Naqaab (2007)
7/10
It's Good... Surprisingly So... But!

Warning: Spoilers
--- Yaar! There May Be Spoilers Below - You'll Have To Decide ---

It *is* a bit predictable and it's hardly "amazing" as SpringSummerWinter claims. It's a well done yarn and has a good measure of twists and turns but again, I think you'll see them as predictable ones. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy the movie: I most certainly did.

With regard to acting... No one here is an A-List actor on a global level. Akshaye Khanna is the same character in every movie - it's like watching Dustin Hoffman - one acting model slightly dressed up differently for each film. While he does a credible job here - he's still the same tortured and tormented character that he always is and lifeless and stiff as such.

Urvashi Sharma is gorgeous, and doesn't suck her first time out - but clearly she needs seasoning and I applaud her for taking the risk of doing the closest I've seen to a sex scene in a bollywood film - and in her first movie! YIKES!
