- Ram Gopal Varma coined “Dhuroxic,” casting the matchup as realism versus style, describing Dhurandhar as consequence‑driven and Toxic as spectacle‑first.
- The Toxic teaser introduced Yash as Raya and drew heavy online traction, while the Karnataka State Commission for Women asked the CBFC to act on the teaser.
