Dhurandhar: The Revenge has created history at the North American box office by crossing the remarkable $25 million gross mark, becoming the first ever Indian film to achieve this milestone in the region.
The film’s sensational run has once again proved the massive popularity of the franchise among overseas audiences, especially in North America, where it has been setting new benchmarks since its release.
Historic North American Milestones
With this achievement, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has now entered the record books by reaching a landmark that no Indian film had touched before. The journey to this milestone shows the remarkable growth of Indian cinema in the North American market over the past two decades.
| Milestone | Film | Year |
|---|---|---|
| First $5M | 3 Idiots | 2009 |
| First $10M | Dangal | 2016 |
| First $15M | Baahubali 2 | 2017 |
| First $20M | Baahubali 2 | 2017 |
| First $25M | Dhurandhar: The Revenge | 2026 |
The franchise has consistently delivered blockbuster results, with the film previously crossing ₹1000 crore to become the first A-rated Indian film to achieve that domestic milestone.
Box Office Outlook
Before release, trade circles were highly optimistic and expected the film to target the $30 million mark in its full run. However, the movie has witnessed a noticeable dip in collections during the current week, which has significantly reduced its chances of reaching that milestone.
Even if it falls short of $30 million, the performance of Dhurandhar: The Revenge in North America remains phenomenal, as it has already achieved an unprecedented record that may take time to be beaten.
Dhurandhar 2 has not only emerged as a blockbuster but has also redefined the potential of Indian cinema in the North American market. The film’s success comes after it emerged as the biggest Hindi film in the region, surpassing previous benchmarks.
