Toxic box office Day 2: Yash's film struggles to match Dhurandhar 2 tsunami
The film 'Toxic', starring Yash, experienced a significant box office decline on its second day, failing to match the momentum of other major pan-India hits like 'Dhurandhar 2'. Despite a strong opening, the film's occupancy and show counts dropped sharply across multiple languages.
Why it matters
The performance of pan-India films is a key indicator of shifting consumer trends and economic health in the Indian entertainment industry.
Yash’s Toxic saw a sharp drop at the box office on its second day, with the Geetu Mohandas directorial struggling to stay in step with the kind of Day 2 surge seen by major pan-India titles such as Dhurandhar 2. The film had opened strongly and entered the Rs 100-crore club on Day 1, but its Thursday numbers were markedly lower.After posting an India nett opening of Rs 101.10 crore and a worldwide gross of Rs 140.75 crore, Toxic remained ahead of several big films on some Day 1 measures. However, the second-day fall in collections, show count and occupancy changed the picture, leaving it behind the Day 2 numbers recorded by Dhurandhar 2, Pushpa 2, KGF: Chapter 2 and RRR.Toxic collected Rs 36.40 crore nett in India on Day 2 across 22,629 shows.
