Netizens React
As the movie hit the screens, Twitter (now X) was flooded with reactions. Some viewers appreciated the psychological depth of the story, while others couldn't help but point out the irony of Ajay Devgn and Anees Bazmee working on two clashing films (Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3) in the same month.
A fan quipped, “Ajay Devgn and Anees Bazmee clashing on Diwali, only to release a film together weeks later? Bollywood is full of surprises!” Another added, “Naam has wildcard energy! From no buzz to suddenly releasing, it’s quite the rollercoaster!”
Others shared their thoughts on the film itself, with one user writing, “The twists in Naam are gripping! Ajay Devgn shines as always, and the direction by Anees Bazmee keeps you hooked.” Some fans commented on the visuals, saying, “Switzerland scenes felt like they were filmed in Shimla!”
HAVE A LOOK:
Watched #Naam a good one time watch. Happy to see 2005-06 @ajaydevgn looks once again. Over all good movie based on almost 20 years ago. Just recall my old days memories watching the movie.

#Naam has been watched. #AneesBazmee what direction. Unfortunate that movie got struck for 20 years. Would've been Superhit if released in 2004. Ajay Devgn Excels. What a Suspense. Shock Value. Baap of Deewangee. Anil Roongta ji Congrats.

True to internet culture, some reactions came in the form of memes. A popular one read, “Ajay Devgn went from memory loss in Naam to reminding everyone why he’s the boss in Singham Again this month!” Another meme humorously highlighted the film’s surprise release: “Naam is the Bollywood equivalent of a surprise pop quiz in school. No one saw it coming!”
Despite the lack of pre-release hype, Naam has sparked curiosity among audiences. The unique storyline, Ajay Devgn’s performance, and Anees Bazmee’s directorial style have made it a topic of discussion. Whether the film manages to sustain this buzz at the box office remains to be seen. Ajay Devgn and Anees Bazmee’s Naam has stirred excitement with its intriguing premise and last-minute announcement.
