Dhurandhar: The Revenge, sequel to the December 2025 blockbuster, was set to clash with Yash’s Toxic on March 19. But due to the Middle-East tensions, Toxic was postponed, and the decision now appears to be a strategic masterstroke for the film.
Dhurandhar 2’s Box Office Dominance
Dhurandhar: The Revenge is dominating the box office. The makers of Toxic made the right decision by postponing the March 19 release. The sequel has been setting historic opening records and establishing unprecedented dominance at the box office — no film could have survived alongside Dhurandhar 2 in this environment.
Ranveer Singh’s action spectacle has captured the box office with an iron grip, proving that the March 19th slot belonged to Dhurandhar 2 alone. Any competing release would have faced screen-sharing issues. It would also struggle to grab audience attention.
Toxic Needs More Buzz for June Release
So far, Toxic has not generated strong buzz. March 19th was definitely not an ideal release date for the film, considering its pan-India release ambitions and massive budget. The postponement gives Yash and his team valuable time to build momentum.
Now, the Toxic movie gets a solo release on June 4th, but the makers need to increase the promotional buzz significantly. The extra time allows stronger marketing campaigns. It also helps build the anticipation a pan-India film needs.
The decision to avoid the Dhurandhar 2 clash has given Toxic breathing room — now it’s up to the team to capitalize on it.
