Dhurandhar: The Revenge has created history by surpassing the mighty Baahubali 2: The Conclusion to become the highest-grossing Indian film ever in North America. The Ranveer Singh-starrer, which released worldwide on March 19, 2026, closed its North America run with a sensational $28.64M (₹275 Cr) gross.
Record-Breaking North America Performance
The film’s North America closing collections mark a new benchmark in Indian cinema’s overseas journey. Dhurandhar: The Revenge has broken the record previously held by Baahubali 2, which stood as the North America champion since 2017.
Here’s the territory-wise breakdown of Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s historic North America gross:
| Territory | Box Office Gross |
|---|---|
| USA | $17.68M |
| Canada | $10.96M |
| Total North America | $28.64M (₹275 Cr) |
The achievement is particularly significant given the historic $25 million milestone the film crossed earlier, becoming the first Indian film to achieve that feat in the region.
Baahubali Producer Reacts to Record
The record-breaking performance drew a gracious response from the Baahubali team. Producer Shobu Yarlagadda praised Dhurandhar 2 after the film surpassed their long-standing North America record, acknowledging the new achievement.
Can Varanasi Reclaim the Throne?
With Dhurandhar: The Revenge setting a new North America benchmark, attention now turns to whether S. S. Rajamouli can reclaim the throne with his next film Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu.
Scheduled for release on April 7, 2027, Varanasi has the potential to challenge this record. The film combines Rajamouli’s proven international appeal, Mahesh Babu’s massive popularity in the USA, and a reported budget of ₹1,400 crore, making it the most expensive Indian film ever made. The epic spans multiple timelines and continents, promising the kind of scale that could resonate with North American audiences.
