The wait is over, and Yash has delivered a bang. Toxic stormed Indian theaters on opening day, collecting an approximate Rs 117 crore — a number that puts it among the rarest of the rare in Indian cinema history.

## A Historic Opening Day

Toxic became only the sixth film ever to cross the Rs 100 crore mark on a single opening day in India (the seventh, if you count [Dhurandhar: The Revenge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhurandhar), which reached the milestone with previews included). What makes this even more remarkable is that the film opened strongly across both North and South India — without a mega push from Telugu states, which typically inflate numbers through benefit shows.

Yash’s home turf, Karnataka, delivered the loudest roar, resetting the state’s opening-day record with Rs 28.50 crore, smashing past KGF: Chapter 2’s earlier benchmark. The Hindi belt was the real showstopper though, contributing a massive Rs 62 crore on Day 1 alone.

## Toxic : Opening Day Territory-Wise Breakdown

| Region | Gross Collection |
| --- | --- |
| Karnataka | Rs 28.50 crore |
| Andhra Pradesh & Telangana | Rs 18.00 crore |
| Tamil Nadu | Rs 6.50 crore |
| Kerala | Rs 2.00 crore |
| Hindi Belt | Rs 62.00 crore |
| **Total India** | **Rs 117.00 crore** |

## What’s Next for Toxic

Despite the record-breaking start, all isn’t smooth sailing. Trade reports point to some irregularities in the Hindi belt’s booking pattern, with advances appearing unusually front-loaded for Day 1 with little spillover — a pattern that doesn’t typically happen organically. Add to that early word of mouth that hasn’t been favorable, and weekend advances that dipped before showing slight recovery.

Still, even accounting for these caveats, a Rs 117 crore opening day cements Yash’s status among India’s top box-office draws. The coming days will reveal whether Toxic can sustain this momentum or if the weekend brings a real test of its staying power.
