The box office clash of Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar 2 and Yash starrer Toxic has been the talk of the town since the last few months. Both films are scheduled to release on the same day- March 19,
during Eid weekend, and will mark one of the year’s biggest box office battles. Huma Qureshi, who stars in Toxic, has now opened up about the films locking horns at the box office. She believes that it is a ‘win-win’ situation for the film industry, and that it is going to be great for the audiences.
Huma Qureshi Reacts To Dhurandhar 2 And Toxic Clash
While speaking with Variety India, Huma Qureshi said, “No matter what I say, I think whichever way I look at it, it is a win for the Indian film industry and it’s going to be great for the audiences. It’s a win-win, the way I look at it and I think it’s going to be like just a fantastic time for movie-going audiences, and there is space for everyone to do well.”
Earlier, director Sanjay Gupta shared his views about the clash of both films. “I will watch both the films, but, unfortunately, both are coming together, because they’re so highly awaited. And they will just eat into each other’s business,” he told Variety India.
He further explained, “It’s like when my movie Kaabil released with Raees. Both films would have benefited if they had been released individually and not clashed. Because we have to take into account that we are not a super-rich country, and our people don’t have money flowing that they can just go and watch two films back-to-back. There are many people who can’t watch two films in one month. It’s unnecessary, but again, the makers probably have their reasons.” He said that while he believes both films will do well, neither will fully capitalize on its individual capacity.
Dhurandhar 2 is directed by Aditya Dhar and produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar under Jio Studios and B62 Studios. The film serves as the direct sequel to Dhurandhar (2025) and concludes the two-part franchise.
Toxic, written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Mohandas, has been shot simultaneously in Kannada and English. Dubbed versions are planned in several Indian languages. The film features Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Nayanthara and Tara Sutaria in key roles.
