‘Pack a punch’ sounds too cliched for a film that’s based on boxing. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Farhan Akhtar come together again after ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ and it has to be seen if this one can finish as memorably as that sweeping biopic.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Farhan Akhtar collaborated for the first time for the late and legendary sports figure Milkha Singh’s biopic, ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’. It was a sprawling, sweeping portrayal of a resolute, robust athlete with a traumatic yet inspiring life. The director and the actor come together again for another sports drama `Toofaan`, but this time, it`s a fictional telling of a complexed ruffian.
For all those who have seen the trailer, Akhtar’s a ticking time bomb that picks up a fight at the drop of a hat. Mehra edits the trailer and his early potions effectively, with punches and kicks, and the sound of bones breaking and glass shattering. Akhtar is Aziz Ali, who already has muscles and torso to ogle at. He has been suspended from boxing for five years and the reason is mercifully not revealed in the trailer.
