With just a month to go, excitement is building around one of the biggest cinematic clashes of the year — Dhurandhar 2 versus Toxic. The highly anticipated faceoff, already dubbed “Dhuroxic” by fans, promises fireworks at the box office.
Dhurandhar 2, riding on the massive success of its predecessor, carries the momentum of a loyal fan base and strong commercial expectations. The first film struck gold with audiences, and the sequel is expected to scale up the action, drama and emotional intensity. Trade analysts believe the franchise advantage could give it a powerful opening weekend.
On the other hand, Toxic has generated buzz for its edgy tone and star power. Marketed as a high-octane action entertainer with a darker narrative, the film has already sparked conversations across social media platforms. Industry watchers say its promotional strategy has been aggressive and carefully timed to build anticipation.
The timing of the clash makes it even more significant. Releasing within the same window, both films will compete not just for screens but for audience attention and repeat viewership. Multiplex chains and single-screen theatres are likely to witness packed houses, especially in major metropolitan markets.

Trade experts suggest that while opening day numbers may favour the film with stronger advance bookings, long-term performance will depend on word of mouth. Content, screenplay strength and audience connect will ultimately decide the winner in this “Dhuroxic” battle.
For cinema lovers, however, the clash means double entertainment. As the countdown begins, the industry gears up for what could be one of 2026’s defining box office moments.
