First Day First Show : Naam Shabana - Here is the prequel to the much acclaimed Baby. In Baby, Akshay Kumar was the main lead and Tapsee Pannu played the cameo. In this movie it is reversed. Tapsee Pannu is the main lead and gets a juicier role. Anupam Kher, Manoj Bajpai and Prithviraj Sukumaran add to the cast. Akshay Kumar has an extended cameo.
This movie lacks the intensity or the tempo maintained in the screenplay continuously by Baby. The undercover operation undertaken in this movie also lacks the strategic and meticulous planning as it's prequel. Tapsee Pannu has done justice to her role but her character is shown as someone who is dependent on others for backup support and inputs. After Pink, Tapsee gets another women oriented role and does justice with her performance. But somewhere the script is not as convincing as Baby. Nevertheless, this movie makes for a great watch this weekend.
Next release : Begum Jaan, Laali ki shaadi mein Laaddoo deewana (7th April)
