In a dazzling debut at the box office, Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups burst onto the scene with spectacular flair. Thanks to a tremendous turnout in the Hindi markets, this cinematic gem garnered an impressive Rs. 117 crore in India on its first day, claiming the title of the sixth highest-grossing opening day in Indian cinema history.
What makes Toxic‘s achievement even more remarkable is that it stands tall without the backing of a franchise or sequel. Though it didn’t quite surpass the explosive opening of Yash’s KGF Chapter 2which raked in Rs. 127.50 crore, it certainly made its mark. Meanwhile, Allu Arjun’s much-anticipated Pushpa 2 holds the throne as the grandest Day 1 opener, amassing a staggering Rs. 191 crore.
