New Delhi: The freshly released Toofan successfully maintained a hype throughout its release time. The film which was supposed to be released in theatres has finally been released on OTT platform Amazon Prime Video due to the ongoing pandemic.

People already had Toofan in their watchlists as the duo Farhan Akhtar and Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra is collaborating for the second time together after the blockbuster hit Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. This sports drama by Omprakash Mehra revolves around the life of a street fighter ‘Azzu Bhai’ from Dongri to becoming a national level boxer.

The movie however received mixed reviews from the netizens where some called it an inspiration film while others found it to be quite cliché and predictable.

One of the users wrote, “Please watch new film Toofan …what a dedication of Farhan sir. The true gem of Bollywood. Your hard work flash sees in the trailer. Keep sharing good vibes. Wish the film should break all records.”

Whereas another wrote, “#Toofaan – A Watchable Sports drama which is so highly predictable & lacked the high points that a sport should have… Farhan Akthar did well & others did neat… The #Toofan isn’t strong as it should be..”

Though the initial reactions to the film aren’t alike 2013 released Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, yet netizens were all in for the Farhan Akhtar and Mrunal Thakur’s fresh chemistry.The rest of the cast including Paresh Rawal, Supriya Pathak Kapur, Dr Mohan Agashe, Darshan Kumar, and Hussain Dalal were also very much appreciated.

  Here are some other Twitter reactions to for Toofan :

Nothing special about toofaan. Almost predictable, cliché and lagging. Technically too not that gud. Personally can’t compared to other boxing movies like MaryKom or Saala Khadoos. Anyway u can watch if you want something for weekend. waiting for #SarpattaParambarai . #Toofaan pic.twitter.com/Yd1GeuTSNu

Typical sports drama, offers nothing we haven’t seen before but it has some soul to it. Can be watched for Farhan Akhtar and Mrunal Thakur’s performances.

#Toofaan [Hindi•PRIME•161m]

Thought I am going to see continuous boxing matches, but the drama in the sub plot kept me going. Solid effort from Farhan Akhtar, Mrunal Thakur was impressive. Superb performance from Paresh Rawal. Nothing new. Once watchable time pass sports drama pic.twitter.com/ufn3xOfBaB

#Toofan Apart from farhan’s powerful performance, this has nothing new to offer in this genre. A lengthy, cliched sports drama. Poor soundtrack too. Disappointing ? pic.twitter.com/sGbBmfGtgd

#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!

If you are expecting highly complex/engaging drama like #BhaagMilkhaBhaag, then #Toofaan is sure to disappoint you. Felt the film tried being a spoof of other films than an authentic boxing film. Watch if you have nothing else to do.

WHAT . A . FILM

Definitely the best film I have seen in 2021 and one of the best sport-oriented films to come out from India! #Toofan pic.twitter.com/A0wvqVvGZi

#Toofaan Disappointed.. This is a very cliché way of narrating a sports movie.. Very boring…? Expected a different type of making… pic.twitter.com/UQpDDXqShV

#toofan Had lots of expectations after the direcetor’s creation of #bhaagmilkhabhaag but feels like a low grade version of #Sultan

The only good thing about #Toofan is that it ends finally after slogging through its cliche ,predictable and boring plot . There are moments where it tried to be a good film , @FarOutAkhtar is on prown again but poor editing , second half spoiled it..

Its the comeback that matters #Toofan Great Performance by @FarOutAkhtar

@FarOutAkhtar just the kind of effort you put into the role is an inspiration. #toofan started my day with it. Can’t thank you enough for this experience…
