Yash's upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has seen massive advance ticket sales ahead of its August 26 release. NDTV reports that over 4.73 lakh tickets have been sold across 12,609 domestic shows, grossing Rs 27.38 crore including blocked seats, and nearing Rs 30 crore. TrackTollywood reports higher figures: 8.21 lakh tickets sold across 13,847 shows, with pre-sales reaching Rs 31.01 crore as of Sunday evening.
Karnataka leads the pre-sales market, contributing Rs 10.69 crore according to NDTV, while TrackTollywood puts Bengaluru alone at Rs 11.95 crore with 60.6% occupancy. The Hindi dubbed version has collected Rs 14.02 crore in pre-sales according to TrackTollywood, nearly matching the Kannada version's Rs 16.02 crore. However, TrackTollywood notes that full bookings in Telugu states remain unopened as distributors await government approval for ticket price hikes, which could further boost collections.
The action thriller, directed by Geetu Mohandas, stars Yash, Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth. It will release in Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and English.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The two sources report significantly different advance booking figures: NDTV says 4.73 lakh tickets and Rs 27.38 crore gross, while TrackTollywood claims 8.21 lakh tickets and Rs 31.01 crore. This discrepancy likely stems from different tracking windows and data sources. TrackTollywood's higher numbers come with a later timestamp and include detailed breakdowns, while NDTV relies on Sacnilk data. Both agree on the film's strong Karnataka performance and Yash's pan-India draw. The key variable to watch is Telugu-state bookings once price hikes are approved, which TrackTollywood expects to cause a surge.
