Toxic movie Trailer review (PC- Youtube)
The much-awaited trailer of Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has finally arrived, offering a glimpse into Geetu Mohandas’ dark and gritty gangster dramaThe trailer sets up a Yash vs Yash face-off, with Yash portraying both Raya and Ticket — a father and son on opposite sides of an explosive conflictBeyond this central battle, the trailer showcases the film’s ambitious world-building through high-octane action, thrilling sequences, striking production design and atmospheric visuals. While Yash’s intense avatar and the film’s larger-than-life action have caught attention, the response to the Hindi version of the trailer has been comparatively mixed.
The trailer presents Yash in a ruthless and commanding avatarHis screen presence is one of the biggest highlights, with the actor once again stepping into a larger-than-life action role after KGF: Chapter 2.
However, the Hindi trailer has received a relatively lukewarm responseOne of the criticisms surrounding the Hindi version is the lip-sync, which appears mismatched in several portions and takes away from the impact of some scenesThe Kannada version, meanwhile, has been perceived as more powerful and natural by viewers familiar with the language.
The Hindi dubbing and dialogue delivery also appear to have affected the overall impact of the trailer for some viewersWhile the visuals, action and performances remain major talking points, the dubbing is being seen as an area that could have been handled better.
Among the female cast, Rukmini Vasanth makes an impression with her sharp screen presence, while Nayanthara adds an intriguing and mysterious element to the trailerKiara Advani and Tara Sutaria have also caught attention, particularly for their expressions and screen presence.

Toxic trailer is not that bad At least better than my expectation , Acting was good by all the actors specially Kiara & Father Yash.
But Yash without beard looks weird .
And he should not be allowed to dub for himself in Hindi.
Also who wants to see him nude , whats the need?— Appu (@Apps1474) August 8, 2026

The #ToxicTrailer is an absolute disasterYash is just recycling the same Rocky Bhai persona with the same outdated gangster clichés#ToxicTheMovie #Toxic
Geetu Mohandas completely sold out to a loud, chaotic template.
What a pathetic waste of a massive star cast like… https://t.co/tXlHogf6KS
