The makers of ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’ have released the first song from the film. Titled ‘Tabaahi’, the song gives the audience a glimpse of the much-awaited drama. Featuring Yash and Kiara Advani together for the first time, the music video combines romance, visuals, and emotional impact. Produced and sung by Vishal Mishrawith lyrics by Raj Shekhar in Hindi, the song has also been released in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. The visually stunning music video has instantly become one of the most talked about videos of the year.
Yash and Kiara Advani’s chemistry plays a major role in ‘Tabaahi’
The music video is seen as a romantic canvas, setting up a romantic and romantic story between the leads, Yash and Kiara Advani. To build up the hype, the producers arranged a game exchange the day before, where the host of “Toxic” asked Kiara, “What do you call a forbidden love that occurs during a robbery?” He simply replied, “Tabaahi.”The four-and-twenty-six-minute film sets a serious, philosophical tone from the start, opening with the famous words of the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi: “Beyond misconceptions and virtues, there is a garden. I’ll meet you there.”What follows is a stunning visual made by director Geethu Mohandas. Abandoning the traditional romantic scene, the video uses a vivid visual of Yash and Kiara embracing each other, soaking in the rain in the back seats of vintage cars, driving convertibles on coastal roads, walking along narrow stone paths, and sharing a sneak peek inside a small Ferris wheel atop a small beach house.Yash looks very rugged with long flowing hair, a bushy beard, and black leather jackets, a stark contrast to Kiara’s classic European clothes.
