Trailer: Toofan looks interesting

Toofan looks like it will deliver on its promise of a high-octane sports drama, feels Moumita Bhattacharjee.

After aiming for the theatres for a while, Toofan will finally see an Amazon Prime Video release.

It's a film that should be watched on the big screen to experience its full potential as a sports drama.

Aziz Ali (Farhan Akhtar) is a local gangster, who breaks people and furniture.

He meets the love of his life, played by Mrunal Thakur, who inspires him to use his fighting talent in boxing.

Aziz meets a boxing coach Nana Prabhu (Paresh Rawal), who hesitantly decides to take Aziz under his wing.

Aziz the boxer sees a rise and one fine day, it all comes tumbling down, thanks to a five-year ban.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's direction has always been appreciated and here too, it looks promising.

Farhan, who did a swell job as Milkha Singh in Mehra's Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, look the boxer's part here. One can be sure of a super performance from him.

Mrunal's smile can lift anybody's failing resolve. She plays the driving force behind gangster Ali's journey to become boxer Ali.

Paresh Rawal is always a treat to watch and this film won't be an exception either.

Toofan looks like it will deliver on its promise of a high-octane sports drama of an underdog.
