A Rs. 50 crore opening day promised fireworks. Eight days later, Toxic is limping — and the numbers tell a story far more sobering than anyone at KVN Productions expected.

## Toxic : The Slide, Day by Day

[Yash’s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yash) comeback vehicle after a four-year gap dropped a steep 30% on Wednesday, netting just Rs. 2.75 crore and pushing its 8-day total to Rs. 125.75 crore nett in Hindi.

| Day | Collection |
| --- | --- |
| Day 1 | Rs. 50.00 cr |
| Day 2 | Rs. 21.00 cr |
| Day 3 | Rs. 17.00 cr |
| Day 4 | Rs. 13.50 cr |
| Day 5 | Rs. 13.00 cr |
| Day 6 | Rs. 4.00 cr |
| Day 7 | Rs. 4.50 cr |
| Day 8 | Rs. 2.75 cr (est.) |
| **Total** | **Rs. 125.75 cr nett** |

## What Went Wrong?

The drop from a Rs. 50 crore opener to sub-Rs. 3 crore single digits within a week is brutal by any standard. Directed by Geethu Mohandas, the action gangster drama simply couldn’t hold audience interest beyond its opening rush — and word-of-mouth never kicked in to rescue it. As TechnoSports noted while [tracking the film’s earlier slowdown](https://technosports.co.in/toxics-box-office-run-is-slowing-down/), a big opening clearly isn’t guaranteeing a happy ending here.

## The Real Damage Is Financial

Beyond the theatrical numbers, this one stings where it hurts most: the budget. With high production costs and weak non-theatrical recoveries, trade estimates suggest Toxic’s losses could rank among the steepest in Indian cinema history.

## What’s Next for Yash?

With Mirzapur now occupying screens and eating into remaining shows, Toxic’s run looks all but over — expected to wind up around Rs. 140 crore nett. All eyes now shift to Yash’s next big swing: Ramayana, slated for a grand Diwali 2026 release.
