Yash’s ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’ is heading towards its theatrical release with expectations already running high. The gangster drama has received notice because of its bleak universe, thrilling action, and sophisticated themes. Now, its certification details in the UK have added another talking point. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has reportedly cleared the film with an adult rating, giving audiences an idea about the kind of content they can expect from the much-awaited Kannada film.
‘Toxic’ gets strict UK certification with high violence and injury ratings
The BBFC has reportedly given ‘Toxic’ an adult certificate for strong bloody violence and sex. Its classification details also indicate high levels of violence, sex and injury detail. According to The Indian Express, the film has reportedly received five out of five for violence, five out of five for sex and five out of five for injury detail. It has also been rated four out of five for threat and horror, language, drugs, sexual violence and sexual threat, as well as suicide and self-harm.

‘Toxic’ vs ‘Dhurandhar’: Yash film could be more graphic in UK release
The UK certification has also sparked comparisons with ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge,’ one of the recent Indian films to receive a strong adult classification in Britain. ‘Dhurandhar’ reportedly received five out of five for violence and four out of five for threat, horror and language. However, its ratings for sex and injury detail were lower than those reported for ‘Toxic.’ This suggests that Yash’s film could feature more graphic violence, gore and mature material than the Ranveer Singh starrer. The comparison has naturally added to the curiosity around ‘Toxic,’ especially among fans waiting to see how director Geetu Mohandas has presented the film’s dark gangster setting.

A second release date of June 4 was also pushed, and the film is now scheduled to arrive in theatres on August 26. Yash leads the cast, with Nayanthara, Kiara Advani and Tara Sutaria in key roles.
