After KGF, expectations from Yash are sky-high, and Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups arrives as a full-blown event film. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the 3-hour-15-minute gangster epic mounts a lavish, violent world set between 1947 and 1967.
It banks heavily on Yash’s swagger, slow-motion mass moments, and gritty style, but stumbles with an overstretched screenplay, synthetic VFX, and underwritten female characters. It is ambitious, loud, indulgent, and strictly for fans seeking macho spectacle over substance every time.
Swagger takes centre stage; the story loses its way
