Quotes
The Free Press Journal reviewer
A reviewer for The Free Press Journal who assessed Toxic.
“Overall, Toxic had the potential to be a better film, but the weak screenplay and direction, no emotional connection, and the length of the movie make this Yash starrer an unbearable watch. So, you can skip it!”
