Toofaan

Toofaan

Strictly Mediocre,the film & its characters are earnest but same old bollywood boxing formula nothing outstanding 2.5 Star ⭐⭐.5 

With huge expectation comes this sports drama , 110% marks for the hardwork put on by Farhan Aktar for his transformation & also for effortless acting as Aziz ali the gangster as well as boxer aka Toofaan . The film as an whole does have few moments of fun,emotion , love and a message being delivered without being preachy, but what fails is the cliche boxing sequences ,an formula thats age old in bollywood  and no more excites the audience , None of the boxing seem adrenaline pumping or power packed they just seem repetative and all you can do is forward them , the film is too long i.e 2hrs 45mins and poor editing is what makes it dragged , the film could have been easily completed off in 2hrs , unnecessary songs pop up every now and then adding to the boredom , and the title track of Toofaan which could pack a punch is added in the end credits which dosent make any sense . First half is pretty much engaging and you kind of go along with the story as it transits but the 2nd half derails and feels very boring & laggy , the chemistry between the lead pair Farhan & Mrunal excels , and is well presented . Coming to acting Farhan is the real Toofaan and has been mind blowing , Mrunal is beautiful with her smile in every frame and has delivered a nice performance, Veteran actor Paresh Rawal Ji has also delivered an amazingly awesome performance all throughout the film as a coach & as a father , Vijay Raaz in the special appearence is decent . All and all the film missed out on making a zabardast power punch impact , just feels like an ordinary sports drama which is average . Climax scenes are the only points where film has scenes which standout or make a damakedar impact apart from that the film dosent liveup to its expectation.
