Yash-led Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, which was one of the biggest and most highly anticipated films of the year, seems to be receiving a disastrous response at the box office. On Day 3, a leading theatre chain in Noida had zero audience for its 9 am show. The 10:30 am show had just five people in a 300-seater theatre.
