Yash's Toxic Sees Box Office Decline Amid Mixed Reviews and Audience Response
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, starring Yash, opened strongly with a Day 1 collection of over Rs 101 crore but experienced a sharp decline in its second week, earning Rs 0.73 crore on Day 14 and totaling around Rs 247 crore net in India. Despite mixed reviews and criticism for its violence and pacing, Yash remained composed, encouraging his team to accept audience verdicts and focus on future projects. The film's reported budget of Rs 500 crore suggests it may struggle to recoup costs despite a worldwide gross of approximately Rs 338 crore.
