Toofan

Story:

Toofan 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.

Toofan was finally released on 11 August 1989, coinciding with the Independence Day weekend. 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. Eventually, the film ended up as an average grosser and the 12th highest grossing film of 1989.

PLOT

The story revolves around two brothers, one of which has superpowers and is an avid follower of Lord Hanuman. The other character was that of a meek magician who aspires to perform an escape trick which had claimed the life of his street magician father.
