Toxic box office collection Day 5: Yash plays lead role in Geetu Mohandas' directorial.

Overview

  • The Yash starrer opened on Wednesday with an estimated Rs 101.10 crore India net first day, one of the biggest single-day debuts for a multi-language Indian release.
  • Daily India net collections fell each day to Rs 23 crore on Sunday, taking the five-day India net to about Rs 214.10 crore and the worldwide gross to roughly Rs 285.20 crore.
  • Critical and audience reaction has skewed negative with repeated complaints about the film's long running time, disjointed screenplay, graphic violence, and treatment of female characters.
  • A theatre clip leaked online within hours of release and the Central Board of Film Certification gave the film an A certificate with no cuts.
  • Industry sources say a reported production budget near Rs 500 crore is not officially confirmed and that the film’s final commercial outcome will hinge on Monday holds, further overseas receipts, and reported non-theatrical deals such as a ZEE5 agreement.
