Toxic Movie Review

As per Telugu360 review, Yash is extremely stylish and his screen presence is terrific, but style alone can't save the film. Glossy visuals, useless elevations and endless violence - but hardly anything makes you care about what's happening. However, it added that the second half too goes on without any proper story or connection. An overdose of KGF-style treatment with absolutely no nativity or emotional connect.

Hence, the review report said, "All style. Very little substance."

Stay tuned for more updates on box office collections, reviews, and ratings on Toxic.
