Two very different films are currently attracting attention at the box office. On one side is Yash's massive action entertainer Toxic, reportedly made on a budget of around ₹500 crore. On the other is the much smaller spiritual film Hanuman Ansh, whose reported budget is just ₹2 crore.

Yash's star power helped Toxic register a huge opening, but its collections witnessed a significant decline on the second day. Meanwhile, Hanuman Ansh struggled to attract audiences during its initial run but has subsequently shown an improvement in collections.

The absolute box-office numbers of the two films cannot realistically be compared because of their vastly different scale, release size and budgets. However, when their collections are viewed against their reported production costs, Hanuman Ansh presents an interesting picture.

How Much Has Yash's Toxic Earned?

According to figures attributed to Sacnilk, Toxic has collected approximately ₹138.65 crore net in India in its first two days.

Its India gross collection reportedly stands at around ₹165.85 crore, while overseas markets have contributed approximately ₹24.25 crore.

This takes Toxic's estimated worldwide gross collection to around ₹190.10 crore in two days.

The numbers are undoubtedly huge for just 48 hours of theatrical business. However, expectations surrounding Toxic are also considerably higher because of its reported ₹500 crore budget and Yash's enormous popularity following the KGF franchise.

After a powerful opening, the decline witnessed on Day 2 has therefore become a key talking point.

Toxic Box Office Collection in 2 Days

According to the reported figures:

• India net collection: ₹138.65 crore
• India gross collection: ₹165.85 crore
• Overseas collection: ₹24.25 crore
• Worldwide gross: ₹190.10 crore
• Reported budget: Around ₹500 crore

The film is now approaching the ₹200 crore worldwide mark, and its weekend performance could provide a clearer indication of how strongly it can sustain its theatrical run.

Hanuman Ansh Shows Unexpected Box Office Growth

While Toxic entered theatres with massive hype, Hanuman Ansh has followed an entirely different box-office trajectory.

The spiritual film reportedly struggled during the first couple of weeks and initially showed little indication of becoming a major theatrical performer.

According to the figures cited, Hanuman Ansh collected around ₹1.40 crore during its first 16 days.

However, the film subsequently witnessed an unusual jump in business as more viewers began turning up.

Its cumulative India net collection has now reportedly climbed to approximately ₹11.98 crore, while its gross collection is said to have reached around ₹14 crore.

For a movie reportedly produced on a budget of approximately ₹2 crore, those numbers make its performance particularly noteworthy.

Hanuman Ansh Collection vs Reported Budget

The reported figures show just how dramatically the movie's fortunes have changed.

With an estimated production budget of around ₹2 crore and a net collection approaching ₹12 crore, Hanuman Ansh has collected several times its reported budget at the Indian box office.

However, box-office collections should not be directly equated with a producer's profit. The theatrical gross is divided among cinemas, distributors and other stakeholders, while a movie can also generate additional revenue through streaming, satellite, music and other rights.

Even with that distinction, Hanuman Ansh's theatrical performance relative to its reported scale is impressive.

Toxic vs Hanuman Ansh: Which Film Is Performing Better?

In absolute numbers, there is no competition.

Toxic's worldwide gross of approximately ₹190 crore is many times larger than Hanuman Ansh's reported collection.

But the comparison becomes more interesting when budgets are considered.

Toxic reportedly cost around ₹500 crore, while Hanuman Ansh reportedly had a budget of only ₹2 crore.

This means both films entered theatres with completely different financial expectations.

For Toxic, a ₹200 crore worldwide collection represents a massive start, but the movie needs sustained theatrical business because of its much larger scale.

For Hanuman Ansh, even comparatively modest daily collections can make a substantial difference because its reported production cost is dramatically lower.

Why Toxic's Next Few Days Are Crucial

The biggest concern for Toxic isn't its overall two-day total but the reported decline following its blockbuster opening.

Big event films often generate enormous first-day numbers because of advance bookings, fan shows and initial excitement. What happens after that frequently depends on audience response and word of mouth.

If Toxic witnesses a strong weekend jump, the second-day decline may become less significant.

But if collections continue falling, reaching the gigantic lifetime numbers expected from a film of this scale could become more challenging.

Hanuman Ansh Finds Its Audience After a Slow Start

Hanuman Ansh appears to demonstrate the opposite box-office pattern.

Instead of beginning strongly and slowing down, the film reportedly started with very modest numbers before gradually attracting more viewers.

Such films can sometimes benefit from word of mouth, especially when their production budgets are relatively small and they are able to remain in theatres long enough to find an audience.

The coming days will reveal whether Hanuman Ansh can maintain this momentum and push its lifetime collection even higher.

For now, Toxic remains far ahead in total earnings, but Hanuman Ansh stands out for how strongly it has performed relative to its reported ₹2 crore budget—making this big-budget-versus-small-film box-office story an interesting one to watch.
