Yash’s Toxic has opened with a sensational ₹100 Cr+ nett collection at the Indian box office, marking another historic milestone for the Kannada superstar. The film received superb advances for Day 1, which helped it secure this massive opening total.
Yash Creates History with Consecutive ₹100 Cr Openers
Yash has become the first hero in Indian cinema to score two consecutive ₹100 Cr+ nett opening-day films in India – KGF: Chapter 2 and now Toxic. This back-to-back achievement is unprecedented and places him in an elite league among Indian cinema’s biggest stars.
The ₹100 Cr opening day milestone is exceptionally rare, with only a handful of films managing to achieve it in the history of Indian cinema.
6th Film to Cross ₹100 Cr Opening Day in India
Toxic opened with ₹100 Cr+ nett at the domestic box office, becoming the 6th film to achieve this milestone:
| Film | Opening Day Achievement |
|---|---|
| Baahubali 2 | ₹100 Cr+ Nett India |
| KGF 2 | ₹100 Cr+ Nett India |
| RRR | ₹100 Cr+ Nett India |
| Pushpa 2 | ₹100 Cr+ Nett India |
| Dhurandhar 2 (Incl Premieres) | ₹100 Cr+ Nett India |
| Toxic | ₹100 Cr+ Nett India |
Hindi Version Key to Sustaining Momentum
While the opening day numbers are impressive, Toxic now has a significant challenge ahead with its break-even target of over ₹800 Cr. The film needs to maintain strong collections over the coming weeks to reach this goal.
The Hindi version’s performance will be crucial for sustained momentum. Similar to Dhurandhar 2‘s exceptional Hindi run, Toxic needs strong Hindi belt collections to achieve its targets.
Early indicators are positive – advance bookings for Day 2 show the Hindi version accounting for 60% of the film’s overall bookings in India. If this trend continues, Toxic could see constant numbers in the crucial Hindi markets.
