The first song from Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is finally out, and it's already creating a buzz online. Titled Tabaahi, the romantic track opens with Rumi's quote, "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there,"
While Tabaahi gives fans their first look at the romance between Yash and Kiara Advani, not everyone is convinced by what they saw. Soon after its release, the song sparked a flood of reactions on X (formerly Twitter), with fans sharing sharply divided opinions.
Here's How X Reacted To 'Tabaahi'
A section of X users praised 'Tabaahi' for its visuals, music and Kiara's glamorous look, calling it a "masterpiece," and appreciating its "old movie vibes."

Toxic Tabahi Song has levelled up now with the video format. Nice composition. Kannada lyrics from Yograj Bhat is classy and aesthetic.

Toxic seems like an adaptation of Kannada movie Babruvahana. Hope it beats the record of Babruvahana craze and numbers.
I just watched this , tbh visuals are so good man , theatre mein kya hi aesthetic lagega.

Many, however, were unimpressed with the song, calling it the "worst song.". Some compared it to 'Bekhayali' from 'Kabir Singh'. Several viewers also felt Yash and Kiara Advani shared "no chemistry" and looked "awkward" together.
Boldness overloaded...

This is straight-up trash lyrics are weak, song is eww, and the video looks painfully uninspired. Whoever approved this seriously needs better standards ???? https://t.co/WivDZAw0Qz pic.twitter.com/XfL2yXml81

Seriously, I feel bad for Sidharth Malhotra. He's always been loyal to his wife. He avoids doing unnecessary nude scenes with actresses and has never been involved in any rumors. But look at Kiara

A few users also questioned the song's bold romantic scenes and found the track underwhelming.

What a disaster after KGF. This is what happens when your head swells and your reek of arrogance after one blockbuster and you think you are bigger than everyone else. A movie that is unwatchable for an entire family and especially young kids has and will never do well.
