Yash’s highly anticipated film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is just around the corner. The movie has created a massive buzz among audiences, with fans eagerly waiting to witness the spectacle helmed by Geetu Mohandas and headlined by Yash. From the first look to the trailer, one thing that has remained clear to the audience is that Toxic promises to be a roller-coaster ride packed with every shade of emotion, including love, lust, revenge, and action, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. Ahead of its release, the Toxic first review is also out, offering a sneak peek into Yash’s gangster world. Scroll down to read the review in detail.
What is Toxic first review?
The expectations for Yash’s Toxic are soaring high. The movie is set to release on August 26, 2026. Ahead of its release, the CBFC has cleared the movie with an ‘A’ certification and no cuts. This comes as a surprise to audiences, given that the first look of Toxic featured some raunchy scenes, due to which the film was embroiled in controversies.
Early reviews are giving mixed opinions about Yash’s movie. The film is reportedly heavily driven by its storyline and demands the audience’s full attention to grasp its depth and nuances. Meanwhile, the romantic chemistry between Yash and Kiara Advani is said to be one of the major highlights, particularly for younger audiences.
Coming to the first review of Toxic, film critic Umair Sandhu, who is known for sharing his reviews ahead of a movie’s theatrical release, has called the Yash-starrer a “dull and cheap copy of Animal.” The scathing review comes as a surprise, especially after Sandhu had earlier described the film’s trailer as a “blockbuster.”
He claims that Yash taking on multiple responsibilities, including the story, direction and production, could be the reason behind the film’s alleged failure. Sandhu has awarded Toxic just 2 stars. However, given the contrasting opinions surrounding the film, audiences may want to wait for its theatrical release before drawing any conclusions.
A clearer picture will emerge once audiences watch the film. Although the movie has generated massive hype among audiences, it remains to be seen how well it lives up to expectations.
