The numbers are in for Day 3, and the story remains a difficult one. The Geetu Mohandas directorial earned ₹27.20 crore net on Day 3 across 19,390 shows, taking its India gross to ₹198.10 crore and India net to ₹165.95 crore. While the film has crossed some milestones, the trajectory since opening day has been a steep and concerning one.
The Day 2 Disaster
The story of Toxic’s box-office journey so far is largely shaped by what happened on Day 2. Toxic earned ₹36.40 crore on Day 2, a 64% decline from its opener, while the Hindi version continued to lead its language-wise collections.
A 64% single-day drop is a severe correction by any measure for a film of this scale and budget. For context, the exact budget for the movie has not been officially confirmed by the makers, but according to industry reports and estimates, it is expected to be made on a massive scale of approximately ₹850 to ₹1,000 crore.

The KGF: Chapter 2 Comparison
The shadow of Yash’s own blockbuster past looms large over Toxic’s numbers. The film continues to trail KGF: Chapter 2, with the gap widening sharply after a strong opening and a noticeable drop in collections over the following two days. Yash’s Toxic trails KGF: Chapter 2 by ₹122.55 crore after three days.
That is a significant and growing deficit, reflecting the sharper sustained hold that KGF: Chapter 2 maintained through its opening weekend compared to what Toxic has managed.
Overseas Performance
The film has also earned ₹10 crore from overseas markets on its second day, taking its cumulative overseas gross to ₹26.25 crore. Its worldwide gross had reached ₹190.75 crore after Day 2.
What Toxic Is Up Against
The film, which opened in theatres on August 26, has also continued to attract audiences despite mixed reactions and social media criticism.
The film’s mixed word-of-mouth is playing a decisive role in its box-office trajectory, with audiences divided on whether the film lives up to the KGF legacy that Yash carries into every project.
