A spin off the hugely successful Baby, Naam Shabana narrates the story of a female intelligence officer. Taapsee Pannu only played a small role in Baby, but Naam Shabana focuses on her story and how she became a part of the secret services.
Directed by Shivam Nair and produced by Neeraj Pandey, the film also has Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee and Anupam Kher playing supporting roles. Just like Baby, Naam Shabana is a thriller and has Taapsee Pannu performing some risky stunts.
Taapsee is riding high on the success of last year's Pink which was an issue based film. It would be interesting to see whether the actress can take Naam Shabana to similar heights with her performance. Shomini Sen of News18 is inside the theater to live tweet the experience.

11:06 AM: Didn't know secret services put conditions when they recruit. #NaamShabana
11:24 AM: Shabana is not your typical hindi film heroine. She knows how to protect herself and her man. #NaamShabana
11:31 AM: #NaamShabana takes it's time to establish the plot. The first twenty minutes has a slow narrative. It only picks up closer to the interval.

12:48 PM: #NaamShabana gives ample scope to @taapsee to perform and she doesn't disappoint.
12:53 PM: Despite good actors, #NaamShabana doesn't really quite pick up. The film appears very slow
12:56 PM: #NaamShabana dwindles a bit. Takes too much time to establish the plot but picks up close to the climax.
12:59 PM: .@taapsee gives a credible performance as the no-nonsense Shabana. She knows how to protect herself and gives a tough fight to the bad guys.

1:01 PM: Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher's cameo brings back memories of #Baby. #NaamShabana
