<h2>WION's review of Toxic</h2><p>According to WION's Shomini Sen, "Toxic tries to be a redemption story, but it gets lost in its own huge scale.

Toxic X review: Netizen calls it 'a complete nightmare'; Yash's gritty thriller gets mixed reactions

<p>Gear up for another powerful freedom fighter saga - and this time, it's the story of India's unsung heroes. Amazon Prime Video today unveiled the first glimpse of The Revolutionaries, its adrenaline-fuelled period drama set against the backdrop of India's freedom struggle.

<p>In 2008, Dolly told NPR, “She got this terrible crush on my husband. And he just loved going to the bank because she paid him so much attention.''</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“It was kinda like a running joke between us — when I was saying, ‘Hell, you’re spending a lot of time at the bank. I don’t believe we’ve got that kind of money.’”</p>

Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand.''</p>

The story is about the surprising Bollywood connection of Dolly Parton's classic hit Jolene, and how its melody inspired two Hindi film songs, including Amitabh Bachchan's Kaala Patthar track.

Even though Dolly Parton never set foot in India, her legacy has quietly echoed through Bollywood for decades. But how? In the West, she is known and loved by millions as the Queen of Country Music. But in India, her timeless tunes have inspired other musicians, leading to creations that made the entire nation groove, even without listeners realizing the original source. So what are these songs? Dolly Parton's Tune Inspired THESE Bollywood Hits Parton's classic and career-defining hit ‘Jolene’ made millions groove around the world. While it was never directly translated into Hindi or any Indian language, its melody inspired Bollywood. And not just in one film, but two. According to music database MySwar, her 1973 anthem Jolene inspired two Hindi film songs. Its iconic prelude was sampled in "Ek Raasta Hai Zindagi" from Amitabh Bachchan's Kaala Patthar (1979). Also read: Did you know? Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You was translated into Hindi Not only that, the tune of the song was also used in "Aaja Aaja Aa Bhi Ja" from Pyaar Ka Saaya (1991). So if you ever loved the tune of these two songs, you were actually grooving to a creation that Dolly Parton made. What was the inspiration? The song that went on to become a classic was inspired by a real woman. She was a bank clerk who had a huge crush on Parton's husband, Carl Dean. The story dates back to the early years of their marriage, and Parton admitted she was jealous, which led to the birth of the song.

From one-bedroom cabin to $450 million net worth: Inside Dolly Parton's rags-to-riches journey

