The visuals grow darker and more provocative - including a graphic intimate moment - before cutting to scenes of Raya chopping off limbs, grating heads and thrashing enemies mercilessly, all while demanding some ‘f***ing manners’.
The final stretch shifts tone with the reveal of Yash’s clean-shaven look. With icy confidence, he throws down the gauntlet, declaring, “I'm home, daddy!"
Fans Declare a March Box Office Storm
The teaser has sparked a wave of largely positive reactions online.
One user commented, "The teaser for #Toxic is simply explosive; my mind is blown away seeing the stunt work and the aura that Yash brings. This film will do wonders at the box office. It will truly be a clash of the titans on March 19. Watch out, Team Dhurandhar... Daddy’s officially home!"
Another wrote, "RIP to whatever movies that are trying to clash with this in March."
"This hype is looking like next level! Wait to see the rolaaaaa Worldwide cinemas are in for a treat! but yeah teaser is full monster vibes #ToxicTheMovie," penned another.
"Another blockbuster from Kannada industry," claimed one.
"King of Indian Cinema Rocky Bhai," wrote another.
Several fans even predicted trouble for Dhurandhar 2, starring Ranveer Singh, which is slated to release on the same day. "RIP TO DURANDHAR-2," proclaimed one.
Critical Voices Join the Conversation
Despite the overwhelming hype, a section of viewers remained unconvinced. "Bro seems like you watched Animal too many times," wrote a user.
"Sad for yash it's coming against Dhurandhar, so you have to lose this battle," wrote another.

A more technical observation read, "Something feels off with the soundscape. The BGM lacks the punch needed to match his aggression or elevate the action, unlike the intensity we saw in the Introduction to Raya teaser. By the final section,the music feels disconnected and wanders in a completely different direction," wrote a third user.
With admiration and criticism colliding in equal measure, Toxic has already ignited a fiery debate - and the battle for March supremacy looks set to be intense.
