Shivam Nair’s Naam Shabana (The Name is Shabana) is a member of that all-too-rare breed of motion pictures, the action-thriller spinoff that bears comparison with the original film.
As a prequel to Neeraj Pandey’s Mission Impossible-style masterpiece Baby of 2015, Naam Shabana certainly had a lot to live up to.
I had been nervous for a couple of months, ever since the release of its trailer. Would Pandey’s unique vision of a an elite antiterrorist force fighting against specifically Islamic enemies of the Indian Republic be able to survive the translation to a prequel made by a different director? Especially since that prequel’s title character, previously known only by her Hindu-sounding codename, Priya, was now revealed to be a Muslim Indian named Shabana Khan.
Still, there was ample room for hope, as the trailers were uniformly good, and even the ferociously patriotic leader of team Baby in the original film, Feroze Khan (played by Danny Dengzongpa,) was also a Muslim.
Driving to the debut this afternoon, “first day, first show,” as they say in India, the early doubts left me and I somehow felt exhilarated.
Briefly, Naam Shabana was pulse-poundingly magnificent, and will certainly burnish the reputations of its director Shivam Nair, its writer/producer Neeraj Pandey, and especially of its heroine, actress/martial artist Taapsee Pannu.
The Muslim issue was addressed in the first face-to-face meeting between Shabana and her recruiter, in which he tells her that they have been tracking her for a long time, that they know everything (“sab kuch“) about her, and that the government is interested in her precisely because she does not have the same beliefs about her religion that her coreligionists do.
And the villain is identified as an international arms dealer and human trafficker who sells to Islamic terror organizations.
Use Fandango to check if this film is playing within 100 miles of you and, if so, go see it.

Here’s a wonderful singer from the 20-30s with a jazz group. She had a short career to our loss.
