Toxic, starring Yash, closed its extended five-day opening weekend with a worldwide gross of Rs. 266.50 cr.
The film collected approximately Rs. 228.50 cr in India across the five-day period and earned USD 4,025,000 in overseas markets, bringing the worldwide total to Rs. 266.50 cr.
Toxic opened with a huge first day of over Rs. 100 crore but could not sustain that start. Poor audience reception led to a steep drop on the second day and a continuing decline through the weekend. By the final day of the weekend, collections were at roughly 20 percent of the first-day total.

The box office run is described as essentially over, with very little expected after the weekend. The film is being called a failure at the box office, and the financial situation is reported as worse due to very high costs and weak non-theatrical recoveries. The report states that losses will be among the highest ever in Indian cinema.
