By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 5 Feb 2026 3:30 PM ISTThe Bollywood box office is getting ready for a big clash. Two large films, Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic, are set to release on the same day, March 19. Because both films have huge expectations, the competition is expected to be very intense.
Dhurandhar was a massive success in Bollywood. The first part was released only in Hindi but it surprised everyone by collecting nearly Rs 1250 crore worldwide. Due to this unexpected success, the film gained attention across the country. Seeing the strong response, the makers decided to make Dhurandhar 2 a bigger project. This time, the sequel is planned as a multi-language release targeting audiences all over India and overseas.
The second part stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role Fans believe that Dhurandhar 2 will match or even cross the impact of the first film. Because of this, expectations around the sequel are very high.
However, the challenge comes from Toxic, which is releasing on the same day. The film stars Yash, who enjoys a massive fan following after the success of the KGF series. Toxic is a pan-India film, and its teaser has already created strong buzz. Yash’s powerful style and action image have raised excitement among movie lovers.
The main issue now is screen sharing. Since both films are big releases, theatres will have to divide screens between them. Trade experts say this could affect the opening collections, especially in India. Even a good film can suffer if it does not get enough screens.
Many analysts feel that Toxic may get more screens due to Yash’s pan-India appeal. At the same time, if Dhurandhar 2 delivers strong content, it can still perform well despite the competition.
However there are also talks that Toxic mat postpone and give way to Dhurandhar 2. If it happens, then Dhuardhar would get great advantage.
Meanwhile if both get released then March 19 is set to witness a major box office battle. Which film will win and which will face losses will be known only after release. For now, all eyes are on this high-voltage clash.
