Being the son of one of Telugu cinema’s biggest stars might make people expect a little generosity when rating films. Gautam Ghattamaneni, son of Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar, appears to have other ideas. The 20-year-old’s Letterboxd ratings have caught fans’ attention after he gave Yash’s latest film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups just half a star. Yes, you heard that right!

Mahesh Babu's son rates Yash's Toxic half a star

According to India Today, fans came across Gautam’s Letterboxd profile and began sharing screenshots of his film ratings online. The one that attracted the most attention was his verdict on Toxic, which released on August 26: 0.5 out of 5 stars. Directed by Geetu Mohandas and starring Yash, Toxic has generated sharply divided reactions since its release. While its action, visuals and Yash’s screen presence have found supporters, other viewers have been less impressed. Gautam’s rating quickly became another talking point.
