Yash's 'Toxic' movie sees strong global release and ₹50 Cr advance bookings
The highly anticipated action-drama 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups', starring Yash, has been released worldwide. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film features a dual role for Yash and a star-studded cast including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, and Huma Qureshi. The period gangster saga is set in post-independence Goa and has garnered significant attention for its visual scale and high production values.
Initial box office reports indicate strong performance, with All India advance bookings exceeding ₹50 crore. In Karnataka, the film has achieved over ₹20 crore in advance sales, marking a significant milestone for a standalone film. However, the release has faced logistical challenges in the Telugu states, where advance bookings were delayed due to pending government approvals regarding ticket price hikes. Distributor Dil Raju has reportedly made a substantial investment in the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana rights, with breakeven targets estimated between ₹180-200 crore in those regions.
Audience reactions on social media have been mixed. While many praised Yash’s screen presence, the film’s action sequences, and its technical execution, some critics pointed to issues with pacing, screenplay, and emotional depth. The film has been granted an 'A' certificate by the CBFC.
