TOOFAN| DEDICATED COACH & LOVE CAN TRANSFORM LIFE| MAKING A CHOICE|

Toofan, a story of making a choice to live the right way. It’s an old wine in a new bottle. Inspiring story of how one can match PASSION -PURPOSE -POTENTIAL, to create the best version of one self. While destiny brings many occasions in our life the choice of matching the right people to our journey and finding a purpose in the journey is in our control.

A Rakesh Omprakash Mehra & Farhan Akhtar movie, portrays journey of Aziz Ali aka Ajju (Farhan Akhtar) as a small-time extortionist -local goon to becoming TOOFAN a boxing sensation, Maharastra state champion and eventually national champion.

Though the story has many parallels with Rocky, Sultan, Mary Kom and Chakde, the tough love of coach and doctor transforming a street fighter, is a good blend to watch. Also highlighting the stereo types of community, religious and other misunderstandings that can doom relationships.

The best lessons from the movie are :

1. Be Aware of your skills – Often people around us and also our own instincts give us hints of our own potentials and skills. Thus being aware supports the first step to being aware of choices. In the movie the protagonist understands his ability in strength and energy by virtue of inputs from many people around him and finally makes the choice to pursue boxing.
2. Take the right meaning of feedback & inputs -When people put you down take it as a blow that is going to hone your abilities to where it needs to be, to be in your next level of growth rather than complaining over it. Ali gets feedback and consistent inputs from his coach which is shapes effectively in his boxing skills.
3. Make Love your Strength to build yourself – Till the time Ali used his love as strength he was on the right track, however no sooner he used it as a weakness he was caught in the wrong foot.
4. A dedicated coach can support your Success – Coach played by Paresh Rawal is a very effective portrayal of a Guru’s role in mastery. In fact Coach’s dedication can only be earned through complete surrender. Ali’s mastery of boxing was possible only because of his faith in the coach.
5. When you manipulate others you bring your own FALL -The climax of the film also exhibits a situation where Ali’s old rival tries to manipulate and loses his own face in the circuit.
6. Bringing sorrow to others sometimes acts as a karmic effect on life -In spite of winning his love, Ali goes through painful separation with first love -boxing and eventually his only love- spouse.
