Rocking Star Yash, who enjoys massive pan-India popularity after the KGF franchise, is gearing up to return to the big screen with his upcoming film Toxic, slated for a worldwide release next month. With decent pre-release buzz around the project, the makers recently unveiled the official teaser to raise excitement. While the teaser created curiosity about the film’s theme and hinted at a gangster-style narrative, it also left a section of the audience slightly confused about the story and tone.
The response on social media has been mixed, and the impact is clearly visible in the first 24-hour performance of the teaser across languages. The Kannada version registered around 7.4 million views with over 240,000 likes. The Telugu version performed stronger with about 11 million views and over 117,000 likes, while the Tamil version clocked around 5.4 million views with close to 83,000 likes. The Malayalam version saw around 2.7 million views and about 40,000 likes. The Hindi version delivered the biggest numbers, crossing 21.9 million views with nearly 380,000 likes in the first 24 hours.
Overall, the Toxic teaser gathered approximately 48.5 million views and over 860,000 likes across all languages within a day. While these numbers are impressive, industry observers note that the teaser did not break any major records, unlike the early expectations set by Yash’s massive fan base and the hype created after KGF. Many fans appreciated Yash’s intense screen presence, but some felt the teaser needed a stronger emotional hook to create a bigger impact.
With the teaser performance now out in the open, all eyes are on the trailer, which is expected to offer more clarity on the story, characters, and scale of the film. Trade circles believe the trailer will play a crucial role in building stronger momentum for Toxic ahead of its theatrical release, as fans across languages wait to see Yash in a powerful new avatar on the big screen.
