Naam Shabana movie review: Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu in a spy thriller

Two years after the critically-acclaimed Neeraj Pandey film, Baby, its spin-off 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 Baby’s performance are the main reasons for the expectations rising sky-high.
