Plot

[edit]

In 1994, aspiring actor Shanto goes to FDC looking for a role in a movie but is dismissed. On the set, costume designer Julie mistakes Shanto for a background dancer and sends him to the dance floor. The movie's lead actor, Raj, becomes furious when he sees Shanto, who is taller and more handsome than him, and demands that the director removes Shanto from the set. Feeling guilty, Julie manages to get Shanto some minor roles as a background fighter.

Later, Raj gets into an altercation with some local goons. Julie tries to calm the situation, but the goons turn on her. Shanto steps in and fights them off, impressing the film's director, Rocky. Rocky sees potential in Shanto as a hero but can only secure him a role as a secondary villain in an upcoming film. The leading actress in the movie, Suchona, also takes notice. However, during the premiere, Shanto is humiliated when his scenes are cut, embarrassing him in front of his neighborhood. Despondent, he contemplates suicide, only to be taken hostage by Toofan's men.

It is revealed that Suchona had removed Shanto's scenes because of his resemblance to Toofan, a top terrorist and mafia kingpin, who also happens to be her lover. Toofan wants Shanto to impersonate him for a "movie." Shanto pleads for two months to learn how to emulate Toofan. Toofan's advisor and mentor, Jalaluddin, briefs Shanto on Toofan's history:

In 1961, in Alokdiya village, Toofan, born Galib Bin Ghani, loses his mother during childbirth. In 1974, his father, Ghani Miah, stands up against a local land raider named Shehnawaz, threatening legal action. In retaliation, Shehnawaz kills Ghani. A vengeful Galib decapitates Shehnawaz and is arrested. A local gangster, Bashir, sees potential in Galib and bribes the police to release him, taking Galib under his wing and giving him the nickname "Toofan," though he treats him like a servant.

Years later, Toofan kills Bashir during a “friendly” wrestling match and seizes control of his gang. He then sets his sights on expanding his criminal empire to the capital, Dhaka. At the same time, rival gangster Talat has similar ambitions. Toofan allies with Talat, pretending to be his right-hand man, only to poison him at their first meeting.

In 1990, Toofan's right-hand man, Jamshed, arranges a meeting with the leaders of the opposition party at a social gathering before the upcoming elections. However, they insult him, dismissing him as a village thug. Enraged, Toofan kills them all with a minigun, gaining nationwide notoriety. He later meets with a minor political faction, the "Janata Party," funding them while his men eliminate top political figures to remove competition. The Janata Party wins the election, securing the most seats.

At a club party, Toofan becomes infatuated with lead dancer Suchona. When a man tries to dance with her, Toofan shoots him dead. The victim, Sohan Choudhary, was a rising star of the 1990s, sparking a media scandal. Toofan forces Home Minister Ariffin to release a statement denying his existence. Growing reckless, Toofan expands his influence into various sectors, making him uncontrollable.

In the present, Shanto successfully imitates Toofan. To test him, Toofan sends Shanto to his bedroom to see if Suchona can tell the difference, but she fails to notice. Meanwhile, the president authorizes Home Minister Arifin to eliminate Toofan. Ariffin assigns Assistant Commissioner Akram and his team to track down Toofan. Akram, who has detailed information on Toofan, finds Jalaluddin and severely injures him. Upon hearing the news, Toofan rescues Jalaluddin but becomes furious when he learns that Jalal had provided Akram with critical evidence and was set to testify against him, prompting Toofan to kill him.

Akram arrests many of Toofan's men, including Jamshed, and interrogates Suchona. The police issue a wanted poster of Toofan. Toofan, fearing capture, forces Suchona to call Akram and give him Shanto's address as his own while he escapes to Dubai. However, wanting to escape Toofan's control, Suchona gives Akram the true location of Toofan's car, leading Akram to kill Toofan, making national headlines.

Three days later, Akram questions why Suchona betrayed Toofan. She reveals that during Shanto's test, she accidentally informed him that Toofan only intended to use him as a body double, which led Shanto to beg for his life. Fearing Toofan's violent nature, she decided to act. Shanto eventually becomes a rising star.

In the pre-credit scene, it is revealed that Akram did not actually kill Toofan, who is recovering in a hospital.

