In just 48 hours, Yash's latest film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has surpassed Rs 18 crore in ticket sales in India, outpacing Dhurandhar, Animal, and Jawan. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic premiered on Friday, 21 August, with advance bookings starting at 1.20am IST. Within the first 48 hours, Toxic had sold 3,30,619 tickets across 10,963 shows, amounting to around Rs 13.98 crore (Rs 140 million) in confirmed sales.
With blocked seats included, the total revenue could reach approximately Rs 21.98 crore (Rs 220 million). The film's rapid sales surge was evident in its opening hours, with over Rs 10 crore grossed in the initial 10 hours and more than 335,000 tickets sold on BookMyShow alone in the first 24 hours. Toxic has already established itself as the seventh-best pre-sale performer in Hindi-belt markets, trailing only behind Pushpa 2's 95,000 tickets.
Comparatively, Toxic has sold more tickets than Animal, Dhurandhar, Tiger 3, and even Shah Rukh Khan's 2023 blockbuster, Jawan, during their respective early opening windows. Notably, while Toxic has sold more than 3.3 lakh tickets and roughly double the revenue figure of Jawan's 2023 opening day, only one film has surpassed it - Dhurandhar 2, which recorded around 9.20 lakh advance ticket sales earlier this year and remains the biggest pre-sale of 2026.
