Tulkalam (trans...Danger)is a 2007 Indian Bengali-language political action film directed by Haranath Chakraborty. The screenplay and story was written by Anjan Chowdhury, before his death. Produced by Pijush Saha, under the banner of Prince Entertainment P4, it stars Mithun Chakraborty, Rachana Banerjee, Rajatava Dutta, Hara Patnaik, Paoli Dam and Amitabh Bhattacharya in lead roles, with Biplab Chatterjee and Ramen Roychowdhury in cameo appearances.[2][3] Inspired from the Tata-nano controversy, it plots the land scams taking place at Haridebpur, where the MLA Abinash Mukherjee and his brother in law Haripada Samanta tries to take over all the lands of the farmers as they made a deal with the U.B company to make factories on the lands. Another leader of the area, Satyabrata Roy plans to undertake the lands by protesting against Mukherjee. Then all on a sudden, a mysterious man, Toofan comes to the village to dismiss the deal and to stop the dangerous situation created by the political leaders.
The soundtrack of the film was composed by Ashok-Raj, while the dialogues were written by N.K Salil. It was a blockbuster at the box office and was praised by the masses.
Mithun Chakraborty's signature dialogues from the film, "Toofan bocchore ek-aadh bar aashe, jokhon aashe tokhon proloy ghote, aar jokhon jay bhogoban tar ostitwo khunje beray" (Toofan always comes once in a year, whenever him comes then creates storms and when goes, the God even looks for him) and "Public er maar, Keoratola Paar" (When the masses beats, body falls on the Keoratola crematorium) became popular among the masses. Coming back in Bengali industry since 2005, it marked the 3rd film of Mithun Chakraborty based on political issues after Yuddho(2005), MLA Fatakeshto(2006) and later followed by Minister Fatakeshto(2007), Tiger(2008) and Ami Subhas Bolchi(2011).
