Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups may have taken Yash into unfamiliar territory, but the Rocking Star’s unbelievable transformation is receiving strong support from some of the biggest names in Kannada cinema. From Upendra and Kichcha Sudeepa to Rishab Shetty, Rakshita Prem, Ashika Rangnath, Sanvi Sudeep and Vijay Prakash, several members of the Kannada film fraternity have publicly acknowledged the film’s distinct approach and Yash’s performance.
The most interesting aspect of these reactions is the recognition of Yash’s decision to take a creative risk. Upendra described the film as a new experience and praised the passion and hard work invested by everyone involved. His reaction reflected his appreciation for the scale and effort behind the project.
Kichcha Sudeepa specifically applauded Yash for not choosing the predictable path. He noted that repeating the formula of a previous blockbuster would have been easier, but attempting something unconventional requires conviction and courage. He also felt that certain portions of Toxic provide plenty of scope for discussion and interpretation.
Rishab Shetty’s reaction focused strongly on Yash as an actor. He praised the conviction with which Yash has brought the character to life and appreciated the larger-than-life performance required by the role. He also pointed out that a story taking an unconventional route should not automatically be judged as being on the wrong path.
Rakshita Prem celebrated Yash’s transformation as a performer, expressing pride in how far he has evolved as an actor. Sanvi Sudeep was equally emphatic, praising the intensity of his performance and its lasting impact.
Ashika Rangnath highlighted the film’s emotional side, particularly the themes of guilt, trauma and regret that shape the protagonist’s journey. Vijay Prakash looked at Toxic from a cinematic perspective, praising the film for combining powerful performances and human emotions with a gang-war setting.
The collective response from these Kannada personalities gives Toxic an interesting dimension. Rather than focusing only on the film’s commercial scale, they have drawn attention to Yash’s artistic gamble and Geetu Mohandas’ attempt to build a world that moves away from conventional hero-driven storytelling.
Meanwhile, the movie collected 112 Cr net from Hindi alone.
