Naam Shabana movie review: Will this Akshay, Taapsee Pannu starrer match up to ...

Two years after the critically-acclaimed Neeraj Pandey film, Baby, its spin-off, Naam Shabana, hits theatres on Friday. Starring Taapsee Pannu in the lead role and Akshay Kumar in a guest appearance, the movie is one of the most anticipated ones in recent times. Neeraj Pandey’s writing and the success of Baby are the main reasons for the expectations rising sky-high.

Naam Shabana takes the audience through the making of a spy, who protects her nation against all odds. While Bollywood has seen numerous spy thrillers based on male characters, Naam Shabana, is the first-ever Indian movie based on a woman spy -- Shabana. Her depiction is all set to salute the spirit of all the nameless spies who courageously work every day to protect us.

Akshay Kumar makes a guest appearance, reprising his role as Ajay Singh Rajput from Baby.

Directed by Shivam Nair, Naam Shabana also stars Anupam Kher and Manoj Bajpayee. Will Shivam manage to keep the intriguing quality of Baby and impress the audience? Watch this space for a detailed review.
