The Day 43 collection represents a 20% drop from the previous day’s Rs 6.25 crore. Despite the decline, the spiritual drama continues to maintain a strong pace at the box office. The film entered its seventh week after earning Rs 80.25 crore in its sixth week.

Toxic Day 24 Collection
According to Sacnilk, Toxic collected Rs 6 lakh net in India on Day 24, down from Rs 14 lakh on Day 23.
With its Day 24 collection, Toxic’s India net collection has reached Rs 249.69 crore, while its India gross collection stands at Rs 297.99 crore. The film’s total overseas gross collection stands at Rs 341.74 crore.
The Hindi and Kannada versions continued to drive Toxic’s domestic performance. The Hindi version earned Rs 1 lakh from 11 shows, while the Kannada version collected Rs 5 lakh from 48 shows.
Hanuman Ansh’s Strong Run Despite Smaller Release
The comparison becomes more notable given the difference in their theatrical scale. Toxic had a much wider release across multiple languages, while Hanuman Ansh started with a significantly smaller footprint before gaining momentum through positive word of mouth.
The difference was evident earlier as well. On Day 7, Toxic earned Rs 7.85 crore net from 12,894 shows, while Hanuman Ansh collected Rs 8.50 crore on its Day 26 from just 7,008 shows.
Directed by Geethu Mohandas, Toxic stars Yash, Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, Akshay Oberoi and Sudev Nair. Set in post-independence Goa, the film was reportedly made on a budget of around Rs 500 crore and released in Kannada, English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.
Toxic opened with an estimated Rs 120.75 crore gross on Day 1 from 24,579 shows, with a blended occupancy of 56.1%. Its worldwide gross reached Rs 322 crore after eight days, according to figures cited from Sacnilk. However, its daily collections declined considerably after the opening week.
Meanwhile, Hanuman Ansh, reportedly made on a budget of around Rs 2 crore, opened to just Rs 10 lakh on Day 1 before gradually picking up pace at the box office.
