The film ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups’ did not perform well at the box office. Yash had high hopes for this pan-India gangster drama directed by Geetu Mohandas; however, despite its grand scale and star-studded cast, the film failed to impress the audience. It received a mixed to somewhat negative response from critics, resulting in a lackluster box-office run. Now, the movie is set for an OTT release.

Following its sluggish theatrical performance, attention has shifted to its digital premiere, with fans eagerly waiting to know when and on which platform it will stream. Reports suggest the movie is all set to arrive on OTT in the coming days. Let’s find out when and where ‘Toxic’ will be released.

When and where will ‘Toxic’ be released?
According to a report by 123Telugu, ‘Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups’ could be released on the OTT platform ZEE5 on September 25, 2026. However, an official announcement regarding this date is still awaited from the makers or the OTT platform. If the film streams on this scheduled date, audiences will be able to watch it at home within about a month of its theatrical release. It is expected that the film will be released in multiple languages ​​to reach a wide audience across the country.

Plans to sell OTT rights for ₹200 crore

According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, a major streaming platform had offered the makers approximately ₹150 crore prior to the theatrical release. However, the film's team was adamant about securing a deal exceeding ₹200 crore. Now, following the film's box-office failure, OTT platforms have changed their stance and are proposing to acquire the film at a significantly lower price. There is also talk that the makers are preparing to release a separate OTT cut of *Toxic*—with some modifications—to attract digital audiences, although this has yet to be officially confirmed.

**Five Leading Ladies Star Alongside Yash**
Released in theaters on August 26, this pan-India gangster drama is directed by Geetu Mohandas. The story is set against the backdrop of post-independence Goa (the 1950s and 60s), a time and place rife with crime, drugs, and gang wars. Yash plays a gangster caught in a conflict between loyalty and the struggle to distinguish right from wrong. This action thriller features an impressive lineup of leading actresses alongside Yash, including Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth.
