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

Toxic is, unmistakably, a Yash film, and he slips into the character with the ease of someone wearing a familiar suit.

2/5

Purely relying on Yash's aura to the point of draining him dry, Toxic doesn't have an smidgen of storytelling in its body rolling in sex, shock and sounds of bullets fired at anyone and everyone.

4.5/5

With "Toxic," Mohandas has given us cinema of excess in its purest form: a visual extravaganza built to overload your senses, evoking Luhrmann-esque grandeur through the madness of "The Wolf of Wall Street."

4d

An absolutely putrid onslaught of disgusting violence, nonsensical storytelling, and gang feud clichés. This isn't a 'fairy tale.' It's a nightmare for anyone who watches this 194-minute obnoxious and torturous experience that's an insult to cinema.

If you like a lot of violet and destruction, it does have a meaning in the movie

Movie is an exceptional psychological thriller with fabulous visual spectacle throughout. It could do with better storytelling and narration but it still hits the spot!

good cinematic experience with great visuals, good acting by Yash and others and BGM by Ravi Basrur. sometimes the fight sequences are over the top and non-stop but why not.. reminds of John wick and kill bill movies with a little bit of Scarface..only action buffs will enjoy it..Could have been shorter by 30 mins..
