‘Toxic’ Box Office: Yash-Starrer Continues Downward Spiral on Day Three

The box office performance of “Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups” highlights how negative word-of-mouth can impact a film despite its star-studded cast. After witnessing a massive 64% drop on its second day, the period gangster actioner declined further on Day Three, earning just ₹27.20 crore. 

With a total collection of ₹165.95 crore, the film is expected to cross the ₹200 crore mark during its extended five-day opening weekend. Of its total collections, the Hindi-dubbed version has contributed ₹99 crore, followed by the original Kannada version, which has added ₹36.80 crore. 

With such a drastic decline in day-wise collections, it will be an uphill task for “Toxic” to maintain a steady hold at the box office on weekdays. Going by the current scenario, the Yash-starrer is heading toward becoming a major box-office disappointment, potentially joining the ranks of films such as “Thugs of Hindostan,” “Zero” and “War 2.”
