Yash and Kiara Advani’s much-awaited film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is generating strong buzz at the box office even before its release. The film has reportedly sold around 1.04 lakh tickets across the top national cinema chains for its opening day, indicating strong audience interest.
Strong Advance Booking
The film has been recording impressive advance sales across major national chains, particularly PVR INOX and Cinepolis. The early response has strengthened expectations of a big opening for the Hindi version.
Earlier tracking had already shown more than 45,000 tickets sold in these two chains several days before release, highlighting the film's growing momentum.
Yash’s Big-Screen Return
Toxic is particularly significant for Yash as it marks his return to cinemas after a gap of around four years. Following the success of KGF: Chapter 2, expectations surrounding his next project have remained extremely high.
The film is directed by Geetu Mohandas and features a major ensemble cast.
Kiara Advani Adds to the Buzz
Kiara Advani is playing a prominent role alongside Yash, adding further interest among Hindi-speaking audiences.
The cast also includes Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi, making Toxic one of the major pan-India releases of the year.
Can Toxic Deliver a Bumper Opening?
The strong advance booking indicates that Toxic could record a substantial opening in the Hindi market. Earlier trade estimates suggested that the film had the potential to approach the ₹40–50 crore net range in Hindi if advance sales continued to accelerate.
However, the final opening will depend on walk-in audiences, occupancy across regions and the film’s reception after release.
Release Details
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is scheduled to release in theatres on September 26, 2026. The film has a reported runtime of 3 hours and 14 minutes and has received an A certificate.
