Yash’s much-awaited comeback film “Toxic“ just hit a major speed bump. After a solid opening weekend, the Hindi version of the film crashed hard on its first Monday, collecting just Rs 4 crore — a steep 70% drop from an already weak Sunday. With the six-day cumulative now standing at Rs 118.50 crore nett, the film’s box office momentum looks like it’s fading fast.
Directed by Geethu Mohandas, “Toxic” marked Yash’s return to the big screen after a four-year gap, and expectations were sky-high heading into release. But the numbers tell a more complicated story about how the film has actually performed once the initial hype wore off.

Toxic: A Weekday Slide That Tells the Real Story
The steep drop on Day 6 is particularly telling. Weekday collections are usually the truest test of a film’s word-of-mouth, and a fall this sharp suggests audiences aren’t turning up in the numbers the film needed to sustain a long run. Trade watchers note that “Toxic” is now trending even lower than Hanuman Ansh, a considerably smaller film that still managed Rs 5 crore on the same day.
With momentum clearly slowing, “Toxic” is expected to wrap its extended first week at around Rs 125 crore nett before settling into a much quieter run as new releases start crowding theaters.
Day-Wise Collections of “Toxic” (Hindi)
| Day | Box Office |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Total | Rs 118.50 cr nett |
Why the Drop Matters
A film opening at Rs 50 crore carries enormous expectations, and a decline this steep by Day 6 signals that the movie failed to hold audience interest beyond its opening rush. Industry analysts often use this kind of curve to judge whether a film will have long legs or fade quickly — and “Toxic’s” trajectory currently points toward the latter.
For context, strong word-of-mouth hits typically see collections stabilize rather than nosedive after the first weekend. This kind of 70% single-day fall usually reflects lukewarm audience reception rather than simple midweek fatigue.

What’s Next for Yash and “Toxic”
Despite the underwhelming run, “Toxic” still boasts a stacked cast that includes Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria. All eyes now shift to Yash’s much bigger upcoming project — a grand theatrical release of Ramayana planned for Diwali 2026, which is expected to be a far larger box office event. Whether “Toxic” can recover any ground in its second week remains uncertain, but for now, the trend line isn’t in its favor.
