Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is a movie that Yash is going to play at the Urvashi Theatre in Bengaluru, another big deal since it’s the first to happen in Kannada film. It’s a big deal because Urvashi is one of the city’s top single screens and they have a history of bringing big Kannada movies there.
The Bengaluru theatrical market is always a key factor in the success of major Kannada films and Urvashi Theatre is an essential part of the city’s cinema culture. For many years the theatre has been full of celebrations for big releases and films with some of Sandalwood’s biggest stars. Toxic being confirmed at the theatre has made it easier for the film to get a big audience on its opening day.
As of now, the news about early bookings for Toxic at Urvashi Theatre is spreading among film lovers. The fans are closely monitoring booking platforms and theatre news that ticket sales are already through. Yash is very popular so bookings could be in demand for the first day and first show screenings.
The current venue record in Urvashi Theatre is the one held by K.G.F: Chapter 2, another biggie with Yash. The movie had an opening day gross of ₹43.52 lakh from 7 performances at the theatre. That has become an important benchmark for Yash’s coming release, and fans are already thinking Toxic will match or even exceed it.
The comparison with K.G.F: Chapter 2 is inevitable as the film made Yash a pan-Indian superstar and became one of the biggest successes in Indian cinema. Its worldwide theatrical success attracted huge attention in a wide range of languages and established Yash as an actor who could attract audiences beyond Karnataka. Toxic is also eagerly awaited, even though the new movie will be set and Yash may be different in character.
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is directed by Geetu Mohandas and Yash plays the lead. Since it was announced, it has attracted a lot of attention as it is an unusual title, very ambitious visual style (with Yash as the lead actor) and a very good director whose writing style is unique. It’s also very international and has a reported period setting.
For Bengaluru fans, the announcement at Urvashi Theatre will be even more important for the release. The theatre has always been a place to see the movie with great fanfare, and Yash’s movies have always attracted great interest in the city. When advance bookings for early shows are made, fans will rush to book the earliest ones and will be closely watched by the Kannada film industry on opening day occupancy at Urvashi Theatre.
Theatre records have become one of the most important aspects of conversation around big releases. Box office numbers alone are not what determines a movie’s success overall, but opening day theatre records are the first indication you have of interest from your audience. Now with K.G.F: Chapter 2 being the benchmark at Urvashi Theatre, we will look at Toxic and when there will be bookings.
So the advance booking is going to be a big deal for Yash fans in the future. Social media conversations are already happening on show time, ticket availability and record collections. If the initial response is good the film could see packed shows all through Bengaluru during its opening weekend.
Now the moviegoers are waiting for the official booking announcement. But with Toxic already confirmed at Urvashi Theatre and K.G.F: Chapter 2 as the all-time opening day record, it is all about the advance sales. So whether Yash’s new film can break a new one at the iconic Bengaluru venue will only be known once the tickets are sold and fans come out in force.
