Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge On The Verge Of Historic $28 Million Milestone; Poised To Become First Indian Film In History To Reach This Landmark In North America

The Indian box office narrative in the North American territory is being completely rewritten by the unstoppable juggernaut, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. After shattering a decade-long hierarchy, the film is now on the home stretch to achieve a feat that was once considered impossible for Indian cinema: the $28 million mark. As the film concludes its fourth Tuesday, the data suggests that it is not just surviving but thriving, with its theatrical legs proving to be as strong as its record-breaking opening week.

According to tracking data provided by Venky Box Office, Dhurandhar 2 has shown exceptional resilience during this current stretch. The film saw a healthy Friday at $179K, which jumped significantly on Saturday to record $288K. While Sunday naturally eased to $208K, the most impressive trend emerged during the transition into the workweek. After a Monday total of $52K, the film witnessed a phenomenal 92 percent surge on Tuesday, raking in $100K. This massive mid-week spike has pushed the cumulative total to a staggering $27.73 million as of Tuesday night. The film is now moving toward the $28 million target, which it is expected to reach by this Friday.

The pace at which this sequel has operated is nothing short of legendary. To put things into perspective, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge surpassed Baahubali 2: The Conclusion as the highest-grossing Indian film in North America within just 9 days of its release. By March 29, 2026, it had already crossed the $20.80 million mark, shattering a nine-year-old record that many thought would never be broken. By that 9th day, the films total North America collection was already standing at $25 million plus, highlighting the unprecedented scale and demand for this franchise.

As we enter the fifth weekend, the film is navigating a crucial phase. Much like other major blockbusters, Dhurandhar 2 will face a reduction in show counts as new releases arrive in theaters. However, the average ticket price has been adjusted to make it highly affordable for repeat audiences. This strategy is expected to attract moviegoers who want to experience the spectacle again, even as show counts naturally dip from their peak levels. The ability to pull in $100K on a Tuesday in its fourth week proves that the word-of-mouth remains potent and the film is still the first choice for the diaspora audience in the USA and Canada.

While PART 1 Dhurandhar was a massive success with a $20.65 million lifetime gross, this sequel has catapulted the brand into a different stratosphere. The film now sits comfortably at the throne of North American grossers. Below is a look at the highest-grossing Indian films in the North American market:

Beyond the massive success in North America, the film has also emerged as a dominant force across other international territories. Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already topped benchmarks and set new milestones in Australia, Germany, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, cementing its status as a global blockbuster. What makes this worldwide collection even more remarkable is the fact that the film did not have a release in the Gulf market, which is traditionally a major revenue generator for Indian cinema. Even without that contribution, the sequel has managed to rewrite history books across the globe and prove its universal appeal among the diaspora.
