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.

If you think this is a copy of KGF or Animal then you are quite wrong. The story is familiar but the plot is different. The first half is fairly good, but the second half after the arrival of Chanchal Chowdhury, the movie kicks into full gear and from that point the movie is 100 out of 100. Shakib Khan's acting has matured enough, dialogue delivery needs more work. Chanchal is the best part of the whole movie. The acting of the rest of them was top notch The movie's post-credit scene was transformed into a full-fledged stadium. The best aspect of the movie is that in mafia movies, the character of the mafia shows a good side where the audience has an emotional soft corner, but here it is all negative, even as a viewer, you will think that the hero is the main villain. A movie worth watching in the hall.

The New era of Bangladeshi Cinema has begun. A pure master class and the best direction by Raihan Rafi as he poured out the best performance till date from Mega Star Shakib Khan. BGM, CGR, Editing, Casting, songs, dialogue etc. Every single thing about this movie is almost perfect. Multicasting of several legendary actors from Bengali film industry worked really well as it attracts both mass and class people at the same time. Raihan Rafi proved once again that he is the best Bangladeshi movie director of modern era and also proved that Mega Star Shakib Khan is a director's artist and proper utilization and presentation will make him almost invincible and he is no less then any Bollywood or South actors. In my opinion Mega Star Shakib Khan is a perfect combination of Three biggest Khans in Bollywood (Shahrukh, Amir and Salman) My personal rating for Toofan is 8.5 but just to encourage multicasting and high budget fimls which is very rare in Bangladesh I'm giving full Marks. Thank you.

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.

"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.
