Yash’s Toxic Earns ₹9 Cr in Nizam on Day 1 Despite Mixed Reviews

Yash’s latest film, Toxic, made its theatrical debut on August 26, 2026, after a series of delays and much anticipation from fans, especially following his blockbuster success in KGF. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the action drama features Kiara Advani as the female lead and boasts an ensemble cast including Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria.

On its opening day in the Nizam region, Toxic grossed approximately ₹9 crore, with a nett collection of ₹7.5 crore. These figures reflect a robust start for the film, which was backed by KVN Productions and Yash’s own Monster Mind Creations. Despite the strong box office numbers, the film has received a mixed-to-negative response from audiences and critics alike, which could impact its performance over the coming weekend.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Toxic had generated significant buzz among Hindi audiences ahead of its release, largely due to Yash’s massive following after KGF. The film’s release was originally scheduled for earlier dates but faced several postponements before finally arriving in cinemas worldwide.

While the opening day collections in Nizam are impressive, the sustainability of Toxic’s box office run will depend on word-of-mouth and audience reception in the days ahead. The film’s performance in other regions and its overall weekend numbers will be closely watched by the industry.
