Director: Raihan Rafi
Toofan arrived in 2024 as one of the highest-profile action films to come out of Bangladesh in recent memory, anchored by a commanding performance from Shakib Khan and staged with the scale of a full-blown crime saga.
What is Toofan about?
The story follows a man who claws his way up from nothing, navigating a shadow economy of smugglers, rival gangs, and corrupt power brokers until his name becomes synonymous with fear across the city he now controls. Loyalties bend and break as old allies turn into liabilities, and the film tracks how quickly influence built on violence can also become fragile. Director Raihan Rafi keeps the focus on momentum and spectacle, letting the plot's turns land through action rather than exposition.
Cast & crew
Shakib Khan leads the ensemble in the title role, supported by Mimi Chakraborty and Masuma Rahman Nabila in key roles that anchor the story's emotional stakes. Chanchal Chowdhury brings a seasoned character-actor presence to the cast, while Misha Sawdagor, Fazlur Rahman Babu, Shahiduzzaman Selim, and Loknath Dey round out a large supporting bench typical of the genre's big regional productions.
Context & significance
Toofan sits within a wave of high-budget Bangladeshi action cinema aimed at reclaiming audiences from imported blockbusters, and its box-office run made it one of the country's defining releases of 2024. At 145 minutes, the film leans into an operatic scale rare for the industry, with Raihan Rafi directing his second collaboration with Shakib Khan after their earlier hit, giving the production a clear visual identity within the action-crime genre. The film's rating of 7.2 on IMDb reflects a strong reception among genre fans who followed its theatrical run closely, and it helped cement Shakib Khan's standing as one of the region's most bankable leading men.

Toofan streams on K-Time with a Persian dub and Persian subtitles, so viewers can watch in Farsi or follow the original Bangla dialogue with Farsi text on screen.
