Yash’s Toxic has reportedly sold close to 350,000 advance tickets on BookMyShow within 24 hours of nationwide bookings opening. The action thriller is scheduled to release on August 26, with strong early demand reported across Karnataka, the Telugu states and other Indian markets.
Toxic advance booking touches 350K tickets in 24 hours
Yash’s much-awaited action thriller Toxic is generating major box office buzz even before its theatrical arrival. According to the latest booking trend, the film has sold close to 350,000 advance tickets on BookMyShow within just 24 hours of bookings opening nationwide.
The figure is significant as Toxic still has several days remaining before its August 26 theatrical release. Ticket sales have reportedly continued to rise across multiple regions, indicating strong audience interest in Yash’s return to the big screen. The response is not limited to Karnataka, where the actor enjoys a massive fan following. Advance bookings are also gaining momentum in the Telugu states and several other major markets across India.
Toxic Telugu bookings gain momentum ahead of release
Toxic is expected to receive a strong push in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, with producer and distributor Dil Raju handling the film’s release in the Telugu states. The combination of Yash’s popularity following the KGF franchise and the film’s wide promotional campaign is expected to help it secure a major opening.
BookMyShow’s interest meter for the movie has reportedly crossed one million, further highlighting the curiosity surrounding the project. The makers have also released a series of promotional materials aimed at building anticipation ahead of release day. The nationwide rollout across multiple Indian languages is another factor supporting advance ticket sales. Toxic will also be presented in premium theatrical formats, including IMAX, giving audiences more options for its large-scale action presentation.
Toxic Yash comeback drives strong box office curiosity
One of the biggest reasons behind the advance booking response is Yash’s return to cinemas following the blockbuster success of KGF: Chapter 2. His long gap from the big screen has created considerable anticipation around Toxic and raised expectations for its opening-day performance.
Director Geetu Mohandas’ distinctive filmmaking approach has also added curiosity to the project. The gangster backdrop, ambitious production scale and stylish promotional visuals suggest a different cinematic space for Yash compared with his previous appearances. The combination of a major star comeback and a large-scale action setup has helped Toxic emerge as one of the most closely watched releases of the season.
Toxic Hyderabad event adds to pre-release momentum
Promotions are set to intensify further with the Toxic team hosting a grand pre-release event in Hyderabad on Saturday, August 22. The film’s team is expected to attend the event as the campaign enters its final phase ahead of release.
With ticket sales already moving rapidly, attention will now turn to how high the advance booking numbers can climb before August 26. The early trend suggests Toxic could register a sizeable opening if the current momentum continues. For now, the booking response indicates that Yash’s theatrical comeback has captured strong audience attention, with Toxic building considerable box office momentum several days before its nationwide release.
