Here is the complete picture of how Toxic has performed across its first three days, how it stacks up against the year’s other big releases, and what happens next.

Toxic Box Office Collection Day 3: How the Numbers Have Moved

Toxic opened to a thunderous Rs 101.10 crore net in India on day one, a number strong enough to beat several recent releases on opening day metrics. Day two brought a reality check: collections fell 62.8% to Rs 37.65 crore, a steep but not unusual drop for a big ticket opener once the opening weekend curiosity fades and reviews start shaping decisions.

By 10 PM on Friday, day three, Sacnilk had Toxic at Rs 26.60 crore net for the day, taking the three day India total to Rs 165.35 crore. The film was running on 14,746 shows with an occupancy of 21.9% at that point in the day, and the Raksha Bandhan holiday in several parts of India was expected to lift evening footfalls further before the day closed.

Worldwide, Toxic had crossed Rs 190 crore in gross terms by the end of day two and was closing in on the Rs 200 crore mark as day three collections came in, though the fully confirmed worldwide total for day three had not been finalized at the time of this report.

The Day 2 Dip, in Context

A big drop between day one and day two is common for star driven openers, especially when reviews are mixed. What matters more than the size of the dip is whether the film finds a floor and holds there, and Toxic’s day three numbers suggest it has, at least for now. Trade watchers will be looking closely at how the film performs over the weekend, when collections for most films typically rise before dipping again on weekdays.

Language wise, Toxic has performed better in Hindi than in its original Kannada through its run so far. The Telugu and Tamil versions have held up decently, while the Malayalam version has seen a soft response despite releasing during Onam, a period that usually favors Malayalam cinema.

On opening day, the language split was led by Hindi at Rs 55 crore net, followed by Kannada at Rs 23.30 crore, Telugu at Rs 16 crore, Tamil at Rs 5.50 crore and Malayalam at Rs 1.30 crore.

How Toxic Compares to Dhurandhar 2, Border 2, Peddi and Jana Nayagan

Toxic was originally scheduled for a March release, which would have pitted it directly against Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh. That clash never happened once Toxic moved to August, but the comparison still matters. Dhurandhar 2, as it is widely called, collected a massive Rs 339.27 crore in its first three days, well ahead of Toxic’s pace.

Against the rest of the field, Toxic is holding its own. Its three day total of Rs 165.35 crore is ahead of Sunny Deol’s Border 2, which made Rs 121 crore in three days, Ram Charan’s Peddi at Rs 125.50 crore, and Vijay’s Jana Nayagan at Rs 92.75 crore over the same window. On day two specifically, Toxic also trailed KGF Chapter 2’s day two net of Rs 90.50 crore, a reminder of just how large a benchmark Yash’s own franchise set in 2022.

About Toxic, A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups

Toxic is directed by Geetu Mohandas and produced by Venkat K Narayana and Yash through KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. The story is set in Goa during a period when the region was still under Portuguese rule even as the rest of India had gained independence, and follows the rise and fall of a gangster.

Yash plays a double role as Raya and his son Ticket. Nayanthara plays Raya’s sister Ganga, while Huma Qureshi plays his rival Elizabeth. Tara Sutaria, Kiara Advani and Rukmini Vasanth play Rebecca, Nadia and Mellisa respectively.

The film has drawn controversy over its violence and sensual content since its earliest promotional material, and that response intensified once it hit screens. The makers have since disabled audience ratings for Toxic on the ticketing platform BookMyShow, following social media claims that an earlier rating of 5.5 out of 10 had disappeared from the app.

What Happens Next for Toxic at the Box Office

With three days down, the questions that matter most are whether the weekend brings a genuine bump and whether word of mouth stabilizes enough to slow the pace of decline on weekdays. A film with Toxic’s scale and starry cast can recover ground over a festival heavy stretch, but the mixed reviews mean it will need the weekend to work harder than usual. The next set of numbers to watch are the full day three total once all shows are counted, and the day four and weekend figures that follow.
