Yash's Toxic Sees Decline as Mirzapur: The Movie Opens Strong; English Version Underperforms
Yash's film 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' has crossed Rs 240 crore net in India after 10 days but is experiencing a significant decline in box office collections, with Day 10 earnings around Rs 1-1.75 crore. The film faces strong competition from the newly released 'Mirzapur: The Movie,' which opened with Rs 24.75 crore net on September 4. Toxic's English version, released on the same day, had a limited release and sold only about 450 tickets, earning approximately Rs 1.4 lakh. Despite mixed reviews and declining momentum, Toxic continues its theatrical run alongside other films like 'Hanuman Ansh.'
