Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar continues its extraordinary box office march not only in India where it has become the 5th biggest hit of all time but now also in North America- the biggest market for Hindi films outside of India.The film has now officially surpassed Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal to emerge as the 7th biggest Indian film of all time in North America. By Friday morning, Dhurandhar had collected USD 15.09 million, edging past Animal’s final North American tally of USD 15.01 million and this is before Friday’s numbers are even accounted for. It has also become the biggest grosser for Ranveer Singh in the circuit after beating the collection of his past films like Padmaavat and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Animal directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and featuring Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol , Rashmika Mandanna and Triptii Dimri has gone on to collect Rs 553.87 crore in India, becoming the biggest hit of Ranbir’s career and one of the biggest hits of India Cinema. In comparison Ranveer’s film has collected Rs 648.5 crore in just 22 days. Dhurandhar has become the 5th biggest hit of Indian cinema, overtaking Nag Ashwin and Prabhas’s Kalki 2898 AD, which had wrapped up its lifetime run at Rs 646.31 crore. Kalki featured a stellar cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone, and was mounted as a futuristic, mythological spectacle released in five languages with a full pan-India rollout. In sharp contrast, Dhurandhar is a Hindi-only release, making its ability to outperform such a large-scale, multilingual film all the more remarkable.Backed by a strong ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Gaurav Gera, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun, Dhurandhar is now gearing up for its second part on 19 March 2026, which will release in five languages.For now, by beating Animal in North America and dominating both domestic and overseas charts, Dhurandhar has firmly cemented itself as one of the defining box office success stories of the decade.
