One of the latest cinematic masterpieces to have come our way recently in the Bangladeshi film industry chooses to side with critics and masses both, it would seem. Directed by the brilliant Raihan Rafi and produced by Alpha-i Studios Limited, Toofan is a period crime action thriller that sees the beautiful history of Bangladesh back in 90s into a completely different note.

Plot and Characters

Set in the underworld of 1990s Bangladesh, Toofan is the story of a notorious gangster. With the backdrop of organised crimes, suspense and drama, the story is a perfect amalgamation of fiction with reality as it exists within the highly popular season began with events loosely based on early 20th century events.

The role of the protagonist is played by Shakib Khan, who gives depth and intensity to the character. In the narration, the superlative levels of sarcasm are complemented by brilliant performances from Mimi Chakraborty and Masuma Rahman Nabila as they add to the overall complexities of an already lifeless tale. The presence of Chanchal Chowdhury as well, adds huge star power and he makes a cameo extended appearance that just serves to remind you why his endearing presence can really make its mark on screen.

Box Office Success

Meanwhile, the accolade won over not only critical appreciation but also massive commercial success. The fact that the movie managed to earn this much at the box office says two things: people found it, and likely enjoyed it (although not quite as much as critics), and the acting was pretty stunning. So it is very interesting to scope how “Toofan” marked a great run at the box office even while earning approximately 4 crore from multiplexes and an impressive 5 crore from single-screen theatres. The sizable sum shows that the movie has managed to click with every type of audience.

The filmy background of Raihan Rafi has to work out in some manner. Bringing life to the nineties with his extremely perceptive eye and flair for storytelling, Rafi creates an immersive visual and emotional experience. Alpha-i Studios Limited will produce, giving the film crisp and high quality cinematography, seamlessly enough to take part in the overall impact of the film.

All in all, ‘Toofan’ is a categorically recommended movie for any cinemagoer of Bangladesjson culture and sub-genre of crime action thriller. Featuring a story that engages and touches, skillful performances and delicious slices of history, it stands out as one the best films for quite some time.
