What is the story about?
Ranveer Singh has once again rewritten the rules of box-office success. With Dhurandhar storming past the coveted $20 million mark in North America, Ranveer doesn’t just deliver a blockbuster—he creates history. This achievement is more than a number; it is a case study moment for how Indian films, led by the right star power and vision, can command the world’s most competitive theatrical markets.
In doing so, Ranveer now stands alongside Prabhas as the only Indian stars to headline films that have crossed the $20M+ North America gross, placing him firmly in a rarefied global league. What makes this milestone even more extraordinary is its context: Dhurandhar becomes only the second Indian film after Baahubali 2 to breach this benchmark, nearly nine years later. The long wait underscores just how monumental this feat truly is—and how exceptional Ranveer’s pull has become overseas.
The film's impact is reflected not just in revenue, but in reach. Over 2 million footfalls across North America signal a phenomenal theatrical celebration, driven by packed houses, repeat viewings, and an audience connect that transcends borders. This isn’t niche diaspora success; it is mainstream resonance.
With Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh proves that Indian cinema’s global ambitions are no longer aspirational—they are achievable. His triumph marks a defining moment where performance, scale, and star power converge, reaffirming his status as a true global force and pushing Indian cinema into a bold new era on the world stage.
Trade analysts have pointed out that Dhurandhar’s run stands apart not just because of its opening numbers, but due to its remarkable hold, repeat audiences, and consistent footfalls across metros and mass belts alike.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar is directed by Aditya Dhar and stars Ranveer Singh in the lead. The film also featured Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi and Arjun Rampal. The second part of the film is gearing up for Eid release this year.
