Yash’s much-awaited action thriller ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’ is creating a major buzz even before reaching theatres. With advance bookings now underway, the film has recorded an impressive response, and several shows are already reported to be housefull.

Advance Bookings Show Massive Demand

Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is scheduled to release worldwide on August 26, 2026. The film marks Yash’s big-screen comeback after KGF: Chapter 2, making it one of the most anticipated Indian releases of the year. According to early tracking data, Toxic has already sold a substantial number of tickets across India. One tracking report recorded 184,909 tickets sold across 4,540 shows in 626 theatres, with 35 shows already housefull and hundreds more filling fast.

Bengaluru Leads the Advance Booking Race

Karnataka, particularly Bengaluru, is showing extraordinary enthusiasm for Yash’s return. Reports indicate that Toxic was selling more than 25,000 tickets per hour in Bengaluru soon after bookings opened, with multiple shows filling up rapidly. Sacnilk’s early Day 1 tracking also showed Karnataka dominating advance sales, while the Hindi version was emerging as another major contributor.

Advance Sales Point Towards a Strong Opening

The latest reports suggest that Toxic has already generated double-digit crore advance-booking revenue, with blocked seats potentially pushing the figure significantly higher. Times of India reported that the film was approaching the ₹20 crore mark when blocked seats were included. This early momentum is particularly significant because the film still has several days before its theatrical release. If the current booking trend continues, Toxic could witness a huge opening at the box office.

Yash Fans Ready for Another Big-Screen Spectacle

The combination of Yash’s massive popularity after KGF 2, Geetu Mohandas’ direction and the film’s action-heavy presentation has generated considerable anticipation. The cast also includes Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria and Huma Qureshi, adding to the film’s nationwide appeal. With housefull shows already appearing and advance sales gathering pace, Toxic is clearly starting its box-office journey on a powerful note.

Toxic is proving that Yash’s star power remains enormous. With advance bookings showing strong momentum and several shows already housefull, all eyes are now on August 26, when the film finally arrives in theatres. The real question is whether this pre-release frenzy will translate into a massive opening-day box office number.
