<\/picture><\/div>\nThe film Toxic was released worldwide on August 26.<\/span><\/p>\n Yash-starrer \u2018Toxic\u2019 has been receiving largely negative reactions from audiences, with the film earning disappointing ratings across social media and other online platforms. Amid these reactions, the film\u2019s makers are now facing allegations that its rating was removed from BookMyShow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BookMyShow generally displays audience ratings for released films. Until recently, \u2018Toxic\u2019 reportedly had a 5.5 rating on the platform. However, the rating is no longer visible. Only the like option can currently be seen for the film, while ratings continue to appear for other movies on the platform.<\/p>\n Social media users claimed that BookMyShow removed \u2018Toxic\u2019s\u2019 rating after poor audience reviews. However, neither BookMyShow nor the makers have officially explained why it is no longer visible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An X user alleged, \u201cBookMyShow has disabled the ratings for the film Toxic. It was so bad that it received a 5.5\/10, the worst in BMS history.\u201d<\/p>\n Earned \u20b9101 crore on Day 1, so why flop concerns?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018Toxic\u2019 released on August 26 and earned \u20b9101 crore in India on Day 1, according to Sacnilk. The film had 24,579 shows with 57% occupancy. Despite the strong opening, negative reviews began circulating soon after its release, raising concerns about its long-term box-office performance.<\/p>\n The film\u2019s grand scale and reported massive budget had already created high expectations among audiences.<\/p>\n Massive budget raised expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n Production began in 2023, and the film reportedly carries a budget of \u20b9500-1,000 crore. With such a huge investment, audiences expected strong visuals and an equally impressive story. However, many viewers felt that the film did not meet those expectations.<\/p>\n Multiple delays built more hype<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018Toxic\u2019 was initially scheduled for April 10, 2025, before being postponed for additional visual work. It was later planned for March 19, 2026, then June 4, and finally August 26. The repeated delays kept anticipation high, but some viewers felt the final film did not justify the wait.<\/p>\n Strong cast, but Kiara\u2019s role disappoints viewers<\/strong><\/p>\n Yash stars alongside Kiara Advani, whose comeback after motherhood generated considerable buzz. After exiting \u2018Don 3\u2019, fans expected her role in \u2018Toxic\u2019 to be powerful and memorable.<\/p>\n However, viewers have criticised her limited screen time and lack of impact on the story. Some felt that her character could have been played by another actress without making much difference to the film.<\/p>\n Abundance of female star cast- <\/strong>The film features South superstar Nayanthara, Bollywood star Kiara Advani, trending actress Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, and Rukmini Vasanth. While it can be said that the film has three big Bollywood actresses and a South Indian actress, none of these characters have a story of their own. All these characters are seen only revolving around the lead actor Yash’s character. This casting seems like nothing more than adding big names to the film.<\/p>\n Expectations from the National Award-winning director-<\/strong> The film is directed by National Award winner Geetu Mohandas. Her 2013 film ‘Liar’s Dice’ won a National Award and was also India’s official entry to the Oscars. Given this, there were high expectations from her film.<\/p>\n Continuous negative news related to the film-<\/strong><\/p>\n Accident at pre-event-<\/strong> An accident occurred at the pre-release event of Yash’s film ‘Toxic’ at Malla Reddy University in Hyderabad. 4 people were injured due to the collapse of a heavy sound-box setup, while one girl fainted. Yash was present on stage at the time of the incident. According to a PTI report, the police have registered an FIR against the organizers in the matter. During the event, some people had climbed onto the pole supporting the sound box. During this, the heavy setup suddenly fell down, causing chaos.<\/p>\n Fans created a mess in the theater-<\/strong> A video from Santosh Theater in Bengaluru is going viral on social media. In it, currency notes and a lot of trash can be seen scattered on the floor after the screening of the film.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The film Toxic was released worldwide on August 26.
