first half and obviously for Taapsee Pannu.
