'Toofan,' directed by Raihan Rafi and starring Shakib Khan, made a significant impact after its highly anticipated Eid-ul-Azha release, five months after its announcement. The film garnered unprecedented attention, with Star Cineplex initially scheduling 22 screenings that quickly expanded to 56 due to overwhelming demand. Mesbah Uddin Ahmed of Star Cineplex highlighted the unprecedented viewership, emphasizing that no other Bangladeshi film had achieved such popularity. Despite generating substantial revenue, the exact earnings remain unclear due to Bangladesh's absence of a formal box office tracking system. This has ignited discussions about the necessity of establishing a reliable system for accurately measuring cinematic success.
