Superstar Yash’s highly anticipated action film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, directed by Geetu Mohandas, has encountered massive online backlash following its theatrical release. Despite posting massive opening numbers at the global box office, the pan-India spectacle has faced severe criticism from both audiences and film critics over its chaotic storyline and excessive screen violence. In a surprising development that quickly caught the attention of moviegoers, the audience rating section for Toxic on popular ticketing platform BookMyShow abruptly disappeared. Social media users on X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit were quick to highlight the sudden removal, sharing screenshots showing that the film’s rating had dropped to a low 5.5 out of 10 before the score completely vanished, leaving only the total number of likes visible on the page.
The disappearance of the user score has sparked intense debate online, with netizens accusing the makers and PR teams of attempting to hide poor public reception to prevent a drop in ticket sales. Many moviegoers expressed frustration, calling the move unfair to prospective buyers who rely on authentic platform ratings to decide on their weekend movie plans. Adding fuel to the ongoing controversy, a popular movie reviewer revealed receiving a formal legal notice from the production house over a critical review posted online. Written jointly by Yash and Geetu Mohandas, the period action thriller set in pre-independence Goa also stars a stellar ensemble cast including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria. While trade analysts report strong initial theatrical numbers driven by stardom, the controversy surrounding missing ratings and mounting negative word-of-mouth continues to dominate social media trends.
