Yash Toxic poster release date: The countdown to one of 2026’s most anticipated films has officially begun. With exactly 100 days left for the release of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, the makers have ignited fresh excitement by unveiling a bold new poster featuring Yash in a haunting, blood-soaked avatar. The image has quickly set social media ablaze, adding more fuel to the already surging anticipation around the project.

The film is scheduled to arrive on March 19, 2026, perfectly positioned for the festive lineup of Gudi Padwa, Ugadi and Eid. The strategic four-day holiday window is expected to give Toxic a strong boost at the box office. However, it will also face tough competition with Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar 2, which will release in theatres on the same date.

Both Movies are going to be huge. #Toxic & #Dhurandhar2.” Another commented, “Let’s be honest, it would be foolish to keep the same date and Dhurandhar 2 will eat this film alive otherwise… Dhurandhar 2 is taking 50cr + Opening minimum.”
