Moviegoers are saying
Audiences are sharply divided, but the verdict leans harsh: about three-quarters of reviews are negative, with many calling it a "fairy tale for grown ups" that ends up "one long tale of f*ck ups" and some walking out before the end. Yash's screen presence and the lavish, stylish production earn genuine praise, and reviewers call the slick action set pieces "crazy but interesting," yet the writing, pacing, and length wear people down, and the second half is where most patience runs out. Even the warmer reviews describe a film that is "over the top" and "ambitious, wild, unhinged, chaotic n messy," which is a good way to tell whether this kind of excess is your thing.

    Watched Toxic. Felt toxic. Walked out toxic. The fairy tale for grown ups ends up being one long tale of f*ck ups. It is ambitious, wild, unhinged, chaotic n messy. Yash has terrific screen presence, the production value is lavish n stylish, and there are flashes of…

    Too much was happening in the movie. It would have been great as a series instead.
