The highly anticipated pan-India action drama Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, starring Yash and Kiara Advani, is currently facing turbulent times at the domestic box office. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film was expected to rewrite box office records following Yash’s massive success with the KGF franchise. However, as the film navigates its second weekend, the numbers indicate a severe struggle.
Despite witnessing a slight upward trend on its second Saturday, Toxic is finding it increasingly difficult to sustain momentum, especially when weighed against its reported massive ₹500 crore production budget. Let’s delve into the detailed Day 11 box office breakdown, worldwide gross, and the challenges the film is currently facing.
Day 11 Box Office Breakdown: A 34% Saturday Jump
Weekends are traditionally the strongest period for big-ticket theatrical releases, but Toxic is currently failing to secure the massive weekend jumps required to reach a safe zone.
According to industry trackers, Toxic collected an estimated ₹2.28 crore net in India on its 11th day (second Saturday). While this marks a 34% growth compared to its disastrous Day 10 (second Friday) earnings of roughly ₹1.75 crore, the overall figures remain alarmingly low for a film of this scale. The slight Saturday uptick was primarily driven by evening and night shows in the Kannada and Hindi circuits, though occupancy rates remained underwhelming across major multiplexes.
With the addition of the Day 11 numbers, the total India net collection for Toxic currently stands at ₹243.33 crore. Meanwhile, the domestic gross collection has reached approximately ₹290.50 crore.
Worldwide Collection: Crossing the ₹333 Crore Mark
While the domestic run is slowing down significantly, the film has managed to pull in decent numbers from international territories. On Day 11, Toxic added roughly ₹75 lakhs from overseas markets, lifting its total international gross to ₹44 crore.
Combining the domestic and overseas figures, the worldwide gross collection for Toxic has reached ₹334.50 crore. Although crossing the ₹333 crore global milestone is a commendable feat, the film’s staggering ₹500 crore budget makes the road to profitability exceptionally steep.
The Road Ahead: Can Toxic Survive the Competition?
The survival of Toxic at the box office is currently threatened by two major factors: negative word-of-mouth and fierce competition. The dark, slow-burn narrative hasn’t resonated well with the hardcore mass audience expecting a typical high-octane action entertainer.
Furthermore, the box office landscape has grown incredibly hostile. The newly released cinematic behemoth Mirzapur: The Movie has completely hijacked the action-drama demographic, while the sleeper-hit devotional film Hanuman Ansh is unexpectedly eating into Toxic‘s family audience footfalls in its fourth week.
Unless Toxic manages a miraculous hold during the upcoming weekdays, the film is staring at a significant theatrical deficit.
