Toxic Nears Rs 300 Crore Worldwide Despite Day-Five Dip
Toxic is a new movie starring Yash.
It made a very large amount of money on its first day.

On Day 5, it earned Rs 23 crore in India and Rs 2 crore in other countries.
Altogether, the movie has made about Rs 285.20 crore worldwide.
This puts it close to the Rs 300 crore mark.
The movie has received mixed to largely negative reviews from critics and audiences.
Some viewers have criticised its story, violence and treatment of female characters.
Its future earnings may depend on whether people recommend it to others.
