The film recorded an overall occupancy of 56.1% across 24,579 shows, according to the report.

The opening has given Toxic a strong start despite the mixed critical response surrounding the film.

Response

While Yash's fans lauded the film as the cinema halls were packed, a huge section of the audience lashed out at the movie plot calling the storyline weak. 

About the film

Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film is set against the backdrop of the international drug trade and explores a dark, stylised criminal underworld.

Yash plays the central protagonist, a mysterious and powerful figure whose journey unfolds amid violence, ambition and betrayal.

Cast

The film features an ensemble cast, with Kiara Advani and Nayanthara playing key roles. Tara Sutaria and Huma Qureshi are also part of the cast of significant characters.

Toxic has been shot in both Kannada and English and released in multiple languages, making it one of the year's most anticipated pan-India releases.

The film marks a major collaboration between Yash and Geetu Mohandas, bringing together the KGF star's action-driven screen presence with the filmmaker's distinctive, darker storytelling style.

With its gritty visual treatment, high-octane action and crime-drama narrative, Toxic represents a stylistic departure from Yash's previous outings and is expected to appeal to audiences looking for a more intense and unconventional action spectacle.