<p>There are very few films that live up to their title, and Geetu Mohandas’ latest directorial venture, Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown Ups, is one of them. The film is more toxic than your red-flag ex and more a tale of horror than a fairy tale, even for grown-ups. Featuring Yash in an all-encompassing role, Toxic numbs you from the very beginning with its over-the-top drama, VFX, and too much screeching. Nothing in the film is subtle; everything and everyone is loud. And with a plot that is hard to fathom, Toxic feels a bit too much- much like its crowded star cast.</p><h2>What’s the plot of Toxic</h2><p>Set in Goa in 1947, Yash plays Raaya, a ruthless gangster who, along with his sister Ganga (Nayanthara) wants to rule over the entire state even as the Portuguese continue to rule in post-Independent India. Raaya either kills people ruthlessly or fornicates. These are the only two jobs that the man knows. At some point, he gets engaged to Rebecca (Tara Sutaria), the daughter of a Mafia don. The relationship is merely a means to climb up the power ladder for Raaya.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As a circus comes to town, he falls in love with one of its star performers, Nadia (Kiara Advani). But loving a man who was orphaned at a young age and who has parental issues is tough. Nadia and Raaya too have a complicated love story. They part ways over a misunderstanding, leaving Nadia with their love child, Ticket. As Ticket grows up, he is consumed by hatred for his father, who now lives in deep guilt and regret. Amid multiple gang wars spanning two decades, the story ultimately culminates in a standoff between the father and son. Both are consumed by hatred and anger and are desperate to kill each other.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Too many characters spoil the plot!</h2><p>I must tell you that the film’s story, written by Mohandas and Yash, is very complicated and hard to keep up. It takes a special kind of patience to understand the film in its entirety and then retell it. They say too many cooks spoil the broth. In Toxic’s case, too many characters spoil the plot! The first half is chaotic and takes ages to establish the story. Too many names are thrown in, and the maker takes huge artistic liberties in creating a world that feels distinctly removed from the society that India was in 1947.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It also doesn’t help that none of them speaks normally in the film. In Geetu Mohandas’ make-believe world, they exchange manufactured dialogues. The atmospheric film is heavy on the eyes and ears, where action sequences are thrown in arbitrarily.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p> </p><p> </p><p>A scene where Yash and Kiara meet for a dinner date (as if it was a thing in 1947 India) at a local pub is soon hijacked by a bunch of Russian female assassins, all dressed as nuns. At some point, they walk in, strip to their bare minimum and start attacking Yash from all sides. He, of course, tackles all of them single-handedly while others in the room run for refuge. No one explains why the women are attacking him and why they are all dressed as nuns!</p><p> </p><p>There are plenty of scenes like these. The second half of the story shifts to Goa 1967 but also has Yash dealing with Chinese gangsters. At some point, the story shifts to a snowy mountain area where gang war looks like a proper battlefield. Who is permitting them to launch bombs in such areas? Where is the army? Why is the younger Yash in a vest and cargo pants while the older one is in an overcoat? Why does a kid keep screaming ‘Daddy?’ Why was this film made? Questions that will remain with me forever, along with the trauma of watching it.</p><h2>Kiara Advani stands out</h2><p>If at all there is something to look forward to in Toxic, it is Kiara Advani’s performance. Among a plethora of actors that also includes the likes of Nayanthara and Huma Qureshi and Rukmini Vasanth, Kiara’s emotional arc as the sad, love-lorn Nadia stands out. Her scenes with Yash serve as the emotional anchor to a crazy plot where killing comes as an easy option for everyone.</p><p> </p><p>I wish I had seen Nayanthara in a meatier role. Her background story is so strong, yet the actress is reduced to playing a sister, enabling her brother throughout.</p><p> </p><p>Huma Qureshi, who is otherwise such a powerful performer, is reduced to playing a woman similar to Cruella de Vil.</p><p> </p><p>Everyone speaks in a deep baritone, trying desperately to sound menacing. But turns out to be more comical than evil.</p><h2>It's a Yash show</h2><p>If one sets aside the absurdities, Toxic is ultimately a Yash show. The man serves as a writer and a producer of the film, and thus it is completely about him. The scenes that have the actor in a double role are well enacted; the actor, especially, is good as the menacing son Ticket, who only seeks revenge. However, the screenplay, which overtly stylises his character Raaya, becomes overbearing after a point in time.</p><p> </p><p>By the time of the climax, Yash’s heavily accented dialogue delivery pierces through your ears and hits your brain, not in a very good way. You try to comprehend what he is saying amid all the screaming and shouting, much like you have spent most of the three hours and twenty minutes inside the hall.</p><h2>Final Verdict</h2><p>Toxic tries to be a redemption story, but it gets lost in its own huge scale. There is simply too much of everything—excessive violence, endless screaming, unnecessary sexualization of female characters, and the gimmick of having two Yashs. Instead of making the movie better, all this over-the-top drama just ruins the story.</p><p>Toxic: A Fairytale For Grownups is now running in theatres.</p>

<p>Dolly Parton died on August 25 at age 80 after a brief illness with cancer. “Known as the Queen of Country Music, she had an incredible career that spanned over six decades. But behind the limelight, Parton also had a beautiful and lasting marriage to Carl Dean, whom she married for nearly 60 years, until he died in March 2025 at the age of 82.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The couple met in Nashville in 1964, when Parton was 18, long before she became a superstar. They married two years later, and unlike Parton, Dean stayed away from the spotlight. He rarely appeared alongside his famous wife publicly, yet their differences did not come between them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Parton once spoke about their bond, saying, "We’re completely opposite, but that’s what makes it fun. I never know what he’s gonna say or do. He’s always surprising me."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/dazzling-dolly-parton-taylor-swift-beyonce-and-others-pay-tribute-to-legendary-singer-1787721430396"><strong>Dazzling Dolly Parton: Taylor Swift, Beyonce and others pay tribute to legendary singer</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>How did Parton meet Dean?</h2><p>They first met in Nashville, when the singer had just arrived in the city. Though her focus at the moment was establishing herself in the music industry, their meeting turned into the beginning of a relationship that lasted for decades.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"My first thought was ‘I’m gonna marry that girl,’” Dean recalled during their 50th wedding anniversary celebration. “My second thought was, ‘Lord she’s good lookin.’ And that was the day my life began. I wouldn’t trade the last 50 years for nothing on this earth.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The couple married on May 30, 1966, in a small ceremony in Ringgold, Georgia, despite Parton's record label encouraging her to delay marriage as it could interfere with the singer's emerging career.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/dolly-parton-dies-at-80-country-legend-s-team-reveals-cause-of-death-1787718940485"><strong>Dolly Parton dies at 80: Country legend’s team reveals cause of death</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Parton had earlier revealed that Dean had no wish to become a part of the celebrity world. "He does not want to be in the spotlight at all. It’s just not who he is. He’s like a quiet, reserved person and he figured if he ever got out there in that, he’d never get a minute’s peace and he’s right about that," she said.</p><h2>Why did Parton and Dean never have children?</h2><p>During a 2014 interview with The Guardian, Parton revealed, "My husband and I, when we first got married, we thought about if we had kids, what would they look like? Would they be tall — because he’s tall? Or would they be little squats like me? If we’d had a girl, she was gonna be called Carla. Anyway, we talked about it, and we dreamed it, but it wasn’t meant to be. Now that we’re older? We’re glad."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/dolly-parton-quotes-words-that-capture-the-wit-wisdom-and-warmth-of-the-iconic-country-music-star-1787713396158"><strong>Dolly Parton quotes: Words that capture the wit, wisdom and warmth of the icon</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Parton also believed that not having children gave her the freedom to dedicate herself to music, business and philanthropy. "Since I had no kids, and my husband was pretty independent, I had freedom. So I think a big part of my whole success is the fact that I was free to work," she told Oprah Winfrey in 2020.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“I didn’t have children because I believed that God didn’t mean for me to have kids so everybody’s kids could be mine, so I could do things like Imagination Library, because if I hadn’t had the freedom to work, I wouldn’t have done all the things I’ve done,” Parton said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Despite not being a mother herself, she was deeply involved with her nieces and nephews and became godmother to Miley Cyrus. Through the Imagination Library, Parton created a strong connection with millions of young readers.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/dolly-parton-dies-at-80-trump-announces-week-long-flag-honour-as-industry-mourns-country-icon-1787713101206"><strong>Dolly Parton dies at 80: Trump announces flag honour as industry mourns</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>When Parton spoke about Dean's death</h2><p>In 2016, Parton and Dean marked their golden wedding anniversary by renewing their vows. Their relationship continued until Dean's death on March 3, 2025.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Parton later opened up about their marriage, saying, "Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After Dean's death, Parton also said, "I am a person of faith, and I truly believe that I’m going to see him again someday. And I see him every day in my memories and in my heart, and in all the things that we used to do and all the things that we’ve built together."</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Following Dolly Parton's death at 80, fans are revisiting her enduring relationship with her husband, Carl Dean. The two met when she was 18, and their marriage lasted for around 60 years until Dean's death.

