Overview
- Toxic opened across India on August 26 with an extremely large first day that trade trackers reported at about ₹101 crore India nett.
- The film recorded a steep single‑day fall on Day 6, when trade tracker Sacnilk reported roughly ₹7.45 crore nett and a 67.6% drop from the previous day.
- Coverage since release has shifted to largely mixed to negative critical and audience reaction, with complaints focused on a weak screenplay, excessive violence and uneven execution that weakened word‑of‑mouth.
- Hours after theatrical release, clips of an intimate scene featuring Yash and Kiara Advani surfaced online, prompting cast members to publicly warn about piracy and express sympathy for the crew.
- Because makers have not confirmed budget figures, widely reported estimates of an exceptionally large budget (reported roughly ₹500–1000 crore) leave the film’s longer‑term profitability uncertain given the front‑loaded opening and rapid drop in daily receipts.
