Yash’s Toxic English Version Releases Today With Shorter Cut

Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is getting a new theatrical release in India today, September 4, 2026, with its English-language version arriving in select cinemas.

The release comes after the film's Kannada and dubbed Indian-language versions opened in theatres on August 26. The English version was originally written and shot alongside the Kannada version but was not initially released theatrically in India.

English Cut Is Shorter

The English version has been presented as a shorter cut of the film.

Its certified runtime is approximately 2 hours, 56 minutes and 52 seconds, compared with more than three hours for the longer Indian-language versions. Reports put the difference at roughly 17–18 minutes.

The shorter edit is expected to provide a tighter theatrical experience for audiences watching the film in English.

Select Indian Markets

The English version is being released in select major Indian markets, including cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.

The film had already received an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification for its English version.

Yash Leads the Film

Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic stars Yash alongside Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Akshay Oberoi.

The film is a period gangster drama and marks Yash's major theatrical return following the KGF franchise.

The English version is particularly notable because the film was actually written and shot in English, rather than being simply dubbed from another Indian-language version.

A New Opportunity for the Film

The English theatrical release gives Toxic another opportunity to reach audiences who prefer watching major Indian films in English.

The makers had already released the English version internationally on August 26, but Indian audiences initially had access primarily to the Kannada and dubbed versions.

With the shorter English cut now arriving in Indian theatres, attention will turn to whether it can attract additional audiences during the film's ongoing theatrical run.

How Did the Delhi Sultanate Begin? The Story Behind the Rise of Turkish Rule in North India

H ow Did the Delhi Sultanate Begin? The Story Behind the Rise of Turkish Rule in North India At the beginning of the 13th century, northern India entered a major new political era. The Delhi Sultanate , which eventually ruled large parts of the subcontinent for more than three centuries, did not appear suddenly. Its origins can be traced to the campaigns of Muhammad Ghori , the defeat of major North Indian powers, and the rise of his trusted commander Qutb-ud-din Aibak . When Muhammad Ghori died in 1206 , Aibak established independent authority over the Ghurid territories in northern India. That year is generally regarded as the beginning of the Delhi Sultanate. India Before the Delhi Sultanate Northern India in the 12th century was politically divided. Several Rajput kingdoms controlled different regions, while powerful states existed in other parts of the subcontinent. There was no single political authority controlling all of northern India. This situation created opportunities for ...
