Toxic box office collection day 2

According to the trade website Sacnilk, Toxic collected ₹36.4 crore net in India by 10 PM on Thursday. The film has shown 23.9% occupancy across 19,413 shows so far. It is performing better in Hindi than in Kannada, its original language. The Telugu version follows closely, with the collections of the Tamil and Malayalam versions being comparatively tame. This brings the total collections in India to ₹137.5 crore after two days.

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which Toxic was initially supposed to clash with, brought in ₹80.72 crore on its day 2. The first part, Dhurandhar, brought in ₹32 crore. Toxic beat the first part but lagged by a large margin in second-day collections for the sequel to the Ranveer Singh-starrer. Dhurandhar 2 had collected ₹226 crore in two days, with ₹81 crore haul on its second day.

On its opening day, the film had collected ₹101.10 crore net in India and grossed ₹140 crore worldwide. It showed a 56.1% occupancy from 24,579 shows. It had collected ₹55 crore in Hindi and ₹23.30 crore in Kannada. In comparison, Dhurandhar 2 collected ₹102.55 crore on its opening day and ₹43 crore from the premieres. Toxic has the advantage of building momentum now until the weekend despite the negative responses. It remains to be seen if the film sustains momentum in the coming days.

About Toxic movie

Toxic is directed by Geetu Mohandas and produced by Venkat K Narayana and Yash through KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations LLP, respectively. It stars Yash in dual roles as Raya and Ticket, along with Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth. The film was officially announced in 2023 and mounted on a massive budget. The film was criticised for its violence, sensual scenes and lack of emotional depth after its release.

Hindustan Times’ review of Toxic reads, “Yash and Geetu will want you to believe that Toxic is the antithesis of glorifying violent and problematic characters. They want you to believe that this film is about a man who becomes his own undoing. An anti-hero, or an outright villain, who faces the consequences of his actions. But this moment comes after over 3 heroes of babying, coddling and pandering to the whims of a man.”
