After coming back from politics, Big B signed his comeback hit film Shahenshah which was between good and average, but he stsrting falling down in his career path after making some disastrous mistakes. After 1988, Bachchan had 3 disasters in the year 1989. Jaadugaar, GJS,and Toofan. For some weird reason, Bachchan started signing supernatural films which were some of his worst films ever. Even Manmohan Desai's son who directed this Toofan and Allah Rakha didn't get much credit. This and Allah Rakha were disasters. Coming to Toofan, this movie is another typical MKD film like AAA, Naseeb, Mard but those ones were all successful. This movie is far from success. It is story about long lost brothers(Amitabh in a dual role), one becomes a magician and the other a messiah named after the elephant god Ganesh. Well just like Shahenshah except that wasn't Bachchcan's double role, we see Big B play the annoying magician and there we saw him play the annoying cop. Amitabh's Toofan role is the only saving grace. Even the romantic track is so stupid, the snake scenes are crap. Amitabh hams it up as the magician but as Toofan, he is good but his angry young man role is nothing compared to his earlier blockbusters. Looks the the director didn't even do his editing properly which explain the character of Amrita Singh having no name. The character of Meenxai is despicable, she looks ugly in this film. Overall, this is one of the few major craps Desai's son Ketan made. He is a big disgrace for the family, sad really sad.
