‘Toofan’ packs theatres in Malaysia with 25 daily screenings

The much-anticipated film “Toofan,” starring superstar Shakib Khan, has finally hit theatres in Malaysia starting August 23, following two previous delays.

After receiving an overwhelming response in markets like the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East, the film is now making waves in Malaysia, where most screenings are reportedly selling out.

The update from Malaysia was shared by Ornil Rabi, the head of marketing for distribution company JTG Enterprise. He revealed that the film will be showcased in 12 theatres starting Monday.

Previously, 25 shows were being screened daily across 11 theatres, with the majority of them running at full capacity. Given that Sunday is the weekend in Malaysia, theatres were completely packed. The audience largely comprises expatriates, making it no surprise that the afternoon showings drew a significant crowd.

“The film’s release was initially postponed on August 2 and August 16 due to the political climate in Bangladesh, but it’s reassuring to see that the film is performing well despite the delays”, he added.
