Toxic Hindi Box Office: Yash To See A Massive Drop Of Nearly 63% From KGF Chapter 2’s Opening Day?

By Shalmesh More

The countdown for Toxic has started, and we’re just 7 days away from its grand theatrical release. Since Yash is marking his big return after KGF Chapter 2, expectations are sky high. The film is a magnum opus, mounted on a huge scale and backed by a massive budget. While the cost hasn’t been officially declared, reports suggest the budget has exceeded 500 crore, and to emerge as a clean winner against such an exorbitant cost, the film needs a strong Hindi run at the Indian box office. However, as far as the opening day is concerned, things aren’t looking that good.

Riding on the stardom of Yash

Post-KGF, Yash has become a brand across India, especially in the Hindi market. His popularity is beyond big cities, deeply penetrating the tier 1 and tier 2 regions. With such stardom on the line, his upcoming period gangster action thriller has the potential to surprise everyone in the long run, but the front-loading required for a huge start is missing.

Toxic’s Hindi version is expected to score up to 20 crore on day 1

Ever since Toxic was officially announced, it has been in the limelight, which is a good thing. However, the attention it has grabbed so far is mostly due to not-so-good reasons. The promotional assets, including the trailer, have received a mixed reception. Yash’s popularity and the Id-e-Milad holiday will help the Hindi version clock 17-20 crore net at the Indian box office on day 1, which is good but not up to the mark.
