- Social media users debated the appropriateness of children at adult films.

The theatrical debut of Yash's film 'Toxic' on August 26 has immediately become a subject of controversy. A user on social media platform X reported a child being present during an A-rated screening, sparking widespread discussion about parental judgment and cinema age classifications.
The film, which has received an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), is intended exclusively for adult audiences due to its depiction of violence and mature themes. This incident has prompted concerned comments regarding the potential psychological impact on young viewers and criticisms directed at both parents and screening venues for non-compliance with age restrictions.
In parallel with this controversy, 'Toxic' has garnered predominantly negative reviews from critics and early audiences. The ensemble cast includes Kiara Advani, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Nayanthara, under the direction of Geetu Mohandas. The film's release date was August 26.
