The Yash-led feature Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has officially crossed the ₹200 crore mark in net India collections. Directed by Geetu Mohandas,
the film arrived in theatres with significant anticipation, securing a massive opening day figure of over ₹101 crore. While this initial performance set a high bar, the production has faced a steady decline in daily box office earnings throughout its first five days of release. According to data from Sacnilk, the film’s total net collection in India reached ₹211.03 crore by the end of its fifth day. Despite this milestone, the project has struggled to maintain the momentum established during its premiere. On its most recent Sunday, the film recorded an overall theatre occupancy of 25.7% across more than 15,000 screenings, reflecting a cooling interest compared to its opening performance.
Box Office Trajectory and Language Performance
The film's commercial journey began with a strong ₹101.10 crore on its opening day. However, the following day saw a sharp contraction, with earnings dropping to ₹37.65 crore—a decline of approximately 62.8%. This downward trend persisted through the weekend, with daily figures continuing to slide despite the typical boost expected during such periods. By Sunday, the film added ₹19.93 crore to its net total.A breakdown of the performance by language highlights the film's reach across different regions. The Hindi version remains the primary contributor, accounting for 11,210 shows and earning ₹12.37 crore on Sunday with 24% occupancy. The Kannada version followed as the second-highest contributor, bringing in ₹6.12 crore from 1,294 screenings. Meanwhile, the Telugu and Tamil versions contributed ₹95 lakh and ₹49 lakh, respectively.
Comparative Performance and Industry Context
While Toxic has successfully surpassed the lifetime India net collections of other notable titles, such as Suriya’s Kuruppu, which finished at ₹198.18 crore, and Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, which reached ₹198.22 crore, its current trajectory remains a point of industry observation. When measured against the performance of the star's previous major release, KGF Chapter 2, the contrast is stark; the latter had accumulated ₹430.15 crore in net India collections within its first five days.The film, which features an ensemble cast including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Akshay Oberoi, continues its theatrical run. As it moves past its initial opening week, the focus remains on how the film will sustain its presence in cinemas following the consistent decline in daily revenue observed since its Wednesday debut.
