Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s spy-action thriller, Dhurandhar, is proving to be an unstoppable juggernaut at the global box office. After a thunderous run in India, the film has now scripted history in the North American (USA & Canada) circuit, shattering major records held by industry stalwarts like Aamir Khan.
Shattering the ‘Dangal’ Barrier: Now the 4th Highest Grosser
In a massive feat, Dhurandhar has officially surpassed the lifetime collections of Aamir Khan’s Dangal in North America. According to the latest trade reports, the film has amassed a staggering $13.11 million (approx. INR 117.44 crores) in just 19 days.
- Ranveer’s Personal Best: It has eclipsed Padmaavat to become the highest-grossing film of Ranveer Singh’s career in the USA/Canada market.
- The $10 Million Club: This is Ranveer’s third film to cross the prestigious $10 million milestone overseas, cementing his status as a global superstar.
Battle of the Superstars: Ranveer Singh vs. Ranbir Kapoor
The box office battle has now narrowed down to a face-off between two of the biggest stars of this generation: Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor.
Dhurandhar is now eyeing the Top 3 spot, currently held by Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal.
- The Gap: The film needs just $2.12 million (approx. INR 17.65 crores) more to dethrone Animal.
- The Road Ahead: Once it clears the Animal hurdle, Dhurandhar will challenge the ultimate throne occupied by Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan.
All-Time Top 5 Bollywood Grossers (North America)
| Rank | Movie | Box Office Collection (USD) |
| 1 | Pathaan | $17.49 Million |
| 2 | Jawan | $15.23 Million |
| 3 | Animal | $15.00 Million |

Worldwide Dominance: The 1000-Crore Vision
Beyond the shores of North America, Dhurandhar is creating a storm worldwide. With a global tally already crossing ₹935 crores, the film is on the verge of entering the elite ₹1000-crore club. If it achieves this, it will be the first film in Ranveer Singh’s career to hit the quadruple-digit milestone.
Expert Take: Trade analysts credit the film’s success to Aditya Dhar’s slick direction and a gripping “cliffhanger” ending that has left audiences demanding more. Despite its long runtime, the repeat value remains exceptionally high.
The Verdict: With the current momentum, Dhurandhar is expected to comfortably beat Animal by the end of the week. Whether it can challenge the “King Khan” duo of Pathaan and Jawan remains the ultimate mystery.
