How can a fairytale be so hollow? Too much sound, too much fury, signifying very little.

Mohandas and Yash cover the reign in the first half, only to follow with Raya's spiralling in the second half. It's apparent that this is the Raya Toxic should have been based on.

2/5

Compared with the explosive action impact audiences have recently seen in Dhurandhar, Toxic tries hard to deliver the same kind of firepower - but the emotional and narrative foundation isn’t strong enough to match it.

Yash promised a fairy tale, and Geetu Mohandas gives him wings to fly in Toxic - a film that takes a lot of time to decide if it is classy or massy.

2.5/5

Toxic will surely cater to Yash's die-hard fans. But an average moviegoer will be disappointed, or rather overwhelmed, wondering what the whole narrative was about.
