Toxic has generated considerable buzz since its theatrical release, but its box office journey has been accompanied by mixed audience reactions. The film has faced criticism over its violent sequences, sensual content and what some viewers described as a lack of emotional depth.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is backed by Venkat K Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations LLP.
Yash plays dual roles in the film as Raya and Ticket. The cast also includes Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth.
The film was officially announced in 2023 and was mounted on a large scale with considerable expectations surrounding Yash’s return to the big screen.
Despite the second-day decline, Toxic has already crossed the Rs 137 crore mark in India within two days. Its performance over the weekend will now be crucial. If the film manages to register a strong turnaround, it could continue its box office run despite the mixed response.
