Yash’s Toxic has run into serious trouble at the Hindi box office far sooner than expected. After opening strongly, the film failed to show the customary weekend jump on Saturday, a trend that has sharply altered the trajectory of its first extended weekend. With Day 4 estimates placing the Hindi total at around Rs 115 crore nett, the film is now headed toward a far weaker finish than its opening had suggested.
Saturday Trend Raises Alarm
A big event film is usually expected to gather momentum over its first Saturday, especially when it opens on a midweek holiday corridor or enjoys strong initial curiosity. Toxic has done the opposite. Early Day 4 trends indicate collections in the Rs 19 crore to Rs 21 crore range in Hindi, which takes its four-day total to roughly Rs 115 crore nett.
That flat Saturday performance is the most worrying sign for the film. The absence of growth over the weekend suggests that audience traction has weakened quickly, and that places immediate pressure on Sunday to hold the line before the crucial weekday test begins.
Toxic Box Office Collection:
Hindi:
Day 1: 55.40 cr
Day 2: 24.00 cr
Day 3: 16.00 cr
Day 4: 19.60 cr
Total: 115 crore nett
All India Gross:
Wednesday: 111.75 cr
Thursday: 38.50 cr
Friday: 27.75 cr
Total: Rs. 178.00 crore gross
Hindi Market Still Leads The Film
What makes the trend more notable is that the Hindi belt remains Toxic’s strongest market. The film clearly benefited from the enormous goodwill Yash built with the KGF franchise, and that star pull delivered a robust start. But the current pattern indicates that the opening was front-loaded, with sustained audience momentum proving far harder to maintain.
If Sunday does not deliver a meaningful spike, the film risks dropping into single digits at the start of the week. For a film mounted at this scale and carrying major expectations around Yash’s return, that would place it in an uncomfortable commercial spot despite the healthy opening.
Toxic Cast And Film Details
Toxic is a period gangster drama directed by Geetu Mohandas and backed by KVN Productions along with Monster Mind Creations. The film stars Yash in the lead and features a high-profile ensemble that includes Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Tovino Thomas. The story unfolds in a dark, stylised world of crime and power, with Yash at the centre of the narrative.
The film released in August 2026 after considerable anticipation and was positioned as one of the biggest Indian theatrical events of the year.
Yash’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Before Toxic, Yash’s last theatrical release was K.G.F: Chapter 2 in 2022, a blockbuster that cemented his pan-India standing and emerged as one of the biggest Indian hits of its time. There has been no confirmed Yash OTT release in the period since then, making Toxic his first screen outing in four years.
Looking ahead, Yash is also attached to Ramayana: Part 1, a major mythological feature scheduled for 2026, which remains one of the most closely watched titles on his upcoming slate. That makes the performance of Toxic especially significant, as it arrives in a phase where every move in the star’s career is being tracked closely.
