[edit] Reviews

Naqaab received mixed reviews. Critics were generally positive to the performances of the three lead actors. Taran Adarsh of Indiafm.com said the Naqaab belongs to Akshaye, who delivers yet another powerful performance. He's splendid, the real scene stealer, the soul of the enterprise. Bobby is relegated to the backseat in the first hour, but manages to make his presence felt in the second half. Urvashi Sharma gets a dream launch and she utilizes the golden opportunity completely. [4] Bollywoodarchive.com said Akshaye Khanna’s stands out most outstandingly. His chemistry with Urvashi is superb. Bobby Deol does his part well but offers nothing vulnerable. Newcomer Urvashi Sharma acts as if she has the experience of many films behind her. [5]
