Brutal visuals and dark action sequences quickly caught attention across social media platforms.

However, the storyline remains under wraps for now. Audiences will have to wait for the full release to understand the plot. While expectations were high, the overall response to the teaser has been mixed.

A section of the Kannada audience has openly expressed disappointment. Many viewers feel the period action drama appears repetitive. According to them, the visuals and treatment resemble themes they have already seen earlier.

The biggest comparison has been with Marco, especially regarding character presentation and action staging. Similar feedback had surfaced during the first teaser as well. Some viewers clarified that they do not oppose violence, but they expected fresher content.

Another concern raised online is the lack of clarity about the basic premise. Several users pointed out abrupt cuts in the teaser. They felt certain scenes were confusing and difficult to follow.

Some social media users believe Toxic may enjoy strong openings due to Yash's star power. However, doubts remain about its long term performance. A few even suggested that recovering the budget from the Kannada states alone could be challenging.

Trade experts feel Toxic has blockbuster potential only through combined collections across languages. With Dhurandhar 2 releasing on the same day, competition will be strong. Ultimately, the film's content will determine its box office fate.
