Big openings don’t always mean a happy ending, and Yash’s “Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups” is turning into a case study in exactly that. The Hindi version collected Rs. 4.50 crore on its first discounted Tuesday, a modest 12% bump from the day before, pushing its seven-day total to Rs. 123 crore nett. Respectable on paper — but nowhere near what a film with this scale of production needed.

Yash’s return to the big screen after a four-year gap carried massive expectations, and the opening day alone delivered Rs. 50 crore. Since then, though, the drops have been steep and consistent, and the film now faces a tougher test with [Mirzapur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirzapur_(TV_series))‘s theatrical release adding fresh competition to cinemas.

## Toxic: Day-Wise Collections (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 (est.) |
| **Total** | **Rs. 123 cr nett** |

## Why A Decent Number Still Feels Like A Setback

Trade estimates suggest Toxic will likely finish its Hindi run somewhere around Rs. 150 crore nett — not a disaster for a dubbed release, but far short of covering what’s reportedly one of the most expensive productions in recent memory. The real concern isn’t the box office trajectory alone; it’s the mismatch between the film’s massive budget and its non-theatrical recovery potential, which trade watchers say could make this one of the costliest box office misses in Indian cinema history.

Yash’s next big theatrical outing, “Ramayana,” is already lined up for Diwali 2026, giving him a quick shot at redemption. Toxic itself features a stacked cast beyond Yash, including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria.

With Mirzapur now in cinemas and competing for screens, Toxic’s remaining run looks set to taper off quickly — closing a chapter that opened with huge promise but is ending on a far more cautious note.
