Hyderabad, March 29: Dhurandhar 2 has scripted history at the North American box office, achieving a milestone that stood untouched for nearly a decade. The Ranveer Singh-led spy thriller has officially surpassed the long-standing record of Baahubali 2, emerging as the highest-grossing Indian film in North America. What makes the achievement even more remarkable is that the film has reached this feat in just 10 days of its theatrical run.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has witnessed phenomenal momentum overseas, particularly in the USA and Canada markets. On day 10 alone, the film collected an estimated $2.6 million, registering a massive jump from the $1.3 million it earned the previous day. The strong second Saturday pushed its cumulative total to approximately $22.01 million, helping it surpass the lifetime collections of both Dhurandhar and Baahubali 2.
With this, Dhurandhar 2 has become only the third Indian film ever to cross the $20 million mark in North America. The response in the region has been extraordinary, with packed shows and high occupancy continuing well into the second weekend. The film’s consistent performance has stunned trade analysts, especially since it has outpaced some of the biggest Indian blockbusters in the market. The day-wise performance highlights the strong opening and sustained momentum. The film started with $3.98 million on day 1, including premieres, followed by $2.95 million on day 2 and $3.92 million on day 3. Even after the initial weekend, the collections remained steady, with the film earning $3.15 million on day 4 and maintaining decent numbers through the weekdays. After a slight dip midweek, the film bounced back strongly with a second weekend surge, culminating in the $2.6 million day 10 haul.
