Yash's latest film, Toxic, had its first day first show on December 26, 2026, with a runtime of 194 minutes. The movie opens with Kiara Advani having a conversation with her child, followed by a shocking incident that leads to the title appearing. The film's morning shows began at 6:30 am IST. Early reports from the first screening indicate a strong opening. Trade analysts will be closely watching the box office numbers for the first day.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

This is a high-stakes solo launch for Yash after the KGF franchise, and his first release as a pan-India star without a co-star like Prashanth Neel's directorial backing. The 194-minute runtime signals an ambitious, possibly sprawling narrative, which carries risk for pace and audience reception. The immediate test for the makers is whether the film's opening day advances can sustain momentum through the week, given the competitive December holiday window. The morning and evening show occupancy figures will be the earliest hard data that determines trade projections for the first weekend.
