One of the most anticipated films of the year, 'Toxic,' directed by Gittu Mohandas and starring Yash, Nayantara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, and Huma Kurashi, is set to hit theaters on August 26, 2026. The film was shot in Kannada and English, but it is planned for release with dubbing in several languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
Advance ticket sales began some time ago, and initial figures suggest that Yash's film could achieve significant success at the box office.
According to preliminary reports, 'Toxic' has already sold over 700 thousand tickets on the first day. Excluding block seats, the film earned approximately 26.40 crore rupees across all language versions. Including block earnings, the preliminary collection reached about 34.93 crore rupees.
The Hindi version generated the most interest in advance sales, with over 370 thousand tickets sold on the first day. This is followed by Yash's original Kannada version, where more than 270 thousand tickets were sold. The Tamil version also received a positive response, with over 42 thousand tickets sold, as did the Malayalam and Telugu versions, with over 10 thousand and about 6 thousand tickets sold, respectively.
These advance sales figures clearly indicate that 'Toxic' is poised for a strong theatrical launch. If this pace continues until the release date, there is a possibility that the film could surpass the 100 crore rupee mark on its opening day. Nevertheless, the final success of the film will depend on audience reviews and word-of-mouth. If the film meets audience expectations, these numbers could increase significantly.
'Toxic' initially received mixed or negative reactions from the public regarding its teasers and musical compositions. Intimate scenes were also actively discussed. However, the trailer released earlier this month completely changed the atmosphere surrounding the film. The trailer attracted viewers' attention and increased interest in the movie. Current advance sales figures confirm that Yash's fans are very eager to see 'Toxic' on the big screen. The decision on how 'toxic' the film's impact on box office collections will be after its release will be made on August 26.
