Honestly, the way Sidharth hypes up Kiara is goals. The 'Toxic' trailer looks like a proper pan-India event film with that KGF-style scale. Yash and Kiara together? That's a combo I didn't know I needed. Booking my tickets early!

The trailer does look grand, but I hope the story isn't just style over substance. We've seen too many big-budget films that rely on slow-motion shots and loud background music. That said, Geetu Mohandas is a brilliant director, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Let's see!

Kiara Advani in a Yash film? This is going to be epic! The father-son emotional angle with Ticket sounds really touching. Also, that ensemble cast—Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi—is just wow! So proud of the Indian film industry making such big films. 🇮🇳

As someone who watches a lot of international cinema, it's great to see Indian films going all out with pan-India releases in multiple languages. This one genuinely looks like it could put Indian cinema on the global map. Yash is a superstar for a reason!

Sidharth Malhotra's support for Kiara is so wholesome. The trailer is definitely intriguing—love the dark fairy tale vibe they're going for. Best of luck to the entire team. August 26 can't come soon enough!
