As the anticipation around Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups continues to build, the first song, Tabaahi, from the film was recently dropped by the makers. The song is a romantic track featuring Yash and Kiara Advani in a steamy avatar performing intense, intimate scenes. The track was released on July 8, building the hype ahead of its August release. While many fans on the internet have praised the visuals of the song, a section of social media users expressed dissatisfaction over the chemistry between the leading pair in the track.
Tabaahi from Toxic released
The song was released on July 8 by the makers, including Yash. Launching the song on social media, Yash wrote, “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, There is a field. I’ll meet you there. – Rumi. Tabaahi Out now…,” followed by the links to the songs in different languages.
Tabaahi is set against a grand cinematic backdrop, introducing the audience to the visually rich world of Toxic. The video shows Yash and Kiara in a series of passionate romantic scenes, with emotionally charged performances. The song also includes electrifying guitar sounds and an orchestral score, giving it a destructive feel.
Netizens react to Tabaahi video from Toxic
Reacting to the song, one user wrote, “A Cheap Copy Of Kabir Singh’s Bekhayali”, while another wrote, “What a disaster after KGF. This is what happens when your head swells and your reek of arrogance after one blockbuster and you think you are bigger than everyone else. A movie that is unwatchable for an entire family and especially young kids has and will never do well.”

Go hard Toxic,” while another said, “I just watched this, tbh visuals are so good man, theatre mein kya hi aesthetic lagega.”
Vishal Mishra’s voice is the soul of this song — 10/10. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 The track feels more like an emotional story setup than a chartbuster. It’ll likely hit harder with the film’s visuals ~ #TOXICTHEMOVIE
