Acclaimed filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker has loved the film and compared it with Raging Bull.
FOR ME, all this while, the cinematic textbook of Boxing was #RagingBull Scorsese and De Niro.
Now it is #Toofan Rakeysh and Farhan!
Absolutely a BRILLIANT film!! @RakeyshOmMehra has delivered an INSPIRING film which bridges the religious divide. pic.twitter.com/DQQUeUIYmjโ Ashutosh Gowariker (@AshGowariker) July 16, 2021
Some netizens have called it just average but have praised Farhan Akhtarโs performance.
#Toofan has a predictable story and clichรฉd 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!

Paresh Rawal as Coach Nana and Mrunal Thakurโs character Ananya is also getting praises. But found the film lengthy and slow at times.
One user has tweeted Farhan Akhtar is a mixed pickle of RDB, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Panga, Rocky, Raging Bull and Sooryavansham.

Toofan Review:
Fans are just loving the film. There are many praises for Farhanโs acting, physique and overall performance. Mrunal Thakurโs simplistic act and Paresh Rawalโs serious coach act is also receiving lots of praise.
Also, people think that the length should have been shorter and the film is slow at some points. Predicted screenplay and too much runtime are also the problems according to the fans. Also, music has not been able to generate the buzz.
