After Toxic released its introduction video featuring an explicit intimate scene with Yash, many users questioned its necessity. Several viewers felt the moment was excessive and distracting.
The scene quickly triggered debate across social media platforms.
Discussions intensified as users pointed out how such portrayal of masculinity might have faced harsher trolling if directed by a male filmmaker. These arguments gained traction during early reactions. The conversation remained divided in the initial hours.
Since Toxic is directed by Geetu Mohandas, the backlash appeared slower to surface. However, many users have now criticised the content for showing too much in the name of high-profile cinema. The tone of criticism has grown sharper.
Several Reddit users claimed the introduction video was specially curated for promotion. According to these users, the explicit scenes might not be part of the actual film. This claim has added a new layer to the discussion.
Many users felt excluding such scenes from the final cut would be a sensible decision. They believe the content may appear cringeworthy or over the top on the big screen. These opinions continue to circulate widely online.
While some viewers appreciated the bold content, others decided against watching Toxic. A section of users said they would prefer watching Dhurandhar Part 2 instead on March 19. Audience choices now seem clearly split.
As reactions continue to evolve, expectations around the film remain uncertain. Only time will reveal what Geetu Mohandas has planned ahead of Toxic's theatrical release.
