SCOOP: From Rs. 200 crore to Rs. 30 crore! Toxic suffers BRUTAL OTT reality check after disastrous theatrical run as digital rights remain unsold

After a disastrous theatrical run, the film’s post-theatrical streaming rights are still unsold, with reports valuing them at Rs 30 crore.

  • Released on August 26, the gangster drama Toxic starring The Yash has emerged as a significant commercial failure in India, facing unanimous negative reception and poor theatrical performance.
  • Production costs for Toxic reached ₹300 crore, yet the film generated only ₹120 crore in India and is projected to conclude its theatrical run under ₹250 crore.
  • The English release performed dismally, with only 450 tickets sold across India. Satellite recovery is expected to be nearly nil owing to the film's adult-oriented format.
  • Digital streaming rights for Toxic remain unsold, marking a significant downturn. The team initially sought more than ₹150 crore, but current valuation for post-theatrical rights has dropped to ₹30 crore.
  • Financial losses for the makers have crossed all barriers, reflecting broader challenges facing large-scale releases unable to secure profitable digital deals in the current market.
