Overview
- The film, which opened on Wednesday, Aug 26, posted an India nett Day 1 of Rs 101.10 crore and a worldwide gross of about Rs 140.75 crore according to trade trackers.
- Box office trackers reported a sharp second‑day correction to Rs 36.40 crore nett, a roughly 64% drop driven by lower show counts and a fall in overall occupancy.
- The producers obtained an ex‑parte interim injunction in Bengaluru on Aug 22 that restricts publication of alleged false or defamatory material about the film and the authorised representative Aiplex has since sent legal notices to YouTubers and influencers.
- The numerical audience score for Toxic on ticketing site BookMyShow no longer appears on the film's page, a change that has not been explained and has fuelled online claims that the rating was removed for PR reasons.
- With reported production costs cited at very high levels, the film's weekend performance in the Hindi belt and sustained weekday attendance will determine commercial viability and whether legal and platform moves alter public conversation about the release.
