Overview
- The film opened wide on August 26 with a massive India net Day‑1 of Rs 101.10 crore, giving Toxic an extraordinary start that many outlets reported.
- Daily collections corrected sharply after opening and settled into low single‑digit crore weekdays, leaving the India net around Rs 239–241 crore and the worldwide gross above Rs 320–328 crore.
- Makers released a shorter English‑language version in select Indian theatres on September 4 that trims roughly 17 minutes from the Indian theatrical cut as a tactic to improve mid‑run footfall.
- Small‑budget sleepers such as Hanuman Ansh have outperformed Toxic on some weekdays, showing stronger word‑of‑mouth and taking screens and audiences away from the pan‑India release.
- Industry trackers note the film was positioned as a very costly pan‑India project with widely reported production estimates near Rs 500 crore, so continued weekday weakness leaves theatrical recovery and overall profitability uncertain.
