Ranveer Singh's espionage thriller 'Dhurandhar', directed by Aditya Dhar, has created significant waves at the global box office, particularly in North America. Released on December 5, 2025, the film has rapidly climbed the charts, achieving the distinction of becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of all time in the North American market. This remarkable feat was accomplished within approximately 30-33 days of its theatrical run. The film surpassed the lifetime North American collection of Prabhas and Deepika Padukone's 'Kalki 2898 AD', which had accumulated $18.57 million. As of January 7, 2026, 'Dhurandhar' reportedly garnered $19.34 million in North America, positioning it directly behind 'Baahubali 2', which holds the top spot with $22 million. Reports from early January 2026 confirmed 'Dhurandhar' had officially exceeded 'Kalki 2898 AD's' figures, with some outlets stating it crossed $18.57 million by January 4, 2026. Globally, 'Dhurandhar' has also been a massive success, with its worldwide box office collection crossing ₹1200 crore (approximately $150 million). This performance is particularly noteworthy as the film was not released in the Middle East, a significant overseas market for Indian films. The film's strong run continued into its fifth week, maintaining momentum despite a natural slowdown in daily earnings. Its success highlights the growing international appeal of Indian cinema and Ranveer Singh's strong pull with overseas audiences. A sequel, 'Dhurandhar Part 2', is already announced for release on March 19, 2026.
