Bengaluru: Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has crossed the ₹200 crore mark in India net collections within five days of its release. The film earned around ₹23 crore on Sunday, taking its five-day India net total to approximately ₹214.10 crore, according to trade estimates cited by multiple reports.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the action drama released in theatres on August 26 and features Yash alongside Nayanthara, Kiara Advani and Tara Sutaria.
Toxic crosses ₹200 crore milestone
Toxic added ₹23 crore to its India net collection on Day 5, its first Sunday. The latest figures pushed the film past the ₹200 crore milestone in just five days.
The film’s India gross collection has reached approximately ₹255.95 crore, while its worldwide gross is reported at around ₹285.20 crore, including approximately ₹2 crore from overseas markets.
The figures are based on trade estimates and may vary slightly across tracking platforms.
Sunday collection sees a dip
Although Toxic crossed the ₹200 crore mark, its daily collections have been showing a downward trend after the massive opening.
The film earned ₹23 crore on Sunday compared with around ₹25.15 crore on Saturday, marking a decline of approximately 8.5%. The film recorded an overall theatre occupancy of about 25.3% on Sunday.
Despite the decline, the strong opening week has helped Toxic reach the ₹200 crore milestone quickly.
Hindi version leads collections
The Hindi version of Toxic has emerged as the biggest contributor to the film’s domestic earnings so far. The strong performance of the Hindi release has helped the film maintain substantial collections despite the decline in daily earnings.
The film has been released across multiple languages, with Yash’s popularity drawing audiences beyond Karnataka.
Strong opening followed by decline
Toxic opened strongly at the box office, but collections dropped from the second day onwards.
The film had a particularly strong opening day, followed by lower figures during the subsequent days. Nevertheless, the initial momentum allowed the movie to cross ₹200 crore India net within its extended first weekend.
The performance comes amid mixed reactions from audiences and critics following the film’s release.
Worldwide collection nears ₹300 crore
With an estimated worldwide gross of ₹285.20 crore after five days, Toxic is now approaching the ₹300 crore mark globally.
The film’s worldwide performance will be closely watched in the coming days as it enters its first full week in theatres.
Yash returns after KGF 2
Toxic marks Yash’s return to the big screen after the blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2.
The film has generated significant interest because of Yash’s return, its large-scale production and the presence of actors including Nayanthara and Kiara Advani.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film presents Yash in a gangster action drama aimed at a pan-India audience.
Mixed response does not stop box office run
While the film has received mixed reactions, its box office performance during the first five days remains significant.
The movie’s ₹214.10 crore India net collection indicates that the film has attracted a sizeable audience during its opening period.
However, the continued decline in daily collections means the coming weekdays will be important in determining whether Toxic can maintain its momentum.
What lies ahead for Toxic?
The next few days will be crucial for Toxic as the film moves beyond its extended opening weekend.
A sustained weekday performance could help the movie push closer to the ₹300 crore worldwide mark and strengthen its overall theatrical run.
At the same time, the decline in daily domestic collections means the film will need consistent audience support to maintain its pace.
Conclusion
Bengaluru: Yash’s Toxic has crossed ₹200 crore in India net collections in just five days, with the film earning around ₹23 crore on its first Sunday. Its India net total now stands at approximately ₹214.10 crore, while the worldwide gross has reached around ₹285.20 crore.
Despite a steady decline in daily collections after its opening, the film has achieved the ₹200 crore milestone during its extended first weekend. Its Hindi version is currently the biggest contributor to its domestic earnings.
The coming weekdays will determine whether Toxic can sustain its box-office momentum and cross the ₹300 crore worldwide mark.
