Toxic Review: Yash Starrer Disappoints With Too Much Shouting

The much-awaited film Toxic, starring Yash, has finally hit the big screens after a couple of delays. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the movie is set in the 1940s and revolves around Raya, played by Yash, who wants to rule Goa.

The film's teaser, trailer, and songs had received a mixed response from the audience, and unfortunately, the movie itself does not fare much better. The first half of the film is unimpressive, with too much dragging and not enough interesting content.

The movie's plot is centered around Raya's journey, with his sister Ganga, played by Nayanthara, supporting him as they join a gang headed by Salvador. However, the romance between Raya and Salvador's daughter Rebecca, played by Tara Sutaria, is soon disrupted by the entry of Nadia, played by Kiara Advani.

One of the major issues with the film is the excessive shouting by the actors in dramatic and emotional scenes, which can be headache-inducing for the audience. The action sequences, too, are not impressive, except for a well-choreographed hand-to-hand combat scene between Yash and himself.

The cinematographer, Rajeev Ravi, has done a good job of capturing Yash's machismo, making the film a treat for his fans. However, the decision to shoot close-ups in crucial scenes is questionable.

In terms of performances, Yash as Raya is similar to his role in the KGF franchise. The supporting cast, including Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, and Huma Qureshi, also deliver decent performances.

The film's climax twist is impressive, but it is not enough to make up for the rest of the movie's shortcomings. With a runtime of 3 hours and 14 minutes, Toxic can be a boring and unengaging watch.

Overall, Toxic is a disappointing film that fails to impress despite its promising cast and crew. The excessive shouting, dragging pace, and unimpressive action sequences make it a headache for grown-ups.

The film's objectification of Yash is also noteworthy, with the cinematographer capturing his machismo in a way that will appeal to his fans. However, this objectification raises questions about the portrayal of actors in films.

In conclusion, Toxic is not a film that is worth watching, despite its interesting climax twist. With too much shouting, a dragging pace, and unimpressive action sequences, it is a disappointing watch for audiences.
