Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups met its first Friday with a pullback: ₹26.60Cr India net, down 29.3% from Thursday's ₹37.65Cr, taking the three-day lifetime total to ₹165.35Cr against a ₹221.45Cr worldwide gross.
The premiere-week numbers were always going to fade before the real weekend even began.
A 29.3% drop from Thursday looks steep next to a record-setting Wednesday opening, but it's the expected shape for a midweek release — the first two days carry premiere pricing and release-day curiosity that a standard Friday simply doesn't replicate. ₹26.60Cr is still a substantial single-day figure on its own, and it sets up the actual test this film has been waiting for: a genuine weekend, rather than a manufactured midweek premiere window.
At ₹165.35Cr against an ₹800Cr budget, roughly 21% of the break-even bar is covered heading into the first real Saturday. That's an early-run number, not a verdict — the weekend crowd, not the midweek premiere rush, decides whether this trajectory holds.
