The teaser and the songs of the movie had failed to impress. So, how's the trailer? Read on to find out...Well, the trailer of Toxic is strictly average. Despite being 4 minutes 38 seconds long, it doesn't give out much about the storyline, which is good, but then if we are watching such a long trailer, we would surely expect it to give us something about the movie.It is just an amalgamation of different scenes from the movie and reveals that Yash is in a double role, which might be of a father and son. The action sequences in the trailer are also not great, and it would remind you of Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal.'Sick, Disgusting': Huma Qureshi Slams Sexist Trolls Targeting Kiara Advani Over Toxic Song Tabaahi Female Leads Steal The ShowWhen it comes to performances, while Yash is good, it is the female leads, Kiara, Nayanthara, Huma, and Tara, who steal the show.
