A few days ago, the team behind Toxic announced that, due to the ongoing war situation, they would be postponing the film’s release. Toxic was originally scheduled to release on March 19, clashing with Dhurandhar. However, after the change, it is now set to release on June 4.
At the time of the announcement, many believed that the “war situation” was just a facade, and that the real reason was that Toxic did not want to compete with Dhurandhar 2, given its massive hype. Some fans even felt that this made the makers look hesitant or cautious.
However, after the release of Dhurandhar 2, fans have started reconsidering what might have happened if Toxic had released alongside it.
Many viewers have been discussing how Dhurandhar 2 appears to have strong political undertones, with references and elements that suggest alignment with certain ideologies. Some even pointed out the inclusion of clips featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi, suggesting that the film may have had some level of political backing.
Fans now speculate that if Toxic had released at the same time, it could have faced intense online negativity or backlash, possibly from politically motivated groups or social media ecosystems aligned with certain viewpoints.
Some believe the film might have been heavily trolled, faced coordinated criticism, or even encountered challenges related to its release or censorship.
Fans have observed similar patterns in the past, where certain films have faced heightened scrutiny, online campaigns, or backlash driven by political or ideological narratives.
As a result, many are now praising Yash and the makers of Toxic for postponing the release, suggesting that it may have helped the film avoid unnecessary controversy and pressure.
They also feel that with the new release date, both films will now have a fair chance to be evaluated on their own merits, rather than being directly compared or caught in external narratives.
