The Kannada‑Hindi bilingual film ‘Toxic’, starring Yash and Kiara Advani, collected more than ₹100 crore on its first day, setting a new benchmark for Indian cinema.
The much‑anticipated bilingual movie ‘Toxic’, featuring Kannada star Yash and Bollywood actress Kiara Advani, registered a box‑office haul exceeding ₹100 crore on its opening day across India. The figure, compiled from reports by major trade trackers, marks the film as the first of its kind to breach the six‑figure crore mark in a single day.
Industry analysts note that such a debut places ‘Toxic’ ahead of previous high‑grossing releases, many of which took several days to reach the same milestone. The rapid accumulation underscores the combined fan‑base of the lead actors and the wide‑release strategy that covered both Hindi‑speaking and regional markets.
The film’s strong start has been attributed to aggressive marketing, extensive screen count, and positive early audience feedback. Distributors are now projecting a sustained run, with expectations of the movie joining the elite club of Indian blockbusters that cross the ₹300‑crore threshold over their theatrical life.
Stakeholders, including the producers and the two stars, have expressed gratitude to viewers, while confirming that the momentum will be leveraged for promotional activities in the coming weeks.
