The Kannada blockbuster 'Toxic', starring Yash, has earned over ₹100 crore nett in India on its opening day, marking a record for the actor and the industry.
The Kannada film 'Toxic', released on 16 September 2023, opened to massive crowds across multiplexes and single screens nationwide. Within 24 hours, the movie crossed the ₹100 crore nett mark, a milestone rarely achieved on the first day in the Kannada film sector.
This achievement places 'Toxic' among the fastest grossing Kannada releases, following the earlier successes of Yash’s 'KGF' and 'K.G.F: Chapter 2'. The film’s strong opening is attributed to Yash’s star power, a compelling storyline, and a robust marketing campaign that included a 3D release.
Yash, who has become a household name in Karnataka and beyond, is now the first Kannada actor to hit the ₹100 crore nett threshold on day one. The record underscores the growing commercial viability of regional cinema on a national scale.
Industry insiders have praised the film’s performance, noting that it could set a new benchmark for future Kannada productions and encourage wider distribution of regional films across India.
