Box Office Report: Yash’s ‘Toxic’ Struggles as Momentum Fades Following Steep Monday Drop
The highly anticipated return of superstar Yash to the silver screen has hit a significant roadblock. Directed by Geethu Mohandas, the film Toxic witnessed a sharp decline in its performance on its first Monday, collecting only Rs 4 crore. This figure represents a staggering 70% drop from the previous day, signaling a challenging road ahead for the big-budget production.
After six days in theaters, the total nett collection for the Hindi version of Toxic stands at Rs 118.50 crore. The film, which features a star-studded cast including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria, appears to be losing its grip on the audience, trending even lower than smaller-scale releases like Hanuman Ansh.
A Disappointing Trajectory
Industry analysts describe the film’s current performance as a major disappointment. While high expectations surrounded the project due to Yash’s long-awaited comeback—his first major role in four years—the lackluster reception has stalled the film’s momentum. Market observers suggest that the film is now set to crawl toward the end of its first week, with projections indicating a total run of approximately Rs 125 crore before new releases further crowd the theaters.

Looking Ahead

The box office performance of this latest project serves as a stark reminder of the volatility of the industry, where even the most anticipated star-vehicles can struggle to sustain interest without sustained positive word-of-mouth.
