Karnataka has witnessed some phenomenal opening days over the years, with star power and massive fan celebrations driving record-breaking collections.

Leading the chart is KGF: Chapter 2 (2022), which remains the all-time opening day record holder in Karnataka with an extraordinary ₹35 crore gross. The Yash-starrer set a benchmark that is yet to be surpassed.

At No. 2 is James (2022), starring the late Puneeth Rajkumar. Released amid an emotional wave, the film collected over ₹27 crore on its opening day, making it one of the biggest openings in the state's history.

The third spot belongs to Kantara: Chapter 1 (2025), which stormed the Karnataka box office with a massive ₹25.2 crore+ opening, proving the franchise's unparalleled popularity.

At No. 4 is Vikrant Rona (2022), starring Kichcha Sudeep, which opened to an impressive ₹18.5 crore+ gross in Karnataka.

Completing the top five is Roberrt (2021). Darshan's action entertainer collected ₹17 crore+ on its first day, setting a new benchmark at the time.

Now, all eyes are on #ToxicTheMovie. With Yash returning after the historic success of KGF: Chapter 2, trade expectations are sky-high. If the film receives strong advance bookings and positive word of mouth, it has every chance of challenging the existing opening day record and becoming the new No. 1 opener in Karnataka.

Where do you think #ToxicTheMovie will finish on this list? Will it create a new all-time opening day record?
