For Yash, the opening itself was a major milestone as Toxic became his second film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark on its first day after KGF: Chapter 2However, the second-day numbers show that the film will need stronger momentum over the next few days to maintain its pace.
Toxic worldwide collection Day 2
On the worldwide front, Toxic had already crossed the Rs 140 crore mark on Day 1By the end of Day 2, Sacnilk reports the film’s worldwide collection stands at Rs 192 crore
The film’s worldwide performance remains strong despite the domestic dropIts overseas earnings, along with its India collection, have helped the action drama stay close to the Rs 200 crore milestone early in its theatrical runA rise in occupancy on Friday and Saturday could help the film recover some of the momentum lost on Day 2.
Why is Toxic getting backlash?
The backlash against Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is largely over its intimate and sexualised scenes, with some viewers questioning their relevance to the storyThe film has also faced criticism for its weak screenplay, confusing non-linear narrative, and slow pacing, despite praise for Yash’s screen presence and the visuals
There has also been debate over the film’s portrayal of women, with critics arguing that its female characters lack meaningful arcs. Apart from this, its BookMyShow rating, which stood at around 5.6/10, has now been removed from the platform.
The weekend will be crucial for ToxicThe film arrived in theatres with considerable buzz, largely driven by Yash’s popularity and his return after the success of KGF: Chapter 2However, the mixed response to the film could influence its performance in the coming days.
