India clearly doesn’t have infinity and beyond when it comes to Toy Story. Despite being a globally beloved Pixar franchise, Toy Story 5 has posted a worryingly low opening in India — and the numbers tell a disappointing story.

Toy Story 5 India Box Office — Day-Wise Collections
| Day | Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Friday) | Rs. 1.00 crore |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | Rs. 2.25 crore |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | Rs. 2.75 crore |
| Day 4 (Monday) | Rs. 0.40 crore |
| 4-Day Total | Rs. 6.40 crore |
The film opened to just Rs. 1 crore on its first day and witnessed a steep 60% drop on Monday, adding a mere Rs. 40 lakh — a clear sign that word-of-mouth isn’t saving it either.
Why Is Toy Story Struggling in India?
Let’s be honest — this isn’t entirely surprising. Toy Story 4 (2019) had also opened to around Rs. 5 crore and closed at just Rs. 8 crore in India. The franchise simply doesn’t carry the same emotional pull here that it does in Western markets.
What stings more is the comparison. During similar periods, Incredibles 2 and Frozen 2 both crossed Rs. 50 crore in India. More recently, Inside Out 2, Moana 2, and Zootopia 2 all surpassed the Rs. 30 crore mark — comfortably outpacing Toy Story 5 before it’s even finished its run.
At its current pace, the film may scrape together around Rs. 10 crore lifetime — a marginal improvement over Toy Story 4, but still a significant underperformance.
What This Means for Hollywood Animation in India
India’s animation market is selective. Character-driven original IPs with strong local marketing (Frozen, Zootopia, Moana) tend to connect better with Indian audiences. Legacy franchises like Toy Story — which built their fanbase in the 90s when India’s multiplex culture was still nascent — haven’t successfully transferred that nostalgia into ticket sales.
