Will the Box Office Collections Be Affected?
With both Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic releasing on the same day, there is a possibility that their box office earnings could impact each other. Despite this, both films have the potential to register massive box office numbers.
High Expectations After Dhurandhar’s Success

Aditya Dhar’s Long-Term Vision

Director Aditya Dhar had reportedly planned Dhurandhar as a two-part franchise from the very beginning. Thanks to its strong storytelling, the first film entered the ₹1000 crore club. Similar strategies were earlier seen with films like Baahubali and Pushpa, whose sequels were planned in advance and went on to achieve massive milestones. The same formula could work for Dhurandhar 2 as well.
Will Toxic Be the Surprise Package?
At present, Dhurandhar 2 appears to have an edge due to its established franchise value. Toxic, on the other hand, is a relatively new offering for audiences. However, if Toxic delivers strong content with gripping action and an engaging storyline, the box office clash could take an unexpected turn.