Dolly Parton died on August 25 at age 80 after a brief illness with cancer. “Known as the Queen of Country Music, she had an incredible career that spanned over six decades. But behind the limelight, Parton also had a beautiful and lasting marriage to Carl Dean, whom she married for nearly 60 years, until he died in March 2025 at the age of 82. The couple met in Nashville in 1964, when Parton was 18, long before she became a superstar. They married two years later, and unlike Parton, Dean stayed away from the spotlight. He rarely appeared alongside his famous wife publicly, yet their differences did not come between them. Parton once spoke about their bond, saying, "We’re completely opposite, but that’s what makes it fun. I never know what he’s gonna say or do. He’s always surprising me."

<h2>Politics remembers Dolly Parton</h2><p>She generally avoided political debates during her lifetime; she had spoken openly about her desire not to divide her audience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/dolly-parton-reveals-why-she-goes-to-bed-in-full-face-of-makeup-since-1980s-649264"><strong>Dolly Parton reveals why she goes to bed in full face of makeup since 1980s</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“I don’t like to get involved in politics, because first of all, I have as many Republican fans as I do Democrats. I don’t want to offend anybody, I have a right to myself,” she told USA Today in 2020. “Like God gave us free will, America gave us free speech, but you’ve got to be responsible for anything you say and do.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Former President Bill Clinton remembered her as “one of a kind,” while former Vice President Kamala Harris praised her career and philanthropic work. Hillary Clinton also spoke about Parton's commitment to literacy, writing, “Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could.”</p>

<p>Parton had built an extraordinary career by collecting Grammy awards, recording several chart-topping songs and becoming a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.</p>

Following the death of country music icon Dolly Parton on Tuesday, the whole entertainment industry and fans from across the globe have paid tributes on social media. She was 80. Her demise was announced by her nephew and longtime head of security, Bryan Seaver, in a video message. "This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven't truly felt it until now," he said. Over the decades, Parton had built a legacy as a performer, songwriter, actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Trump announces national tribute for Dolly Parton Mourning her death, President Donald Trump has announced that American flags will be lowered for a week. "Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest country singers, and far beyond, ever, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will. In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one-week period beginning tonight at 6 p.m. Rest in peace, Dolly! The world loves you. President Donald J. Trump," he posted on Truth Social.

Her songwriting, her singing and her philanthropy were unrivaled in the world of country music and it is hard to imagine living in a world without Dolly." Sir Elton John said he was “shocked and devastated” by the news. "A giant of an artist - unique and irreplaceable, with the kindest heart”. Parton's 9 to 5 co-star Jane Fonda wrote, “I am devastated. I just learned that Dolly has moved on. I know that millions are mourning and I want to say this — more than anyone I have ever known, Dolly will always be with us because she was so present, so powerful, so generous and playful that she is woven into all our lives and hearts forever.”
