Despite Eid-ul-Azha having ended, Shakib Khan and Mimi Chakraborty's film "Toofan" continues to captivate audiences in theaters across Bangladesh. Directed by Raihan Rafi and produced by Alpha-I Studios Ltd., this film has revitalized the current cinema scene with its compelling storyline and stellar performances.

The film's musical tracks, "Uradhura" and "Dushtu Kokil," have especially resonated with audiences, with the mischievous notes of "Dushtu Kokil" becoming a sensation far beyond Bengal. The song, performed by Bangladeshi artist Dilshad Nahar Kana with lyrics and music direction by Akash Sen, has dominated the YouTube trending list in Bangladesh since its release on SVF's YouTube channel on June 20, just days after the film's premiere on June 17.

Mimi Chakraborty, reflecting on the film's success, noted, "The audience in Bangladesh has received this song very well. I have seen videos of many spectators dancing to this song in theaters in Bangladesh." Her co-star Shakib Khan, who plays a dual role in the film, also expressed his satisfaction with the overwhelming response from fans.

The impact of "Toofan" extends beyond Bangladesh. The film has been released internationally, including in various theaters in Sydney, Australia, distributed by Bangaj Films. It is showing in major cities such as Bankstown, Blacktown, Eastgardens, Mount Druitt, Campbelltown, and Waraong, drawing significant interest from the Bengali diaspora.

The film features a talented ensemble cast including Chanchal Chowdhury, Masuma Rahman Nabila, Fazlur Rahman Babu, Gazi Rakayet, Salauddin Lovelu, and Gausul Alam Shawon. The storyline revolves around the tumultuous life of a gangster in the 90s, a role that Shakib Khan has portrayed with exceptional finesse.

In an interview with the Indian Express, Shakib Khan shared his vision for Bangladeshi cinema, stating, "I have dreamed for a long time, many years ago, I want to see Bangladeshi cinema globally. At first, many people thought that I am talking about words, they are not possible. But what I dreamed of is now happening."

Mimi Chakraborty also praised Shakib Khan's dedication and the film's production quality. "I worked knowing Shakib Khan's movie 'Toofan'. But I never thought that the making of the movie would be so good. This movie has broken decades of records in Bangladesh."

With "Toofan," Shakib Khan has once again demonstrated his star power, cementing his status as a megastar in the Dhallywood industry and bringing Bangladeshi cinema to an international audience. The film's success reflects a growing acceptance and appreciation for Bangladeshi films globally, a trend that both Shakib Khan and his fans hope will continue.
