Yash's Toxic is set to release in Hindi on August 26, 2026, after multiple delays. M9 News reports that current predictions estimate its opening day collection in Hindi at Rs 15-20 crore, thanks to a solo release and the Milad holiday. Without a clash with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the film is expected to benefit from a captive audience. Pinkvilla notes that the trailer's scale and Yash's 'rocking-star image' should appeal to mass centres. M9 News highlights the key question: can Toxic beat Awarapan 2's opening of approximately Rs 23 crore? However, social media users caution that even a Rs 15-20 crore start would be far below K.G.F. Chapter 2's Hindi day-one collection of over Rs 50 crore. The increased budget due to delays puts pressure on Toxic to perform strongly across all regions.
