Toxic’s Box Office Slide Continues Despite Crossing the Rs 100 Crore Mark

Yash’s big comeback film was supposed to dominate the box office all through its opening weekend. Instead, Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups is showing a pattern that’s becoming hard to ignore — a steady, day-on-day decline that even a Saturday couldn’t reverse.

What Happened on Day 3

The Hindi version of Toxic collected Rs. 13.50 crore nett on its third day, marking a 20 percent drop from the previous day. What makes this dip more concerning is the timing — Saturdays typically bring a spike or at least a steady hold for big releases, but Toxic continued sliding instead.

With this, the film’s three-day total has crossed the Rs. 100 crore nett mark, a number that sounds impressive on paper but falls short of expectations for a project of this scale and budget, especially one marking Yash‘s return to the big screen after a four-year gap.

Why the Drop Matters

For a film with such a massive opening day, this kind of consistent decline signals weak word-of-mouth rather than a normal box office rhythm. Trade estimates suggest the extended opening weekend could close around Rs. 110 crore, a number that would have looked dramatically bigger had the film held steady instead of dropping nearly 20 percent daily.

Interestingly, only the Hindi-dubbed version appears to be driving whatever business the film is doing, which adds another layer of pressure on its overall performance across markets.

What’s Next for the Film and Yash

Toxic stars Yash alongside Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria, and is directed by Geethu Mohandas. Whether the film can stabilize during the weekdays remains to be seen, but early trends suggest it needs a serious turnaround to justify its scale.

Meanwhile, fans are already looking ahead to Yash’s next big theatrical outing, Ramayana, slated for a grand Diwali 2026 release — a film many hope will bring back the kind of box office dominance his comeback was expected to deliver.
