As the Geetu Mohandas directorial enters its first week, the film is maintaining a steady momentum despite the challenges of sustaining a massive opening-day debut.

Themes and Controversy
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is a gritty gangster drama set in Portuguese-era Goa. Yash portrays a complex dual role as Raya and his son, Ticket, navigating a dangerous criminal underworld. The film, which earned an ‘A’ certificate from the CBFC, has been a focal point of public discourse.
Beyond its Toxic box office collection, the film has sparked intense debate regarding its depiction of extreme violence and its portrayal of women. Recent critiques, including comments from political figures, have prompted broader discussions about how the Central Board of Film Certification assesses graphic content in future projects. Nevertheless, the film’s box office performance remains largely unaffected by the surrounding scrutiny, proving the enduring star power of Yash at the national level.
