Toxic Box Office: Yash’s Hindi Version Struggles to Rs 113.50 Crore in 5 Days, Monday Hold Now Critical

Not every big star comeback lands the way it’s supposed to. Yash’s much-awaited return to the big screen after a four-year gap was expected to dominate the box office — instead, “Toxic” (Hindi) is showing a steep decline just five days into its run, and industry watchers say the numbers tell a worrying story.

Toxic (Hindi) Box Office: Snapshot

A Steep and Consistent Decline

“Toxic” wrapped its extended opening weekend at Rs. 113.50 crore in the Hindi market, with Sunday alone contributing roughly Rs. 12.50 crore — an 8 percent drop from the day before. That might not sound alarming on its own, but the bigger concern is the overall trajectory: the film has fallen by more than 75 percent from its opening day to its fifth day, a decline steep enough to put its theatrical run in serious question.

For a film built around Yash’s star power and his first big-screen appearance since 2021, this kind of drop-off suggests the movie simply isn’t generating the word-of-mouth momentum needed to sustain a long run.

Why the Monday Numbers Matter So Much

Directed by Geethu Mohandas, “Toxic” is now heading into its first weekday, and trade watchers say Monday’s performance will be the real indicator of where the film is headed. A sharp Monday drop — typical for films that don’t win over weekday audiences — would all but confirm a short theatrical run. Current trends suggest that outcome is increasingly likely.

The Bigger Financial Picture

Beyond the day-to-day ticket numbers, the concern runs deeper. Reports indicate the film’s production costs were extremely high, and non-theatrical recovery avenues haven’t performed as expected either. Combined with the underwhelming theatrical run, industry estimates suggest “Toxic” could end up among the costliest box office losses in Indian cinema history — a stark contrast to the anticipation that surrounded Yash’s return.

About Toxic and What’s Next for Yash

“Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups” also stars Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria. Despite this setback, Yash‘s next major project, “Ramayana,” is still slated for a grand theatrical release on Diwali 2026 — giving the star a chance to bounce back with one of the year’s most anticipated releases.
