A massive opening day doesn’t always guarantee a smooth run. The Toxic box office journey has taken a rocky turn six days in, with the Yash-starrer showing a pattern of steep declines that trade watchers are now flagging as a cause for concern.

A Day-Wise Look at the Decline
Toxic opened huge, crossing ₹112 crore on day one — a number that signaled blockbuster expectations. But the film couldn’t sustain that momentum, dropping sharply from the very next day onward.
| Day | Gross |
|---|---|
| Wednesday (Day 1) | ₹112.25 crore |
| Thursday | ₹39.75 crore |
| Friday | ₹28.25 crore |
| Saturday | ₹26.00 crore |
| Sunday | ₹24.50 crore |
| Monday | ₹8.00 crore |
| Total (6 Days) | ₹238.75 crore |
The Monday numbers, while representing a 67% fall from Sunday, were actually described as an “ordinary” drop given how the weekend trended — meaning the damage could have been worse.
Where the Money Is Coming From
The Hindi version has been carrying much of the film’s box office weight, contributing around ₹4.75 crore (₹4 crore nett) on Monday alone. Territorially, the Hindi Belt leads with ₹136.25 crore, followed by Karnataka at ₹61 crore, APTS at ₹27 crore, Tamil Nadu at ₹11 crore, and Kerala at ₹3.50 crore.
The Bigger Picture: A Costly Underperformance
Despite crossing ₹238 crore domestically, industry trackers are calling Toxic a box office failure relative to its scale and budget. The concern isn’t just theatrical collections — high production costs combined with weak non-theatrical recoveries mean the financial losses could rank among the steepest in Indian cinema history, according to trade estimates.
