Naam Shabana opening weekend number stands at approximately 19 Cr which is higher than similar budget movies like Phillauri, Ok Jaanu or a big budgeted Rangoon. The performance is stunning of one looks at this comparison.

However, the trade is quick to remind that Naam Shabana comes from brand Baby (it is a spin-off). Then there is also the presence of a star like Akshay Kumar, although it is just a cameo. Whatever may be the case, the big numbers are surely encouraging for the makers.
