Toxic Surges Past ₹140 Crore Worldwide on Opening Day
Toxic is a new movie starring Yash in two roles.
It opened in cinemas on Wednesday, August 26.
The latest report says it earned more than ₹100 crore after one day in India.
Including overseas earnings, it made about ₹140.75 crore worldwide.
The Hindi version earned the most money, while the Kannada version came second.

SCREEN review
The publication’s reviewer commenting on Toxic
“I wanted very much to see if I would be swept away by this ‘fairy-tale for grown-ups’, a genre very few Indian filmmakers dare attempt. Sadly, that happens so seldom in this eye-glazing, endless litany of violence taking place in picturesque locations in Goa and Macau and elsewhere, where mobsters and corrupt forces combine to push crime, and where faceless armies of gun-toting goons keep popping up, shooting and scooting through one set-piece after another, all more exhausting than exhilarating”
