Toxic Final Box Office Collection: Yash’s Rs 500 Crore Film Ends at Rs 333.49 Crore — Verdict Flop

Toxic released on 26 August 2026 with huge expectations. It opened with Rs 101.10 crore net on Day 1, the biggest opening day ever for a Kannada film. But the audience did not come back after the first day. The film ended its run as a flop, even though it is still the 4th highest-grossing Kannada film of all time. Here is the full final picture.

Final Figures

Day 1 Language Split

Hindi gave more than half the opening day. Kannada, the film’s home language, gave Rs 23.30 crore.

Hindi stayed the biggest language for the full run too, ending at Rs 139.6 crore net.

Region-wise Gross

Day-wise Collection (India Net)

The story of this film is in two days. Day 1 was Rs 101.10 crore. Day 2 fell by almost 63% to Rs 37.65 crore. After that, the film never recovered.

Day-wise figures are trade estimates and may not add up exactly to the closing total, as trackers revise numbers. After Day 15, the daily collection fell below Rs 1 crore and the film faded from theatres.

Why It Flopped

Three reasons. First, the word of mouth. The film is a period gangster drama set in Goa, directed by Geetu Mohandas, and it got mixed to negative reviews. People came in huge numbers on Day 1 because of Yash, but they did not recommend it to others, and Day 2 crashed.

Second, the budget. At a reported Rs 500 crore, Toxic needed around Rs 900 crore worldwide to be called a hit. It made Rs 333.49 crore. The India net collection of Rs 245.90 crore covered only about half the budget. Trade analyst Ramesh Bala estimated the losses at Rs 300 to 350 crore.

Third, the overseas run ended fast. The film stopped playing abroad in just 15 days, with only Rs 43.30 crore from overseas. For a film of this size, that is very low.

The Strange Part

Even as a flop, Toxic is the 4th highest-grossing Kannada film of all time. That tells you how big the opening was. The film made more in one day (Rs 101.10 crore) than most Kannada films make in their full run. But a big opening alone does not make a film a hit when the budget is Rs 500 crore.

Yash’s next film is Ramayana, where he plays Ravana. You can follow its numbers in our Ramayana box office live report.

Final Words

Toxic will be remembered as Yash’s biggest opening and his biggest flop at the same time. The film proved that Yash can open a film to Rs 100 crore in a day. It also proved that no opening can save a film when the budget is Rs 500 crore and the audience does not connect with it.
