Yash's Toxic Teaser Draws Mixed Reactions; First Half Review Highlights Lengthy Pace
The teaser for Yash's film Toxic, directed by Geetu Mohandas, was released to mixed reactions, criticized for lacking female lead appearances despite featuring five prominent actresses. The film, set for release on March 19, 2026, is a Kannada production with pan-India dubbed versions. The first half of Toxic, recently released, has been described as lengthy with underwhelming action and emotional scenes, though female leads like Huma Qureshi and Kiara Advani receive positive mentions. The movie reportedly improves slightly before the interval.
