Toxic Recovers After Day 2 Drop

The Day 3 numbers are important for Toxic after the film witnessed a sharp fall on its second day. The Yash starrer opened with a massive Rs 101.10 crore net on Day 1. However, its Day 2 collection dropped considerably. The film eventually ended Thursday with Rs 37.65 crore net.

With Rs 19.29 crore already coming in on Day 3, Toxic is showing some stability as it enters the weekend. With the weekend now underway, Toxic will need a strong jump in collections to maintain its box-office momentum and move closer to recovering its reported budget.

Despite the drop after Day 1, the film has already crossed Rs 150 crore in India net within three days.

BookMyShow Rating Controversy

Meanwhile, Toxic has also become a topic of discussion on social media over an alleged change in its BookMyShow audience rating.

A Reddit user claimed that the film’s audience rating had disappeared from the platform. According to screenshots shared by the user, Toxic was earlier showing a rating of 5.5/10, while the page later displayed only the number of likes.

The claim led to speculation among viewers, but there has been no official confirmation that the change was connected to the film’s makers. The discussion comes as the film continues to attract attention both for its box-office numbers and its mixed audience response.
