Toofan (1989 film)

Uncommon card · No. 188945

Toofan (lit. 'Cyclone') is a 1989 Indian Hindi-language superhero film directed by Ketan Desai. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan in a double role, one as the titular character and the other as a magician, along with Amrita Singh, Meenakshi Seshadri, Pran and Farooq Sheikh. The film was launched in 1987, but was delayed due to production issues and reshoots of the film post the debacle of Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswati (1988), also starring Bachchan and Seshadri. It received mainly mixed reviews from critics and had a very strong opening at the box office, but crashed in the second week due to the release of Elaan-E-Jung starring Dharmendra and Jaya Prada. Eventually, the film ended up as an average grosser.
