Toxic Overseas Review: UAE, USA, UK, Australia Audiences React To Yash’s Film, Here Are All Its Verdict

Yash’s Toxic gets a divided overseas response. A UAE viewer praises Yash’s mass appeal, while USA reactions question the screenplay and Australia turns critical. A UK viewer, meanwhile, gives the film four stars.

Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has kicked off its world theatrical release, and initial feedback from foreign audience members has started creating a mixed image. While certain overseas fans have appreciated Yash’s performance on screen, action and scale of production, others feel the story is tiring and hard to relate to. Reactions from the UAE, USA, UK, and Australia provide an insight into the varied reception the film is getting.

UAE Audience Commends Yash’s Appeal to Masses

A social media user who, according to Filmibeat, belongs to the UAE has given a very excited half-review of the movie. The viewer has appreciated the attitude, style, and screen presence of Yash and has additionally pointed out the scenes of action and background score. The theater atmosphere at the time of viewing is said to have been extremely charged, indicating that the mass moments of the movie are being liked very much at least by some of the UAE audience. Yash emerges at the forefront of the initial buzz in UAE thanks to his larger-than-life performance.

The first half is pure mass! 🔥🔥🔥
Yash owns the screen with his attitude, style, and insane aura. The action sequences hit hard, and the BGM takes every elevation scene to another level. The theatre atmosphere is absolutely crazy! 💥

Reactions from USA become Polarized

While the reactions from USA have remained largely polarized. At first, a viewer appreciated the first half, hailing Yash's performance as Raaya and the chemistry he shares with Kiara Advani. But at the same time, the reaction criticized the second half of the movie, but complimented the production quality and performance by Yash.

A different viewer from USA found the opening part of the movie very exhausting due to the weak screenplay and lack of connection with the story. Another reaction took this one step ahead, criticizing the movie because of the slow pace, fights, songs, and KGF connection. It must be noted that it is an individual opinion and not the collective opinion of the US viewers.

#ToxicReview – First Half: My Opinion

So far, the film has a good build-up, with #Yash’s screen presence and story narration working well.

The only concern is the long runtime, which slightly affects the pacing.

Excellent visuals and BGM are the core strengths of the film. The… https://t.co/dHTdBuTTMY

#Toxic 4 Prime years wasted by Yash. Movie was terrible. Yash is still in KGF hangover. Self- boasting dialogues, non-sync English dialogues, tiresome fights, terrible songs and snail paced screenplay.

#Toxic – Extremely tiring 1st half 😒😑😑

Literally a slog from the beginning till the interval. A confusing screenplay that doesn’t connect well. The only saving grace so far is the few portions between #Kiara and #Yash.

Painful 2nd half #ToxicTheMovie. @TheNameIsYash is excellent. Production values are top notch @KvnProductions

#Toxic - Stylish Yash, Circus Stunt, Rich Visuals r only positives in this 3Hrs lengthy Soulless Violent Action Drama. Improper Character Sketch, Forced adult scenes, Random Seq, Poor Dialogues & No Emotional Connect-Nothing works. Dir Geethu delivers a Mega Boring Film. WORST!

#ToxicTheMovie Didn’t like it!
1st half had some decent moments but 2nd half is an exhausting watch until climax twist. #Yash is phenomenal, he carried the film.
Wish they concentrated on emotion rather than stylish action presentation.
VFX is very poor🤦🏻‍♂️
KGF meets 1N/Fractured!

Reaction from UK is Very Positive

Contrarily, there was an entirely different reaction from UK. One UK-based viewer gave Toxic four out of five stars, praising the screenplay, performance of Yash and Geetu Mohandas' direction of the movie.

#Toxic 1st Half Decent Watch!

Not as bad as expected. The screenplay feels a little messy in places, but the grand visuals and Yash’s screen presence keep things engaging. A few Yash-Kiara moments work well, while the interval gives the first half a solid boost. BGM and some…

Australia Reaction Takes the Opposite Route

Australian reviewers has not been too happy about this movie, giving it only one star out of five. Their reviews pointed out some flaws with the plot, score, and performances; however, production value was considered good.

#ToxicReview ⭐️1/2#ThreeWordReview Hype goes phuss#Yash is a big star no doubt. Butnhe needs to pick scripts not just which can open big but has a good story

A mix of kgf and a bit of Animal...story is incoherent, music is loud and acting is bad.

Good production value get 👍

International Reception Is Clearly Negative So Far

Thus, the international response on “Yash” at this point seems to be very controversial. The charm of Yash as an actor, visual effects, action scenes and production values have received positive comments, especially coming from viewers who like the mass nature of the film. On the other hand, screenplay, pace, plot consistency and implementation became the major flaws pointed out.
