Yash’s Toxic has taken a sharp turn at the Hindi box office on its second day. After a thunderous opening that positioned the film as one of the biggest Hindi starts for a dubbed release in recent times, the film saw a steep fall on Thursday, August 27, 2026. Its two-day Hindi total now stands at Rs 79.40 crore nett, with the day two slide underlining how strongly audience reception is shaping its immediate run.
Huge Day Two Drop Hits Toxic
The biggest talking point around Toxic right now is the extent of its second-day decline in Hindi. The film dropped by around 56 percent from its opening day, a fall that is hard to ignore for a title that came in with enormous pre-release buzz and Yash’s post-KGF: Chapter 2 momentum.
Film collected 55.40 crore nett on day one yesterday with India gross stood at 120 crore. But today as expected, film dropped big by 56 percent due to poor word of mouth. Film will manage only 24 crore nett today on day two. It will grow marginally tomorrow due to Raksha Bandhan holiday and weekend might manage some sort of hold. But writing is on the wall, film will not survive weekdays and almost certain to end with poor lifetime total.

That opening had given the film a strong launchpad, but the second-day trend suggests the initial rush was not sustained at the same level. With the Hindi market often reacting quickly to audience word of mouth, the day two performance has put the spotlight squarely on the film’s reception beyond fan-driven footfalls.
Raksha Bandhan Could Offer Short-Term Relief
There is still a chance for Toxic to show some recovery on Friday, August 28, 2026, thanks to the Raksha Bandhan holiday. Holiday advantage generally helps evening and night occupancy, especially for a film mounted on this scale and featuring a star with Yash’s pull.
Even so, the current trajectory indicates that the film may need stronger than expected weekend holds to fully stabilise. At this stage, a Hindi weekend total of around Rs 125 crore nett appears to be the ceiling if collections improve over the holiday and Saturday. The real challenge, though, will begin once the holiday period ends and regular weekday trends take over.
