By Murtuza Iqbal

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Toofaan starring Farhan Akhtar in the lead role was all set to hit the big screens in September last year. But, due to the pandemic, the release date was postponed, and a few days ago, there were reports that the film will get a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video.


Well, the reports have turned out to be true, and today, the OTT platform took to Instagram to announce the release date of Toofaan.

They posted, “weather forecast for this summer: an epic blockbuster - #ToofaanOnPrime. teaser will be dropping on march 12. World premiere, May 21. @excelmovies @romppictures @faroutakhtar @mrunalofficial2016 #PareshRawal @hussain.dalal @ritesh_sid @rakeyshommehra @vjymaurya @ozajay @shankarehsaanloy @zeemusiccompany #JavedAkhtar #AnjumRajabali @kassimjagmagia @vishalrr.”

Toofaan will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on 21st May 2021, and the teaser of the movie will be released on 12th March 2021. Apart from Farhan, the film also stars Mrunal Thakur and Paresh Rawal.

It is Akhtar and Mehra’s second film together. The two have earlier worked together in the movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag which was a super hit at the box office and it had also got thumbs up from the critics. The expectations from Toofaan are quite high and let’s hope that the film lives up to the expectations.

Touqir Islam on 'Delupi', Anurag Kashyap’s support and telling stories through cinema

Highlights

  • Bangladeshi filmmaker Mohammad Touqir Islam tells Eastern Eye how floods and the 2024 student-led movement inspired his debut feature Delupi.
  • The film combines real stories from a flood-hit village with fictional characters to explore resilience, political change and social divisions.
  • Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is helping present the film internationally ahead of its UK premiere.

When floods cut off a remote village in southern Bangladesh, its residents attempted to protect their homes by building a dam themselves. Their determination became the starting point for Delupi, the debut feature by filmmaker Mohammad Touqir Islam, which brings together environmental disaster, political upheaval and the lives of ordinary people.

The film began with two events that shaped Bangladesh in 2024. A student-led uprising led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government, while severe floods affected several parts of the country. In an exclusive interview with Eastern Eye, Touqir explained how these events led him to Deluti Union in Paikgachha, Khulna, where he found a story of people relying on one another when outside help failed to arrive.
