Forget a quiet opening — Yash’s **Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups** stormed into Hindi cinemas with a number that instantly rewrote the record books. The dubbed version alone pulled in a jaw-dropping Rs 46 crore on Day 1, making history before the weekend even arrived.

## Toxic: A New Benchmark for Dubbed Films

Toxic’s opening day haul of Rs. 45-47 crore nett didn’t just impress — it obliterated the previous record held by Saaho (Rs. 25.85 crore nett) for the biggest-ever opening of a non-franchise dubbed film in Hindi. That’s nearly double the old benchmark, and it places Toxic as the **second-biggest Hindi opener of 2026**, trailing only Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

| Detail | Figure |
| --- | --- |
| Day 1 collection (Hindi, nett) | Rs. 45–47 crore (est.) |
| Previous dubbed-film record | Rs. 25.85 crore (Saaho) |
| Share from PVR Inox + Cinepolis | Rs. 19.25 crore (~42%) |
| 2026 Hindi opener rank | 2nd biggest, after Dhurandhar: The Revenge |
| Director | Geethu Mohandas |

## National Chains Did the Heavy Lifting

A massive chunk of the opening-day gross — around 42% — came from just two national multiplex chains, PVR Inox and Cinepolis. That’s a strong signal of urban, big-city demand, even if some numbers show minor inconsistencies in the overall ratio breakdown.

## Star Power on Full Display

Toxic brings together an ensemble that reads like a who’s-who of Indian cinema — Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria join Yash in this high-stakes gangster action drama. With that much firepower and Yash’s massive fan base fresh off his last outing, the anticipation clearly translated into ticket sales.

## The Real Test Starts Now

Here’s the catch: early Day 2 advance bookings are reportedly showing a dip, and initial audience reaction hasn’t been entirely positive. For a big-budget film like this, sustaining momentum through walk-in crowds over the coming days will be the real deciding factor in its overall box office fate.
