A time when freedom hadn't fully arrived
The story is set in a very interesting time. Even after India got freedom in 1947, Goa was still under Portuguese rule until 1961. 'Toxic' is set in this era of mixed cultures, port smuggling, and power games. It was a time of gangsters, Tommy guns, and intense battles for control over the ports. This turbulent period of the 1950s-60s forms the backdrop for this action-packed entertainer.

Not just action, but emotions too
But 'Toxic' isn't just about gangsters and gunfights. The film also explores deep human relationships. There's a powerful love story, a strong brother-sister bond that is key to the plot, and even a father-son revenge angle. So, fans can expect a full package of action, drama, and emotion.
Word is that Yash might be playing a double role in the film. He has also co-written the screenplay with director Geethu Mohandas. The movie has a star-studded cast including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth.
