Farhan Akhtar's Toofaan has taken social media by storm. Farhan plays the role of a street fighter who turns into a boxer. The story revolves around his trials and tribulations. And the film is said to be Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's best project to date. While many are calling it a heavy hangover of Priyanka Chopra's "Mary Kom" and Farhan's "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", for many it's the best film of the year so far.
Toofaan stars Farhan Akhtar, Paresh Rawal, Mrunal Thakur, Hussain Dalal, Mohan Agashe, Vijay Raaz, Supriya Pathak, Darshan Kumar and many others. The film has been directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. It also marks the reunion between Farhan Akhtar and Mehra after the successful biopic on Milkha Singh. The film has received mixed reviews from critics.
Shah Rukh Khan shares his review

The film premiered on Amazon Prime on July 16. Let's take a look at what the audience has to say about the film.

Very predictable story line!
One of the few @FarOutAkhtar movies which are a let down! Definitely not worth the hype!

But it's Worth to watch, bcoz of Farhan Akhtar's Acting & dedication
Overall, Inspiring film! Must watch once#Toofan pic.twitter.com/9AOnocmGTT
watched #Toofan for one hour or something and there is one scene where bigotry inside majority community has been debated. They used the word Prejudice, bigot etc for one character who hate Muslims. This is something new to Bollywood.

#Toofan has a predictable story and clichéd narration with uninspiring music. Farhan Akhtar is a beast when it comes to his physique and performance, does his job pretty well alongside Paresh Rawal. The film just lacks a punch in its writing. Average!
