Toofan (lit. 'Storm') 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 and Jaya Prada. Eventually, the film ended up as an average grosser.
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 that had claimed the life of his street magician father.
The music for this movie was given by Anu Malik with lyrics penned by Indeevar.
The song "Aaya Toofan" was the last song sung by Kishore Kumar for an Amitabh Bachchan film before his death. It is also the only film where Suresh Wadkar sang for Amitabh Bachchan. Although Kishore Kumar was one of the playback singers in the film, his name did not appear on the credit title which comes at the end of the film, but other singers were all credited.
The song "Haa Bhai Haa" was sampled from the Iranian song "Havar Havar" by Kourosh Yaghmaei which has also inspired the Hindi songs "Jawan Jawan Ishq Jawan Hai" and "Aaya Aaya" from Govinda's Billoo Badshah and Sunny Deol's Aag Ka Gola respectively. The song "Don't Worry Be Happy" drew inspiration from Bobby McFerrin's song "Don't Worry Be Happy".