Reception

[edit]

Critical response

[edit]

Critic Rabbani Rabbi on Independent TV praised Toofan for its powerful performances, particularly Shakib Khan's dual role and the strong supporting cast. While the film draws inspiration from movies like KGF and Salaar, it still stands out with its engaging storyline and impressive action scenes. However, it slightly falters in narrative consistency. He gave the film a rating of 3.8/5.[90] Film critic and journalist Ahsan Habib point out that the film Toofan, explores a familiar storyline of crime and revenge, glamorizing violence and using clichéd lines like "society creates killers." While the film features strong performances from Shakib Khan and Chanchal Chowdhury, it suffers from inconsistencies and similarities to other films, notably in its portrayal of Shakib Khan's character. Despite these flaws, Toofan is smartly executed and hints at a sequel. He give the film 6 out 10 stars.[122] Critic Shadique Mahbub Islam from The Business Standard gave the film a rating of 3.5/5. He noted that Toofan impresses with its thrilling sequences, Shakib Khan's dedication, and standout performances from Chanchal Chowdhury and the supporting cast. While the film draws inspiration from Indian cinema, it stands out for its visual appeal, though it suffers from a weak, inconsistent plot and underdeveloped character arcs.[123] In a review in Prothom Alo, Towheed Feroze highlighted Shakib Khan's impressive dual portrayal of the fierce Toofan and the innocent Shanto. Despite the film draws inspiration from popular titles and has sparked debates over its themes, Feroze commended its energetic storytelling, viral tracks, and Khan's commanding performance, marking it as a significant revival for the Bangladeshi cinema landscape.[124] Ahnaf Tahmid Fahid of The Financial Express praised the film as a "cinematic storm," highlighting Khan's "mesmerizing" performance as the ruthless gangster. Fahid noted the film's strong direction and visuals but felt the story lacked depth and clarity regarding Toofan's motives. Despite this, he recommended the film as an action-packed entertainer.[125] Shumona Sharmin Sharna of The Business Post the film as a "cinematic triumph," praising Khan's dual role and Raihan Rafi's expert direction. She highlighted the film's technical strengths but pointed out its lack of Bangladeshi authenticity and underutilized supporting cast. Despite these critiques, Sharna emphasized that Toofan is an engaging, high-budget spectacle that keeps audiences hooked.[126] Purnia Samia of The Daily Ittefaq described Toofan a "cinematic revolution". She praised Khan's powerful performance and Mimi Chakraborty's charm, noting the film's stunning visuals and entertainment value. Despite minor character depth issues, she lauded the film as a groundbreaking moment for Bangladeshi cinema.[127]

Shababa Iqbal of Ice Today called Toofan a "gory, racy thriller", praising Khan's "convincing dual role" and strong editing and cinematography that intensify the film's climax. Despite a "garbled storyline", Khan's performance kept Toofan gripping till the end.[128] Maskawath Ahsan of Amader Shomoy was more positive about the film for its "sound technical execution" but noted that its content fell short in delivering a nuanced story. "The film excels in its visuals, costume design, and choreography, making it a successful commercial production," he wrote, adding that Toofan reflects the technical strengths of Dhallywood. However, Ahsan criticized the film's narrative for leaning into themes of toxic masculinity and power dynamics, which detracted from its overall message. "It’s a film made purely for entertainment, best enjoyed without overthinking the content," he concluded.[89] Dr. Hossne Ara Jolly, Dean of Arts at Jagannath University, critiqued the film as "disturbing" and "destructive." She remarked, "The film glorifies violence in a way that could negatively influence young minds, especially in today’s rising gang culture." While praising its production quality, Jolly also criticized the film for its chaotic storyline and excessive brutality, stating that it promotes lawlessness rather than meaningful entertainment.[129][130]

