"A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups" — a period gangster drama about ambition, loyalty, and what it costs the people closest to power.
Toxic is a period gangster film set largely in Goa. Yash plays Raya, a man at the center of a power struggle where the women around him — played by Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth — aren't just supporting characters, but active participants shaping how it unfolds.
Billed as a "fairy tale for grown-ups," it presents itself as a commercial gangster picture on the surface while dealing with moral ambiguity underneath — a hallmark of director Geetu Mohandas' writing.
A period piece set against a gangster backdrop, giving the production its scale — from costume and production design to the film's reported ₹800 crore budget.
Toxic releases worldwide on August 26, 2026. A full, spoiler-safe ending explainer will be published here right after release — check back or bookmark this page.
