#Hyderabad these days be like: 🫠
Peak-summer type heat for a few days ☀️
Sometimes windy 🌬️, sometimes fully humid 🥵
Then suddenly, after a few days, the sky turns completely overcast looking like some BIG RAINS are loading… 🌧️⛈️
But in the end…
Just drizzles/light rains, barely around 5 mm, followed by cooler weather.
Overall, Hyderabad still hasn’t got a proper widespread rain spell so far. 🥲🫠
Waiting for that one solid rainy spell… 🌧️🌧️
#OneWordReview...
#Toxic: DISAPPOINTING.
Rating: ⭐️⭐
Yash is ROCKING in #ToxicTheMovie – he's the heartbeat, the lifeline... Ferocious action, engaging in parts... BUT #Toxic is body beautiful minus soul... Falls flat in the second half... #Yash certainly deserved a better script! #ToxicReview
#Toxic is NOT conventional cinema – you realise that right at the outset... Director #GeetuMohandas introduces you to a world and its characters that appear unusual, unpredictable, and intriguing.
The first half has several highpoints that stay with you – the first 20-odd minutes and, especially, the interval point are standout moments.
Drama, glamour, conflict, and action – #Toxic has it all, and in abundance… The emotional quotient forms the foundation of the first half, but is unfortunately underdeveloped post-interval.
The second half takes the film's graph downhill… The story stagnates, the writing lacks meat, and what you're served are action sequences… and more action sequences.
It's only when the father-son face-off comes into focus that the film begins to grab your attention all over again... The action that follows is spectacular and ferocious... However, the son's track, in particular, may evoke mixed reactions once the reality dawns upon the viewer.
#Yash returns to the big screen after the blockbuster success of #KGF2, and he is simply marvellous... Charisma, intensity, swagger, and screen presence – #Yash delivers a towering performance and commands every frame.
#KiaraAdvani is top notch, especially in the emotional moments... #Nayanthara excels, and her sibling bonding with #Yash – including the flashback portions – keeps you invested.
#TaraSutaria does well, but her screen time is limited... #RukminiVasanth is wasted – an actress of her calibre deserved far better... #HumaQureshi does very well, although her character had considerably more potential.
The background score is electrifying, while the action sequences are ferocious and visually striking... Among the songs, #Tabaahi stands out.
⭐ Final word? #Toxic is a classic case of style over substance... The film rides primarily on #Yash's immense star power, charisma, and popularity – factors that have also contributed to its FANTASTIC start at the boxoffice... The film will need to sustain momentum once the initial curiosity and fan frenzy settle down.
Time Never Pause...
2027 is 4 months away.

And 2007 is now further away than 2040.
Time is moving fast.
So stop waiting for the "perfect time" and start building the life you actually want, now
Time really doesn't wait for anyone ⚡

ఈ సినిమా ట్రైలర్ చూసినప్పుడు ఇది ఒక Gory Thriller కాబోతుంది (like #RamnRaghav) అనుకున్నాను.
రాత్రి ఈ సినిమా చూస్తూ అలా ఒక ప్రపంచంలోకి వెళ్ళిపోయాను. తల్లీ కొడుకుల బంధాన్ని గొప్పగా చిత్రీకరించాడు దర్శకుడు. ఇది థ్రిల్లర్ కాదు. ఇది ఒక గొప్ప ఎమోషనల్ డ్రామా ♥️
First Half... Second half... Interval twist - అలాంటి సాధారణ మీటర్ సినిమా కాదు ఇది. ఈ సినిమా ఒక sweet painful experience 🙏🏻
