August 27, 2026: Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups has made a strong impression at the start of its theatrical run, but the film is already facing a different kind of scrutiny online. The Geetu Mohandas directorial has received mixed reactions from viewers, with social media discussions ranging from praise for its scale and performances to criticism of its storytelling.
The latest conversation centres on BookMyShow, where several users on X claimed that the audience rating for Toxic had disappeared. The posts triggered speculation that the rating may have been removed following a negative response from viewers.
One user alleged that BookMyShow had disabled the film’s rating, while another questioned the platform over its alleged removal. However, these remain social media claims, and there is no confirmed indication that the platform deliberately removed the rating.
Toxic Gets Mixed Reviews as BookMyShow Rating Becomes a Talking Point
The debate has added another layer to the conversation around Toxic, which has divided audiences since its release. While Yash’s screen presence and the film’s visual ambition have attracted attention, some viewers have found the narrative and execution less convincing.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic marks Yash’s return to the big screen after KGF: Chapter 2. The film features an ensemble cast including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth.
For now, the film’s reception remains a work in progress. Its strong star appeal has ensured plenty of attention, but the coming days will reveal whether the conversation around its mixed reviews affects its momentum or simply adds to the curiosity surrounding it.
