Yash’s latest action thriller Toxic has wrapped up its first weekend with a worldwide gross of ₹280 Cr in an extended five-day run, though the film’s performance dipped significantly after opening day. Despite a strong start, poor audience reception led to continuous drops throughout the weekend.
Toxic First Weekend Box Office Collections
| Territory | 5-Day Gross |
|---|---|
| Telangana | ₹16 Cr |
| Andhra Pradesh | ₹12 Cr |
| Karnataka | ₹58 Cr |
| Tamil Nadu | ₹11 Cr |
| Kerala | ₹3.5 Cr |
| Rest of India | ₹145 Cr |
| All India Gross | ₹245.5 Cr |
| Worldwide Gross | ₹280 Cr (Estimated) |
Karnataka delivered the strongest territorial performance with ₹58 Cr, benefiting from Yash’s massive fan following in his home state. The Rest of India circuits — driven primarily by the Hindi dubbed version — brought in ₹145 Cr, representing nearly 60% of the All India total. The Telugu states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh contributed ₹28 Cr combined, while Tamil Nadu added ₹11 Cr and Kerala brought in ₹3.5 Cr.
The modest Telugu territory numbers are particularly telling, as Yash had built significant goodwill in these markets following the massive success of the KGF franchise. The underwhelming performance here indicates that the film’s content issues have trumped the star’s established pull.
While the Toxic first weekend delivered ₹280 Cr worldwide, the trends beyond the headline number point to struggles ahead. Advance bookings have dried up almost entirely for Monday shows, indicating steep weekday declines are imminent. The poor recovery rate and declining daily collections signal weak word-of-mouth among audiences.
The Hindi version has shown relatively better performance compared to all other language versions, but even this circuit will need strong weekday holds to help the film reach respectable lifetime totals. With the current trajectory and negative reception, Toxic faces an uphill climb in the days ahead.
