Toxic Box Office Collection: Yash’s Gangster Epic Refuses to Slow Down

Some films open big and fade fast. Others open big and just keep grinding. Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups belongs firmly in the second camp, and the box office collection numbers rolling in this week prove it wasn’t just hype built on a four-year wait.

Toxic Box Office Collection: The Day-Wise Numbers So Far

Here’s how the film has performed through its crucial first week in India:

The film has now crossed the ₹300 crore mark worldwide, with trade watchers projecting the India net could edge toward ₹250 crore as it heads into its second week, per The Times of India’s box office tracker.

Why the Numbers Matter

Toxic isn’t a small bet. Reported to be among the most expensive Indian films ever made, directed by Geetu Mohandas and led by Yash in a dual role, the film had to clear a high bar just to break even. Its cast — Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth — gave it a genuinely pan-Indian pull, and the opening weekend numbers reflected that scale. The steep midweek drop is typical for big-budget action dramas once the festival crowd thins out, but a Day 7 number still above ₹5 crore signals the film retains solid legs compared to recent Kannada releases.

For context, Yash’s last outing, KGF: Chapter 2, remains one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time, so comparisons were inevitable the moment Toxic was announced. Whether it gets there is still an open question, but the current trajectory suggests a strong second week is very much on the cards.

What’s Next for Toxic

With advance bookings already showing momentum for Wednesday shows — over 1.5 lakh tickets booked ahead of Day 8 — the film looks set to hold reasonably well through its second week, especially if word of mouth around its bold, violent storytelling continues to drive curiosity.
