Toxic advance booking: Yash’s film crosses Rs 30 cr in India two days before release

Yash's Kannada-English action film Toxic has already grossed over Rs 30 crore at the Indian box office, an impressive feat achieved just two days before its release, thanks to the advance booking window. The movie, originally in Kannada and English, and dubbed in other Indian languages, has also surpassed the Rs 10 crore mark in Kannada and Hindi versions, despite receiving an A (adults only) certificate.

By Sunday night, Toxic had generated Rs 23.91 crore from ticket sales across India and its dubbed versions. The Kannada version led the pack, earning Rs 10.92 crore in 2D format, while earning Rs 71.11 lakh in IMAX 2D and Rs 21.17 lakh in 4DX formats. Over 2,55,684 tickets were sold in the Kannada 2D format alone, with Bengaluru being the highest-grossing city, earning Rs 8.83 crore from 952 shows.

Seventy percent of Karnataka's total screens are either sold out or nearly full, with the remaining 30% filling up rapidly. The Hindi dubbed version is also making strides, earning Rs 10.84 crore from 3,18,953 tickets sold in 2D format, over a lakh more than the Kannada version. The Hindi version also contributes to the film's IMAX 2D (Rs 27.87 lakh) and 4DX (Rs 21.46 lakh) formats, along with Dolby Cine (Rs 64,700).

The Tamil dubbed version follows, raising Rs 42.32 lakh from 25,947 shows, while the Malayalam and Telugu dubbed versions have earned Rs 18.36 lakh and over Rs 13 lakh respectively from 9,165 and 5,263 shows. With an estimated opening day box office collection of Rs 100 crore to Rs 120 crore worldwide, Yash could become the only Indian actor, after Prabhas, to achieve three consecutive Rs 100 crore openers at the global box office, following his success with the KGF franchise, which amassed around Rs 1500 crore worldwide.
