Farhan Akhtar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra are back with Toofaan but did it create a toofaan for the janta? Let's find out!
After the massive success of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, the director-actor duo Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Farhan Akhtar are back with Toofaan. While Bhaag Milkha Bhaag was a biopic, Toofaan is purely a fictional story of a local gangster becoming a famous boxer. It's a movie about an underdog who faces a personal tragedy and his life is full of trials and tribulations till he reaches where he wants to be. The film stars Farhan Akhtar, Mrunal Thakur, Paresh Rawal, Mohan Agashe, and Supriya Pathak Kapoor in pivotal roles.
The story follows Aziz Ali (Farhan Akhtar), a local gangster from Dongri who gets inspiration to learn boxing from Muhammad Ali. But there are tons of hurdles, both personal and professional that he has to cross through. First and foremost is to bring in that ambition of becoming a boxer, another is to deal with this islamophobic society. While he convinces coach Prabhu (Paresh Rawal) to train him in spite of being an islamophobe and falls in love with his daughter, Ananya (Mrunal Thakur) who is his biggest support, he still has to face a ban, faith problems, and rise above all of it.

But did this story of an underdog rising above his own and society's limitations to become something in life created a toofaan for the janta? Let's find out!
#Toofaan Disappointed.. This is a very cliché way of narrating a sports movie.. Very boring...🥲 Expected a different type of making... pic.twitter.com/UQpDDXqShV

Generic, yet engaging sports drama. Has predictable flow with template moments, still the emotions gel well & authentic boxing sequences with terrific performance from Farhan akhtar steals the show!
Verdict: Worth a watch, though Not a milestone film for director. pic.twitter.com/wsTRzzY30N
Watched #Toofaan and really enjoyed it. INSPIRATIONAL.

it's a film full of k/o performances. regular and a bit predictable story but with few twists. lacks good music...@FarOutAkhtar is terrific and @mrunal0801 is the soul of the film...flawless direction by @RakeyshOmMehra. pic.twitter.com/VHmfPCmHVM

Watched #Toofaan and I can’t get myself out of that zone. Roller coaster of emotions and intensity! The rising from the ashes of @FarOutAkhtar is something! The entire team has done a fab job. https://t.co/K45SaTzBIz

Regular sports drama packed with cliched scenes. Zero emotions, No Fresh scenes. Only positive is Farhan Akhtar’s efforts & Perf. Mrunal is gud. Boxing scenes lacks d punch. Nearly 3Hrs runtime, a big yawn. Highly Outdated film. MEGA BORE! pic.twitter.com/ez4J21aZdj
Another great one by @FarOutAkhtar Mixed bag of emotions and ultimate instances of grit and determination.Loved the way the movie was able to portray the different phases of a athlete's life and the balance required between professional and private life.#Toofaan 9/10 ⭐ pic.twitter.com/aBQxKD03xr

Laughter has touched the whole mind. If there is such a life partner, then every boy will be Toofaan in everyone's life.
