A massive opening is one thing. Holding onto it is another story entirely. Yash’s much-awaited comeback film *Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups* stormed into theatres with a stunning Day 1, only to see a steep fall on Day 2 — and the numbers are raising real questions about its box office journey ahead.

Here’s the breakdown, without the jargon.

## Where the Drop Is Hitting Hardest

The fall isn’t evenly spread. Southern markets are bearing the brunt, with Andhra Pradesh and Telangana seeing an estimated 80% drop, and Tamil Nadu close behind at nearly 70%. North India isn’t far off either, with steep declines reported across the board. That said, it’s not all bad news — Gujarat and Odisha are holding up well, with Odisha posting particularly strong Day 2 numbers, while West Bengal and Rajasthan are also performing solidly.

## Can Toxic Recover This Weekend?

The film has a big test ahead: Raksha Bandhan falls the very next day, followed immediately by the weekend — usually a reliable combination for a box office bounce-back. But early advance bookings are reportedly softer than expected, with Friday advances trailing behind Thursday’s numbers. That’s not the trend trade watchers like to see heading into a holiday stretch, and it’ll be the real test of whether *Toxic* can steady itself.

## Why This Comeback Matters

*Toxic* marks Yash’s first big-screen appearance in four years, following his breakout with the *KGF* franchise. Given the scale of the production and the ensemble cast attached, expectations were sky-high — which makes the sharp Day 2 dip even more closely watched by the industry.
