‘Toxic’ Box Office Day 2: Yash Nears 1,000 Crore Post-COVID Milestone in India
Superstar Yash is proving his box office dominance once again as his latest action drama, Toxic, continues its strong theatrical run across the country. Following a record-shattering opening day, the high-octane entertainer maintained solid momentum on its second day despite facing a expected weekday decline. With these stellar figures, the actor now stands just ₹1.55 crore away from breaching the monumental ₹1,000 crore post-COVID cumulative net benchmark in India. What makes this historic milestone truly remarkable is that it has been achieved through the sheer pull of just two pan-Indian blockbusters.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic secured a net collection of ₹37.65 crore on Friday. This comes right after its historic ₹101.10 crore opening on Thursday, bringing the film’s total two-day domestic net collection to ₹138.75 crore. The action drama recorded an overall audience occupancy of 26.6% across 22,600 screenings nationwide on its second day, setting a solid foundation for the upcoming weekend.
The numbers reflect an extraordinary post-pandemic track record for the superstar. While many prominent actors have struggled for consistent box office performance in recent years, Yash’s stardom has redefined domestic theatrical metrics. His previous release, Prashanth Neel’s KGF: Chapter 2, generated a massive ₹859.70 crore net in India. Combined with the two-day earnings of Toxic, Yash’s total post-COVID domestic tally has reached an astounding ₹998.45 crore.
