Tabaahi from Toxic was supposed to be romantic and steamy. But, as far as the Hindi audience are concerned, it's raunchy and crass. Yash has been severely trolled ever since the video song was released yesterday.
Here are some of the comments online:
Yash’s character and the look were created to appeal to male audiences. No woman would like this look or find it attractive.
Show me one shot where Yash actually looks in love and not some alpha stoic male batsh*t. That's the male gaze summed up. You can see similar themes in Kabir Singh, Animal, etc. That's why these were critiqued so much by women online.
What the hell happened to this industry, damn it, you guys. Remember our handsome leading men from the late 1990s, early 2000s? They are done for everywhere, in everything, I swear to God, world.
Every 10 seconds, Yash lifts, pins the actress and starts kissing her. How is this a sexy song?
Director Geetu Mohandas knows how to portray obsession without making it look crass or overdoing it.
There is nothing sexy about this song. No chemistry, badly choreographed romance looking odd.
