Toxic Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 1: Yash Film Takes Massive ₹140.75 Crore Start; Beats Jawan, Animal
Yash’s much-awaited gangster drama Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has opened with a massive response at the worldwide box office. Released in theatres on August 26, the Geetu Mohandas directorial has reportedly collected ₹140.75 crore worldwide on Day 1, delivering one of the biggest opening days for an Indian film.
The film had been generating tremendous buzz before release, with strong advance bookings across multiple languages. Despite carrying an A certificate and receiving mixed early reviews, the Yash-starrer managed to translate the pre-release excitement into impressive theatrical numbers.
Toxic Day 1 Worldwide Collection
According to reported trade figures, Toxic earned around ₹101.10 crore net in India on its opening day. Its India gross stood at approximately ₹120.75 crore, while the overseas markets contributed around ₹20 crore, taking the worldwide gross to ₹140.75 crore.
The film reportedly recorded its biggest contributions from the Hindi, Kannada and Telugu markets. The Hindi belt alone contributed around ₹55 crore gross/net reporting varies by source, while Kannada and Telugu also delivered strong numbers.
Toxic vs Jawan and Animal
The ₹140.75-crore global opening puts Toxic ahead of several major Indian blockbusters in terms of reported worldwide Day 1 collections, including Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan and Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. Reports also indicate that Yash’s new film surpassed several other major openers on the first-day worldwide chart.
However, Toxic has not beaten Yash’s own KGF: Chapter 2. The 2022 blockbuster reportedly collected around ₹116 crore net in India on its opening day, compared with Toxic’s ₹101.10 crore.
A Strong Comeback for Yash
Toxic marks Yash’s major theatrical return after the phenomenal success of KGF: Chapter 2. The film also features Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth in key roles.
While reviews have been mixed, the opening demonstrates Yash’s enormous box-office pull and the strength of his pan-India following. The next challenge for Toxic will be maintaining its momentum through the opening weekend.
If the film sustains strong occupancy over the coming days, its ₹140.75-crore worldwide opening could become the foundation for a major theatrical run
