Bengaluru, India – The box office performance of Yash's highly anticipated pan-India film, Toxic, saw an unexpected downturn on its ninth day, registering a significant decline in collections. Contrary to industry expectations, the film was outrun by Hanuman Ansh, a devotional drama that has been quietly performing strongly for several weeks.
Toxic's Box Office Performance
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Toxic experienced a 22% drop in its daily box office business on Day 9, collecting ₹4.25 crore. This brings the film's total net domestic box office collection to ₹239.30 crore, with a total India gross of ₹285.70 crore.
The film's daily collections have shown a fluctuating trend since its strong opening:
- Day 1: ₹101.10 crore
- Day 2: ₹37.65 crore
- Day 3: ₹27.20 crore
- Day 4: ₹25.15 crore
- Day 5: ₹23 crore
- Day 6: ₹7.65 crore
- Day 7: ₹7.85 crore
- Day 8: ₹5.45 crore
- Day 9: ₹4.25 crore
Globally, Toxic has amassed ₹42.75 crore from overseas markets, contributing to a total worldwide box office collection of ₹328.45 crore.
Hanuman Ansh's Unexpected Surge
In a surprising turn of events, the low-budget devotional drama Hanuman Ansh, directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, collected nearly triple the amount of Toxic on its 28th day. Focusing on the life and chronicles of Neem Karoli Baba, Hanuman Ansh saw a remarkable 41.9% growth in its daily business, earning ₹11 crore on Day 28.
The film's sustained performance has been described as miraculous, with its fourth-week collections significantly boosting its overall earnings:
- First Week: ₹1.08 crore
- Second Week: ₹40 lakh
- Third Week: ₹10.40 crore
- Day 22: ₹6.25 crore
- Day 23: ₹9.25 crore
- Day 24: ₹12.75 crore
- Day 25: ₹5.50 crore
- Day 26: ₹8.50 crore
- Day 27: ₹7.75 crore
- Day 28: ₹11 crore
With its impressive fourth-week run, Hanuman Ansh has accumulated a total of ₹61 crore in its fourth week alone, bringing its overall India net box office collection to ₹72.88 crore. This translates to total domestic gross earnings of ₹85.97 crore, defying initial trade analyst predictions.
