Yash’s Toxic, released on August 26, 2026, arrived amid sky-high expectations, but the film has fallen short of the hype. Its story and execution have failed to strike a chord with audiences, and the latest box-office trend in the Hindi belt has only added to the concerns.
After opening to around Rs. 54.50 crore nett in Hindi, Toxic hit its lowest daily tally so far on day 4, collecting roughly Rs. 14 crore nett. The figure is only around a quarter of its opening-day haul, highlighting the sharp drop after a massive start. The film has failed to capitalise on the weekend momentum, leaving its theatrical run facing a challenging road ahead.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic features Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, Sudev Nair and others in key roles. Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, the film has Ravi Basrur and others as composers.
