Mahesh Babu’s Son Gautam Rates Yash’s Toxic
What is surprising many people is that he does not appear to be giving ratings based on the hero or the star’s image.
By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 2 Sept 2026 3:54 PM ISTSuperstar Mahesh Babu’s son Gautam is now getting a lot of attention on social media for a very interesting reason. He has reportedly watched more than 400 movies and has been giving ratings to them in a very honest way. What is surprising many people is that he does not appear to be giving ratings based on the hero or the star’s image.
Gautam has even rated his father Mahesh Babu’s movies without any special treatment. For example, he gave five stars to Pokiri and Okkadu. These movies are considered cult classics, so Gautam feels they deserve the highest rating. But when it comes to Brahmotsavam, he gave only one star. He gave two stars to Vamsi. This has made many people say that Gautam is judging movies based on their content rather than simply giving high ratings because Mahesh Babu is his father.
His ratings for other heroes’ movies are also interesting. Gautam gave five stars to Baahubali 2, which is one of the biggest Indian blockbuster movies. He gave 4.5 stars to Sita Ramam, showing how much he liked the story and emotional content of the film.
However, some of his ratings have surprised fans. He reportedly gave only 0.5 stars to Yash’s Toxic. He gave the same 0.5-star rating to Vijay Deverakonda’s Liger. For Kalki 2898 AD, he gave 2.5 stars.
These ratings have naturally disappointed some Yash and Vijay fans. Fans usually have strong feelings about their favourite stars, so seeing such low ratings may not be easy for them. At the same time, Gautam’s ratings are getting attention because he seems to be following one simple rule: the movie should get a good rating only when the content deserves it.
Gautam’s movie ratings have now started a discussion among cinema fans. Some agree with his choices, while others feel a few movies deserve better ratings.
What do you think about Gautam’s ratings? Did he rate these movies correctly, or were some ratings too harsh? Share your opinion.
