Toofan

"Toofan" presents a promising plot for Bangladeshi cinema. Megastar Shakib Khan, along with Mimi (from Kolkata) and Nabila, have given their best efforts under the direction of Raihan Rafi. While the first half is average, the second half is quite thrilling and maintains a fast pace.

As a director, Raihan Rafi has certainly put in his best effort. However, when compared to global cinema, the plot lacks the 'wow' factor. "Toofan" weaves a story of twists, crime, and political violence. Unfortunately, Shakib Khan tends to overact when a more restrained performance would suffice. In contrast, actors like Salauddin Lavlu, Misha Sawdagor, Gazi Rakayet, Shahiduzzaman Selim, and Chanchal Chowdhury are known for their natural and method acting in Bangladesh. Despite involving many talented actors, Raihan Rafi did not manage to showcase everyone's skills to their fullest.

From a technical standpoint, some of the background music seems to be copied or inspired by recently released Hindi movies. The film features only two original songs. Additionally, the storyline has several loopholes.

On a positive note, the camera work and cinematography are commendable, thanks to Tahsin Rahman's efforts.

Overall, "Toofan" is a decent effort and a good start for Bangladeshi cinema. It's a commercial film that you can enjoy with family and friends in the theatre. While the execution could have been better, my overall rating for the film is 6 out of 10.

"Toofan" breaks the Shakib Khan mold with a captivating action-thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Raihan Rafi's directorial magic shines through in this unique and engaging storyline set in the 90s.

The movie is a far cry from typical love stories, delving into complex themes that require a keen eye to follow. Witty dialogues and well-developed characters further enhance the experience. While the beginning may leave you intrigued about the movie's direction, the storyline gradually unfolds, transporting you to the 90s era with world-class cinematography.

A particular standout is the breathtaking scene where Toofan rescues his foster father, showcasing the movie's action-packed thrills. For those unfamiliar with Shakib Khan, this movie serves as a fantastic introduction to his talent, as he delivers a relatable and impressive performance. However, it's Mimi Chakraborty who steals the show with her mind-blowing acting skills, elevating her character to new heights.

The supporting cast, including Chanchal Chowdhury and Shahiduzzaman Selim, also deliver commendable performances, adding depth to the narrative. While some elements may seem familiar, the underlying story remains unique and fresh.

If you're craving an action-packed thriller, "Toofan" is an absolute must-watch. It's a testament to Shakib Khan's versatility and Raihan Rafi's directorial prowess, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.

I saw Shakib Khan in a different way in this movie. He gave the best performance of his life in this movie. His dialogue delivery was amazing. Raihan Rafi has managed to use him very well. When you watch Tufan movie, every moment will pass through your time thrilling and intense.

But Mimi Chakraborty and Nabila didn't have much to do in the movie. Shakib Khan has done the movie alone. The acting of Misha Saudagar, Chanchal Chowdhury and Shahiduzzaman Selim as supporting cast was top class. Moreover Ghazi Rakayet and Salahuddin Lovelu are also used very well.

There are some unreleased songs from the movie, hope you like them.

"This is the best Bengali movie I have ever seen. It has immense potential to break all past records. Director Raihan Rafi, superstar Shakib, Chanchal Chowdhury, and all the actors have delivered outstanding performances, rating 10/10. The director deserves thanks for presenting such a beautiful movie on such a low budget. I hope the golden days of Bengali cinema will return through this movie. The film's BGM, background music, cinematic view, along with the exceptional acting of the prominent actors, will offer Bengalis a new kind of wonder never seen before. Thanks to Raihan Rafi for gifting us such a movie.
