"Why is everything in the film about lovemaking?"
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is one of the most anticipated films of the year.
The makers of Yash’s pan-India release have finally released the music video of ‘Tabaahi.’
The reactions to the music video so far have been mixed.
‘Tabaahi’ features Yash and Kiara Advani in a romantic ballad showcasing intense chemistry beautifully.
The two characters are shown as obsessed with each other throughout the music video.
They find various creative ways to be with each other across different locations and scenes.
Vishal Mishra has sung and composed the song, bringing his musical talents to the project.
Kiara’s character is lifted by Yash in the first few seconds of the video.
He spots her standing outside a church and sweeps her off her feet romantically.
Next, she is seen in a circus, presumably before her dance performance at the venue.
When Yash spots her backstage, he steals her away and kisses her passionately.
The two make out inside a car during one particularly intense scene in the video.
They continue their romantic moments on the beach as the music video progresses further.
The music video concludes with a scene set in a carnival atmosphere overall.
Yash and Kiara end up on a Ferris wheel. The imagery is dramatic and suggests their passionate connection is all-consuming.
Yash also flaunts his well-defined six-pack abs throughout the music video impressively.
His physical transformation for the role is clearly on display in the romantic scenes.
Many viewers were impressed by the sizzling chemistry between Yash and Kiara in the footage.
A user remarked: “Finally, an intense romance where the intimacy has a soul and isn’t just cheap clickbait.”
Another said: “Tabaahi from Toxic is probably the first asset from the film that I visually found to be sexy.
“It’s raunchy but does not border on being crass. Kiara Advani looks like a dream.”
One commented: “There’s a thin line between looking hot and looking vulgar on screen. Thankfully, Tabaahi stays firmly on the right side of it.”
However, some viewers were not particularly keen about the number of intimate scenes overall.
The raunchy nature of the footage concerned certain audience members about the film’s direction.
One comment read: “What a disaster after KGF.
“This is what happens when your head swells, and you 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.”
One viewer questioned: “Why is everything in the film about lovemaking and cheating so far? Where is the story?”
The film ran into controversy when its first teaser was released to the public.
Many viewers came forward to complain about certain scenes in the initial teaser footage.
Critics dubbed the controversial scenes “grossly obscene, sexually explicit” in their public complaints.
