The Yash‑Kiara‑Nayanthara starrer 'Toxic' recorded a 64% fall in its box‑office earnings on Thursday, its second day of release, according to The Times of India.
The Kannada‑language action drama 'Toxic', headlined by Yash alongside Kiara Advani and Nayanthara, experienced a sharp decline in collections on its second day of release. Data from The Times of India shows that Thursday's earnings were 64% lower than the opening day figures.
Such a steep drop is uncommon for films that open strongly, and analysts view it as an early indicator of waning audience interest. The reduction suggests that word‑of‑mouth and repeat viewership may not be supporting the film as initially expected.
Industry observers note that a 60‑plus percent fall between the first two days often forces distributors to reassess screen allocations and promotional strategies. The performance of 'Toxic' will be closely monitored in the coming days to see whether the trend stabilises or worsens.
