Why Toxic Is Being Called a Major Financial Setback
While the theatrical gross is expected to finish around the Rs. 270 crore mark based on the supplied trade estimate, the film’s overall financial picture is considerably weaker because of its high production and associated costs.
Reports have also highlighted difficulties surrounding the film’s non-theatrical recoveries. Some trade reports have put the potential overall loss at close to Rs. 300 crore. This should be treated as a trade estimate rather than a certified accounting figure.
Toxic Could Finish Under Rs. 270 Crore
With the reported 16-day India gross already at Rs. 265.50 crore, the film needs only a few more crores to cross the Rs. 267–268 crore range. Based on the current pace, the theatrical run is expected to conclude below the Rs. 270 crore mark.
