‘Zero organic defenders’: Yash’s Toxic faces backlash as BookMyShow rating disappears
Fans are criticizing the film 'Toxic' for failing to meet expectations, leading to a backlash on social media. Users claim that the ticket-booking platform BookMyShow removed the film's rating after it dropped significantly, displaying only 'likes' instead.
Why it matters
This highlights the growing influence of digital platforms on film reception and the potential for manipulation of public sentiment through rating systems.
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups may have opened big, living up to the hype surrounding it, but the film appears to have fallen short of the promises made by its makers. Several fans have called the film below average, with some even urging others to cancel their tickets. Now, amid the growing criticism, a user on Reddit has claimed that ticket-booking platform BookMyShow has removed the film’s rating and is displaying only the number of likes. The user highlighted the change on Reddit, writing, “Toxic's rating got so bad on BookMyShow, they removed it now.” To support the claim, the user shared before-and-after screenshots of the app. While the earlier screenshot showed the film with a rating of 5.5/10, the current version displays only the number of likes. Ratings for other films, including Spider-Man and Batwara, remain visible.
