Toxic recorded another drop on Friday at the Indian box office — even with the Raksha Bandhan holiday working in its favor. The film pulled in Rs. 28 crore approx. on day three, a steep 30% fall from Thursday, pushing its three-day cume to Rs. 178 crore approx. Trade estimates now point to a five-day extended weekend total of around Rs. 225 crore, far below what a film of this scale and budget needed to break even.

Toxic Box Office: Day-Wise Collections
| Day | Gross |

| Wednesday (Day 1) | Rs. 111.75 cr |

| Friday (Day 3) | Rs. 27.75 cr |
| 3-Day Total | Rs. 178.00 cr |
Why The Slide Is Concerning
South India saw an even sharper decline on Friday, with collections nearly halving from Thursday’s numbers. The Hindi version held up comparatively better thanks to the holiday-driven matinee crowds, but even that cushion may not last — Saturday’s advances are running flat with Friday, and walk-up business is expected to soften further.
Beyond the ticket numbers, the real concern is financial. The film’s high production costs and weak non-theatrical recoveries mean the losses could rank among the steepest in Indian cinema history.
