The anticipation for the upcoming box office clash between Ranveer Singh's film 'Dhruvandar 2' and Yash's film 'Toxic' is on the rise as both films are set to be released on March 19. Social media has ignited debates among fans, with some believing that Yash's appeal is the key weapon for 'Toxic', while others have high expectations for the movie-making quality of 'Dhruvandar 2' that matches its predecessor. This head-to-head competition highlights the excitement and divided loyalties prevalent among Indian film audiences.

Both movies are slated for pan-India releases across multiple languages, which broadens their audience reach significantly. 'Dhruvandar', which was previously released solely in Hindi, had an exceptional box office performance, grossing over 1000 crores in India alone. Its success in the northern regions particularly hints at strong potential for the film to outshine 'Toxic', especially with its dubbed versions catering to audiences in the South. This leads to speculation about 'Toxic' facing fierce competition despite being rooted in South Indian cinema.

One factor that weighs heavily on the makers of 'Toxic' is the unprecedented success of the original 'Dhruvandar'. Released in December 2025, the first installment created a monumental benchmark in Hindi cinema, becoming a one-language film that achieved such a remarkable gross. As the two films gear up for their release, the pressure on 'Toxic' may increase, potentially affecting its performance in contrast to 'Dhruvandar 2', which has established its reputation among audiences.
