Toxic’s second‑day earnings slump; Dhurandhar 2 eclipses the hit

Toxic earned ₹14.31 crore net on its second day, falling far behind rival Dhurandhar 2’s ₹80.72 crore haul. The Kannada‑language hit posted 23.1% occupancy across 17,548 shows, with Hindi markets outperforming the original. Despite mixed reviews, the film’s budget‑heavy production and star cast keep it in the spotlight as it vies for a weekend boost.
