The Kannada‑Tamil bilingual film Toxic, featuring Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas, has collected only ₹4 crore in its first week, indicating sluggish growth.
Toxic, a bilingual action thriller starring Kannada superstar Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas, opened across India on 19th September. The film, which blends high‑octane sequences with a social message, was expected to perform strongly given Yash’s track record.
By the end of its seventh day, Toxic’s worldwide gross stood at ₹4 crore, a figure that falls short of the projected ₹10 crore target set by the producers. The modest earnings reflect a lack of momentum at the multiplexes and a tepid response from the urban audience.
Industry observers note that the film’s performance contrasts sharply with Yash’s recent successes such as KGF and RangiTaranga, where opening collections were substantially higher. Critics point to weak word‑of‑mouth and limited marketing as possible reasons for the underwhelming turnout.
The film’s distributors have announced a revised release strategy, including a focus on smaller theatres and an intensified digital promotion campaign. Whether these measures can reverse the trend remains to be seen as Toxic continues its run next week.
