The ongoing Iran-Israel conflict has unexpectedly saved Indian cinema from a massive box office clash between Yash's Toxic and Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2. Toxic's release was pushed back to June 4, avoiding a clash on March 19.
Industry experts and exhibitors are breathing a sigh of relief as two big films releasing on the same day would have eaten into each other's business and created logistical challenges for exhibitors.
With Toxic's release delayed, Dhurandhar 2 is now poised to capture 80-90% of all available screens during its solo window, giving it a clear run for a blockbuster outing.
Trade insiders predict that Toxic's absence may help Dhurandhar 2's opening weekend grow by ₹100 crore worldwide, with both films expected to have an advantage of at least 20%.
