Toxic Box Office Collection Day 1

The film starring Yash is off to a strong start at the box office in India, earning ₹ ₹82.88 crore net on day 1 by 7 pm. The film recorded an overall occupancy of 51.2% in theatres.

Toxic witnessed its strongest performance in the Hindi market, which contributed ₹ ₹48.22 crore net. It is followed by the original Kannada version, which raked in ₹19.38 crore with 87% occupancy from 1,682 shows.

The film has also registered a positive response in the Telugu market, adding ₹10.15 crore net with 60% occupancy. Tamil shows contributed ₹3.96 crore net, while the Malayalam version earned ₹1.17 crore net.

However, these are the early estimates for the day. The final figures will be revealed post night shows.

Toxic beats Dhurandhar, Pathaan

Toxic has already surpassed the opening business of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which was a ₹1300-crore blockbuster of 2025. The highest-grossing Indian film of the year opened to ₹28 crore net in December, which was easily crossed by Toxic after the morning shows. Toxic has also beaten Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan with its afternoon show. Post evening shows, the film has out-earned Ranbir Kapoor's Animal and Khan's Jawan in terms of day 1 collection.

Toxic is predicted to hit at least ₹100 crore today, including the overseas haul.

It would be interesting to see if Toxic can beat Yash's previous release, KGF: Chapter 2, which earned ₹ 116 crore on its opening day.

“4 YEARS AFTER 'KGF 2', YASH RETURNS WITH 'TOXIC' – IN CINEMAS *TOMORROW*... Four years after the historic success of #KGF2, #Yash returns to the big screen with #Toxic – and the response to the advance bookings has been PHENOMENAL,” wrote film trade analyst Taran Adarsh on X, earlier in the day.
