The second‑day earnings of Yash’s film ‘Toxic’ fell sharply to bring its cumulative collection to ₹137 crore, leaving it behind the newly released ‘Dhurandhar 2’.
Yash’s latest release ‘Toxic’ recorded a pronounced slowdown in its box‑office takings on the second day of exhibition, taking the film’s total gross to ₹137 crore. The dip was significant enough for trade analysts to note that the film now trails the newly launched ‘Dhurandhar 2’, which continues to command a larger share of the weekend audience.
Industry sources said the opening day had delivered a much stronger figure, but the momentum did not sustain, resulting in the sharp decline observed on day two. The reduced footfall suggests that while the star power of Yash attracted an initial crowd, word‑of‑mouth and competing releases are influencing audience choices.
Box‑office trackers placed ‘Dhurandhar 2’ ahead of ‘Toxic’ in the current rankings, with the former maintaining a steadier daily growth curve. Observers predict that the performance gap could widen unless ‘Toxic’ manages to revive interest through promotional pushes or positive critical response.
The film’s producers have not commented publicly on the numbers, but the current trajectory indicates a challenging week ahead for the Yash‑led project, especially as other high‑profile releases vie for screen space across the nation.
