Toxic Day 11 Collections Rise, But ₹250 Crore Target Looms
Toxic is a film starring Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas.
It had a very large opening day, earning ₹100 crore in India.
After that, fewer people went to see it, partly because many reviews were mixed or negative.
The movie earned more on its second Saturday than on Friday, its lowest day so far.
One report said it earned ₹2.28 crore that day, while another said ₹2.04 crore.
The reports agree that the film was close to ₹250 crore in India overall.
It had also earned money from cinemas outside India.
The film needs strong ticket sales to reach its target, but competition may make that difficult.
Toxic reportedly earned either ₹2.28 crore or ₹2.04 crore net in India on Day 11, reflecting differing trade reports.
The higher estimate represented 34.3% growth from Friday’s ₹1.75 crore, while the lower estimate came from 1,829 shows.
The film’s reported India net total reached ₹243.09 crore, with India gross at ₹290.20 crore and worldwide gross at ₹333.45 crore.
Toxic opened with ₹100 crore India net but declined sharply after mixed-to-negative reviews and a slow second week.
The Yash-starrer is pursuing the ₹250 crore India net mark, though weak momentum and possible competition from Mirzapur: The Movie could affect its run.

Positive Assessment
Critical Concerns
Critical reception
Positive Assessment
One review described Toxic as fascinating, visually ornate and feverishly magnetic, praising its themes and distinctive energy.
Critical Concerns
Other criticism called the screenplay and direction weak, while reviews also described the film as excessive, uneven, overly focused on spectacle and lacking emotional connection.
Day 11 performance
Positive Assessment
The reported Saturday increase, including a 34.3% rise in one estimate, suggests the film regained some pace after its lowest-earning day.
Critical Concerns
Even the higher Day 11 estimate remained underwhelming for a film of this scale, and the second week has been slow overall.
Box-office outlook
Positive Assessment
With a reported India net total of ₹243.09 crore, the film is within reach of the ₹250 crore milestone.
Critical Concerns
The sharp post-opening decline, lukewarm response to the English version and possible competition from Mirzapur: The Movie could limit further growth.
