00:05Yash's much awaited Toxic, a fairy tale for grown-ups has hit theatres,
00:10but the initial audience reaction on social media is turning into a brutal reality chick.
00:17Despite the massive hype surrounding Yash, Kiara Advani, Nainthara and director Geetu Mohandas,
00:24several viewers have openly slammed the film, calling it torture, solace, and a complete nightmare.
00:32The biggest criticism is aimed at the film's storytelling and screenplay.
00:37Several viewers on X have complained that Toxic struggles to hold their attention,
00:42with some describing the movie as exhausting rather than entertaining.
00:47Instead of delivering the high-octane cinematic experience expected from Yash after the KGF
00:53franchise, some audiences feel the film becomes unnecessarily complicated and chaotic.
00:59One social media reaction bluntly described Toxic as torture, while another called watching
01:06the film a complete nightmare. Such reactions underline the frustration among viewers who
01:12walked into theatres with extremely high expectations. Yash's Rocky Bhai image remains one of the biggest
01:19advantages of his career, but according to some viewers, it may also be working against Toxic.
01:27A section of the audience has complained about a noticeable KGF hangover, suggesting that the film
01:33tries too hard to recreate the larger-than-life aura associated with Yash's previous blockbuster
01:39franchise. The problem, according to these reactions, is that Toxic does not offer the same emotional
01:47impact or storytelling strength that made KGF such a phenomenon. Even while attacking the film,
01:54many viewers have separated Yash the actor from Toxic the movie. His screen presence continues to
02:00receive appreciation, with fans and some neutral viewers admitting that Yash remains magnetic whenever
02:06he appears on screen. His action sequences, attitude and larger-than-life presentation have emerged
02:14as some of the film's positives. But for many disappointed viewers, one star performance cannot
02:21rescue a weak screenplay. Director Geetu Mohandas has also become a major target of criticism.
02:29Viewers who dislike the film have questioned their writing and execution, arguing that the ambitious
02:34concept does not translate effectively on screen. The film attempts to create a dark and stylish world,
02:42but several reactions suggest that the style comes at the expense of substance.
02:47The presence of Kiara Advani and Nayantara had added considerable excitement before release.
02:54However, early reactions have also questioned how effectively their characters have been used.
03:01While Nayantara has received appreciation from some viewers, the overall response to the female
03:08characters remains underwhelming among those who dislike the film. Toxic arrived with enormous
03:14expectations, but its early tweeter X reactions are anything but toxic-free, they are straight-up savage.
03:22From torture to complete nightmare, viewers have not held back while criticizing the film's screenplay,
03:30pacing and execution. Yash star power and screen presence have earned some praise,
03:36but for a section of the audience that simply isn't enough. The early verdict is clear, Toxic has
03:43disappointed a section of viewers and the biggest question now is whether word of mouth can save the
03:49film at a film at the box office.
03:51Making is good, the story is good. The story is good, the movie is good, the actor is good,
03:58the movie is good. The actor is good, the movie is good, the next level. Who is in the next
04:02level?
04:03Probably we are going to be next level in Hollywood, I think so. Very good movie actually.
04:08Very good, very good, very good movie. The making is very good and the music is very good. And everything.
04:13I'm very excited, sir.
