The theatrical box office is currently witnessing a fascinating tug-of-war between two contrasting cinematic releases. On one side stands the high-budget action extravaganza 'Toxic' starring superstar Yash, which shattered opening-day records across Indian screens. On the other side is the modest devotional feature 'Hanuman Ansh', which began its theatrical journey on a quiet note. However, upon entering its fourth week of release, 'Hanuman Ansh' experienced an extraordinary surge in footfalls, successfully surpassing the daily collection figures of 'Toxic'.
Hanuman Ansh Registers 54 Percent Surge on Day 26
According to data compiled by Sacnilk, 'Hanuman Ansh' generated a net box office collection of ₹8.50 crore across India on its 26th day in theaters. In comparison, Yash's 'Toxic' accumulated ₹8.20 crore net on its 7th day of release. On its 25th day, 'Hanuman Ansh' had collected approximately ₹5.50 crore, translating into a sharp single-day growth of 54.55% on day 26. With this momentum, the 26-day cumulative net collection for 'Hanuman Ansh' in India reached ₹54.13 crore, corresponding to an India gross total of ₹63.82 crore.
The initial theatrical run for 'Hanuman Ansh' was remarkably low-key. The film managed just ₹1.08 crore during its first week, which dropped further to around ₹40 lakh in its second week. However, strong audience word-of-mouth sparked a major turnaround in the third week, yielding ₹10.40 crore. The fourth week accelerated this trajectory, with the film accumulating ₹42.25 crore between day 22 and day 26 alone.
Toxic Completes First Week With Huge Worldwide Totals
Meanwhile, the mounted action spectacle 'Toxic' made an explosive entrance at the ticket windows. The film opened with a massive ₹101.10 crore net collection on day 1 in India. This was followed by ₹37.65 crore on day 2, ₹27.20 crore on day 3, ₹25.15 crore on day 4, and ₹23 crore on day 5. Daily business witnessed a steep decline on day 6 with ₹7.65 crore, before rebounding by 7.2% on day 7 to log ₹8.20 crore.
In its first seven days, 'Toxic' crossed ₹229.95 crore in total Indian net collection, bringing its domestic gross tally to ₹272.80 crore. The film also performed strongly in overseas territories, pulling in ₹40.75 crore gross. Consequently, the 7-day worldwide gross collection for 'Toxic' stands at ₹313.55 crore across all markets.
Language Breakup for Toxic's Day 7 Performance
'Toxic' was released nationwide in five distinct languages, with the Hindi dubbed version leading the charts on the seventh day. The Hindi edition contributed ₹5.60 crore net to the day 7 total. Simultaneously, the home-market Kannada version brought in ₹1.75 crore, the Telugu dubbed version registered ₹60 lakh, the Tamil print earned ₹20 lakh, and the Malayalam release collected ₹5 lakh.
