Yash's gangster thriller crossed ₹245 crore net by day 12, even as trackers say it will fall well short of the ₹300 crore mark domestically.

Weeks after Toxic's box-office collapse, the pile-on against Yash and his co-stars hasn't slowed. The Free Press Journal reports YouTubers claim legal notices and asks whether the criticism has gone too far.

Yash may forgo his reported ₹100 crore fee for playing Ravana in Ramayana, opting instead for southern theatrical distribution rights, trade sources told Filmibeat Kannada, amid talk the move could offset Toxic's box office slide.

Toxic's makers turned down a Rs 150 crore streaming offer betting on a blockbuster run. The film underperformed, and platforms are now reportedly offering as little as Rs 30 crore, with Zee5 said to be the top bidder.

Ramanand Sagar's grandson Shiv Sagar says he likes most of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana casting but can't picture Ranbir Kapoor as Ram after Animal, arguing a fresh face carries no baggage.

Toxic has stalled at Rs 130.35 crore nett after 12 days, with its second weekend bringing in a mere Rs 1.75 crore. Trade estimates put the film among Bollywood's costliest failures once non-theatrical recoveries are counted.

Toxic, starring Yash in a dual role, has crossed roughly Rs 337 crore worldwide after 12 days, with a slight second-weekend bump that still trails its blockbuster opening by a wide margin.

Three very different films are sharing India's screens this week. Yash's Toxic crossed 239 crore net in 11 days, beating Nolan's Odyssey's 51-day tally, while Awarapan 2 quietly dwarfs its 2007 original.

YouTuber Prashanth Rangaswamy was reportedly eliminated from Bigg Boss Tamil 10 before entering the house, days after claiming Yash and Toxic producers sent him a legal notice over his film review.

Toxic's digital rights remain unsold nearly two weeks after release, with offers reportedly down to Rs 30 crore from an earlier Rs 200 crore ask, as industry estimates put the film's total loss at Rs 300 crore.

Toxic's Hindi collections have collapsed to barely Rs 2 crore a day even as the film's worldwide gross, boosted by Kannada and other language versions, closes in on Rs 330 crore, trade reports say.
