Final Thoughts
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has made a strong beginning at the box office with current worldwide reported figures crossing the ₹300 crore mark after six days. However, there’s still much left to be done with the film. It has got a terrific first week which has been followed by a dramatic Monday slowdown, and audience response is split. It will be seen in the next few days if Bhoopathi is able to get any momentum going and make this big opening translate to a long run success in the box-office.
