Toxic's Giant Opening Collapses in Its Second Week

Steep daily drops driven by new releases and weak hold have left the film's India net around Rs 242–243 crore and put its profit prospects in doubt.

Overview

  • The Yash‑starrer opened on Aug. 26 with an unusually large Day 1 India net of about Rs 100–101.10 crore, creating high early expectations for the multilingual release.
  • Box‑office trackers report a sharp fall after Week 1, with second‑week daily collections plunging and Week 1 India net standing near Rs 239.3 crore before the decline.
  • As of Day 11, outlets cite conflicting Sacnilk‑based figures but place the film's India net between roughly Rs 242.11 crore and Rs 243.09 crore and India gross near Rs 289–290.2 crore.
  • Trade coverage points to new competition — notably Mirzapur: The Movie and the strong performance of Hanuman Ansh — as a key factor reducing Hindi‑version screens and audience footfall.
  • Hindi‑market projections differ from the combined multi‑language totals, with some estimates putting the Hindi lifetime near Rs 135 crore nett and warning the theatrical run may not recoup costs.
