Yash’s film is facing stiff competition from other theatrical releases, including Vishal Chaturvedi’s sleeper hit Hanuman Ansh and Emraan Hashmi-starrer Awarapan 2. Mirzapur: The Movie, which hits theatres on Friday, is expected to further divide the audience.
Amid the film’s declining box-office numbers and the backlash surrounding it, members of the Kannada film industry extended their support to Yash. The Kannada star’s mother, Pushpa Arun Kumar, also hit back at trolls for questioning her son’s stardom.
“Yash is not some random terrorist. He was already a successful star in Karnataka before KGF and has delivered several hit films that proved his popularity. Some are intentionally trying to suppress my son’s career and spreading propaganda against Toxic,” she said.

'Kannada film industry needs strong stories', says fan
X user @kaase_baasu shared, "Toxic was a film that could have easily done ₹1,000 crore in business. Even now, it may reach around ₹400–450 crore gross, but because distributors have invested a very large amount of money, they could still suffer losses. People are saying that the Hindi version may reach its break-even point. Now, Yash’s Ramayana is coming next, a big-budget film that will be released in two parts. The negative PR from the Telugu industry will likely continue there as well. If possible, it would be better if Yash avoids dubbing his films into Telugu for a while. He already has a strong market in Kannada and Hindi, and if he keeps the budget under control and makes good films, he can potentially recover much more than the investment. From a business perspective, the Kannada film industry still does not have an international market as large as the Telugu or Tamil industries. Any Kannada film with a budget above ₹75 crore almost inevitably has to become a pan-India film. At the same time, films featuring new heroes are struggling to establish themselves, while established stars are not even making one film a year in some cases. In such a situation, how can a ₹100-crore budget be recovered? We don't necessarily need big films in the KGF mould. Films that tried to replicate that formula, such as Martin, Kabzaa and KD, failed badly. What we need are films with good stories and gripping narratives. The industry will grow only when audiences start coming to theatres with their families to watch Kannada films. All our A-list actors should ideally do at least 3–4 films a year. That is possible. Alongside those films, they can also occasionally take up their ambitious, large-scale projects."

Kantara composer Ajaneesh Loknath compares Toxic to Lagaan
Music composer Ajaneesh Loknath compared Yash-starrer Toxic to Aamir Khan’s Lagaan while defending the film amid its mixed response. He wrote on X: "A thought about a 25 year old film. I watched the trailer of a great film released 25 years ago, now re-released for its 25th anniversary. I imagined—if it had released today, people would have commented, "lag", "boring", and reduced the whole story to, "there will be a match, India will challenge the British, the match will happen—that's it." We might have missed a truly great film just because of irresponsible opinions. Reviews are opinions, not your experience. If a film interests you, go to the theatre, watch it yourself and then form your own opinion. I appreciate KVN Productions, Yash, the entire cast and crew for this film. Best wishes to the whole team."
Hanuman Ansh outpaces Toxic on BookMyShow hourly ticket sales

Kantara composer Ajaneesh Loknath defends Yash’s Toxic
Music composer Ajaneesh Loknath, known for his work on Kantara, has come out in support of Yash and Geetu Mohandas’ Toxic amid the film’s largely negative reviews. He posted on x:
“Don’t just read reviews. Experience cinema. I watched Toxic, and i liked it. I feel people should go and watch it in theatres. Cinema is a personal experience. My taste, my thought process and my experience can be completely different from someone else's. I have seen many films over the years that i enjoyed, even though reviews were negative—and missed some that were actually good because of bad reviews. Be responsible before you judge. When a film doesn't do well, it is not only the producer or the actors who suffer. Hundreds of technicians and crew members, who work incredibly hard, are also affected for many years. Let's not come to conclusions and influence others without watching the film.”

