After the historic box office run of the first film, audiences were eager to explore more of the world created by Aditya Dhar. Instead, many were disappointed to find that the teaser reused footage from the post-credit scene of the first film.

The preview shows Ranveer Singh taking over Rehman Dakait's throne. His character Hamza is shown as the new boss of the crime world. The teaser also hints at a clash between Hamza and Arjun Rampal's character, Major Iqbal.

The teaser further suggests that the sequel will explore Hamza's backstory. While this added some intrigue, it was not enough to impress viewers who had already seen the same footage in theatres.

Several fans expressed their frustration online. On Reddit, one user commented, "It's a repeat telecast of the post credit scene." Another wrote, "Garam karke thanda chhod diya."

The backlash quickly spilled into a fan war. Fans of Yash began mocking Ranveer Singh's fan base, as Toxic is scheduled to release on the same date as Dhurandhar 2.

One Yash fan commented, "There is only one person who can beat Toxic, and it is Toxic itself." Another added, "Toxic will eat Dhurandhar 2."

The Toxic PR team also weighed in, claiming that pressure would be created to force Toxic to avoid the clash. They alleged that misinformation about a possible postponement could be circulated.

The statement added that a solo release would be a smart business decision. However, if Toxic sticks to the March 19 Eid release, the trade would view Yash as one of the most daring superstars in Indian cinema.

Many viewers also questioned the logic behind releasing post-credit footage as a teaser. This decision has created unnecessary doubts about the sequel's content.

Overall, the reaction suggests that the teaser failed to generate fresh excitement. It now remains to be seen how Aditya Dhar and his team respond to the criticism.