Aaro Ananda of ABP praised Toofan for Shakib Khan's larger-than-life dual performance as both gangster Toofan and actor Shanto, alongside Chanchal Chowdhury's standout portrayal of AC Akram. While the film excels in action sequences and provides good entertainment, it falters slightly in fully utilizing its talented female cast. Despite its flaws, the film remains engaging and visually appealing. The critic gave the film a rating of 3/5.[131] Sayani Rana of Hindustan Times awarded the film a 3.0/5 rating. He praised the film for its intense performances, especially Shakib Khan's portrayal of both Shanto and the ruthless Toofan. The film borrows elements from classic gangster movies, with nods to Don and Animal, but still manages to stand out with its brutal narrative and gritty action sequences. However, despite the strong performances, the film falters in character depth and lacks consistency in its 90s setting.[132] Poorna Banerjee of The Times of India gave the film a 3.0/5 rating, praising the film for its racy, action-packed narrative and highlighted Shakib Khan's commanding performance in his 250th film. The movie borrows elements from classics like Don, KGF and Animal, while the two main songs and dialogue references evoke 90's Bangladeshi pop culture. Though the film suffers from a lack of character development and a somewhat garbled storyline, it thrives on sharp editing and excellent cinematography, particularly in the thrilling second half. Despite its absurdities, Khan's portrayal of both the ruthless Toofan and innocent Shanto makes the film a fun watch.[133] Atindra Danyadari of Anandabazar Patrika rated the film 6 out of 10, calling it a film that prioritizes entertainment over logic. She noted it combines action and comedy, stating, "It offers pure entertainment without aiming for realism." Danyadari praised the performances and cinematography, emphasizing that the film's goal is to provide a delightful cinematic experience.[134] Bidisha Chattopadhyay of Sangbad Pratidin called Toofan "thrilling," praising it for its bold action and performances. "Watching Toofan, I was reminded of the impact of Don and Animal," she said, noting that like those films, Toofan "brings a fresh wave of high-octane entertainment." She added that the film is "not just a thrilling action ride but also a showcase of modern Bangladeshi cinema's potential" with a compelling anti-hero and a visually dynamic narrative.[135] ETV Bharat gave the film a positive review, commended the film for its thrilling entertainment, calling it "a high-octane action drama" with a familiar storyline. "The film evokes memories of classics like Don and Animal," they observed, highlighting that despite "predictable characters and a disjointed plot," Khan's dual portrayal of Toofan and Shanto adds "vibrancy and excitement." While the narrative "falls short in depth and character exploration," the reviewer stressed that Toofan remains "a captivating watch" from start to finish.[136] Anuska Ghatak of IWMBuzz rated the film 4 out 5 stars. She praised the film as an "adrenaline-pumping" action thriller with Shakib Khan delivering a "standout performance" in both roles. While the story "lacks logic," she noted its "high entertainment value" and praised the action, cinematography, and supporting cast, especially Chanchal Chowdhury as ACP Akram.[137] Shamayita Chakraborty of OTTPlay gave the film 2.5/5 stars, criticizing its "abysmal storyline" and lack of character development. Despite Shakib Khan's effort, the film "borrows heavily" from Don, Animal, and KGF, but fails to deliver a coherent plot. Chanchal Chowdhury and the songs Dushtu Kokil and Laage Ura Dhura stand out, though they arrive too late to save the film.[138]

Initially director Raihan Rafi has informed that the film's sequel, Toofan 2 is in development and is expected to be released on Eid al-Fitr 2025.[145] On October 2, 2024, during the announcement of a new project of director with Indian actor Jeet, titled Lion (2025), the film's director hinted in a Facebook post that the sequel, would be released on Eid al-Adha in 2025. [146][147] However, the film's lead actor, Shakib Khan, denied this, stating that the film would not be released on Eid al-Adha in 2025.[148][149]

Controversies

[edit]

After the announcement poster of the film was revealed, it was faced wide criticism for copying the American film John Wick: Chapter 2, which is very similar to John Wick: Chapter 2 film poster.[150][151][152] Just as Keanu Reeves is seen in the poster of John Wick: Chapter 2, Shakib Khan also seen in the poster of Toofan.[153][154][155]

Upon the release of its teaser, the film faced accusations of copying looks from Ranbir Kapoor's film Animal and Yash's look from KGF Additionally, there were rumors that the story of Toofan was also copied from KGF. These claims were debunked by both the director and producer.[156][157]

The Bangladesh Film Censor Board has accused the film's production company of showing the teaser "Toofani Tease" in theaters without any censor clearance.[158][159][160] The Bangladesh Film Censor Board alleges that the film Toofan is proceeding without adherence to regulations.[161]

It was initially reported that the film was a joint production between India and Bangladesh, with Shree Venkatesh Films from India and Chorki and Alpha-i Studios Ltd. from Bangladesh as producers, which was covered in various newspapers across Bangladesh and India.[d] However, when the film was submitted to Bangladesh Film Censor Board, only Alpha-i Studios Ltd. was listed as the sole production company.[168][169][170] Leaders from 19 film-related organizations at BFDC later raised concerns about the production process and funding behind Toofan.[e]

Impact

[edit]

The film broke all 20-year records at Star Cineplex by screening a maximum of 58 shows simultaneously.[176][139][98]

Due to overwhelming audience demand, a special screening of the film was held at 12 AM on June 18, 2024, at Chhayabani Cinema in Mymensingh, an exceptional event that hadn't occurred in Bangladesh in the past 20 years.[177]