Toxic Box Office: Hindi version leads language-wise collections

Toxic: Advance booking double on discount Tuesday, limited impact on revenue
Toxic witnessed a significant rise in advance bookings across national chains, with ticket sales climbing from around 10,000 on Monday to approximately 24,000 on Tuesday. Although the number of tickets sold more than doubled, the increase did not translate into a comparable rise in gross revenue due to discounted ticket prices.
Toxic Day 7 Box Office: Film sees modest 2.2% growth on discount Tuesday
Yash-starrer Toxic collected a gross of Rs 9.25 crore on its first Tuesday (Day 7) across 12,894 shows, registering a modest 2.2% growth over the previous day’s gross of Rs 9.05 crore, as shared by trade site Sacnilk.

However, the limited growth despite discounted tickets suggests that ticket pricing may not have been the primary factor affecting the film’s box-office performance.
'If Toxic worked, no amount of “negative campaigns” could stop people from supporting it'
X user @Dir_jashwanth shared his views on Toxic and wrote, "The easiest thing is to blame negativity, campaigns and other fanbases when a film doesn’t meet expectations. If #toxic worked for the audience, no amount of “negative campaigns” could stop people from supporting it. Every big film faces criticism the real answer is to accept the audience verdict, analyse what went wrong and move on. And bringing Allu Aravind’s comments about Yash into this makes little sense. Praising Yash’s journey from #kgf and using it as inspiration for youngsters is hardly an insult. At some point, the victim card has to end. Let the audience decide. They always do."
Toxic review: 'Huge respect to Yash for this attempt'
X user @ImSimhaa took to X to post a review for Toxic that read, "TOXIC..!! Very much the fairy tale for GROWN UPS..!!! Its too DEEEEP..!! A big shoutout to the whole team for this commendable effort.. @TheNameIsYash huge respect to you for this attempt. You are INVINCIBLE!!."
Ram Gopal Varma defends Allu Aravind’s ‘who was Yash before KGF?’ Remark amid Toxic debate
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has come out in support of producer Allu Aravind over his controversial “Who was Yash before KGF?” remark, which has resurfaced amid the mixed response to Yash’s Toxic. Varma argued that the statement was being unnecessarily taken personally, pointing out that Yash was not widely known among Hindi-speaking audiences before KGF, just as Prabhas and Rishab Shetty gained much wider recognition outside their home industries after Baahubali and Kantara, respectively. He called the controversy “ridiculously laughable” and suggested that Aravind’s comment was about the difference between regional and pan-India recognition rather than an attempt to undermine Yash’s career.

'Victim card’ narrative around Toxic
X page Aakashavaani has criticised what it described as the ongoing “victim card” narrative surrounding Yash-starrer Toxic, arguing that the film’s team and fans should accept the audience response seven days after its release. In a strongly worded post, the page questioned why some supporters were continuing to blame an alleged negative campaign against the film.
The post read, "How difficult is it to accept the people’s verdict and move on? It's been seven days since the release of #toxic, yet the victim card playing continues. It's understandable if emotionally driven fans try to come up with silly reasons, but it's amusing to see a family member of the hero talking nonsense like fanatics do. ‘Most of us didn't know who Yash is before KGF but we all loved his performance in KGF, made the film a huge hit and made him a household name’, was the statement made by Allu Aravind a few months ago. He used this statement as a reference to inspire youngsters. What's wrong with it? He used your name to inspire aspiring actors and filmmakers, Isn't it a thing to be proud of? Allu Aravind released Kantara Part One and Mahavatar Narsimha in Telugu. He believed in the content of those two films and released them even before those two films went on to become crowd favourites. Notably, both the films are from the Kannada film industry. Why would Allu Aravind or anyone from the Telugu film industry run a negative campaign on other films? For all you know, no one is jobless here to run negative campaigns on you or your films. It’s high time a section of people come out of delusion. Accept that the film did not live up to expectations and move on. If the movie is good, people will support it and if it is bad, people will troll it. It is as simple as that. In fact, the Telugu media, especially the box office portals, did not publish any negative articles or raise doubts on the day-one Hindi nett number. They all just published the number without raising any concerns. Everyone in the Telugu media knows how the 50 crore nett number was achieved but none raised concerns. You should thank them instead of trolling or playing the victim card."
Hanuman Ansh Day 26 vs Toxic Day 7
