Following an intense four-year hiatus, Kannada superstar Yash has made a triumphant return to the silver screen with his highly anticipated cinematic venture, ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’. Boasting a stellar star cast featuring prominent names like Kiara Advani and Nayanthara alongside Yash, the film generated unprecedented pre-release hype. Proving all predictions right, Toxic has officially set the global box office on fire, making history with a phenomenal opening day collection that has completely rewritten trade records.
‘Raya’ Dominates the Global Box Office
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic features Yash in the fierce and stylish avatar of ‘Raya’, a character that has quickly become a massive pop-culture phenomenon. Fueled by extraordinary advance booking trends across domestic and international circuits, the film’s theatrical trajectory pointed toward a historic opening long before the first morning show commenced.
According to early trade tracking reports by SacNilc, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups raked in an astounding ₹150 crore worldwide on its very first day of release. This monumental milestone marks the biggest opening day collection of Yash’s illustrious career, instantly turning the movie into a global talking point. Despite receiving a mixed bag of reviews from film critics regarding its narrative style, audience turnout has remained completely unstoppable.
Breaking Records and Setting New Milestones for 2026
With this explosive debut, Yash’s Toxic has successfully overtaken major box office heavyweights. Earlier this year, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 set a high benchmark with a massive first-day worldwide gross of ₹145 crore. Toxic has now shattered that milestone, officially claiming the title of the highest-grossing opening day film of 2026. As weekend numbers approach, trade analysts predict that Toxic will continue its aggressive box office rampage, testing new highs across international territories despite varied critical receptions.
