New York/Hyderabad, April 4, 2026 — Ranveer Singh and director Aditya Dhar’s high-octane spy thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues its unstoppable rampage at the international box office, setting multiple records in overseas markets despite not releasing in key Gulf territories. The film has already grossed over Rs 370-379 crore (approximately $40-41 million) from international markets in just 15-16 days, positioning it among the highest-grossing Bollywood films ever abroad.
In a remarkable achievement, Dhurandhar 2 has surpassed the lifetime North American collection of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion within nine days of release, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film ever in the US and Canada. It also overtook the first part of the franchise (Dhurandhar, which earned Rs 299.35 crore overseas lifetime) in record time and has now crossed Aamir Khan’s PK (Rs 342.5 crore) to rank as the 7th highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time at the overseas box office.Koimoi
Explosive Opening and Key Milestones Overseas
The film opened to historic numbers internationally, raking in around $22 million in its opening weekend — the highest-ever for any Bollywood film — even without the Gulf markets. In North America alone, it collected $9.6 million in the opening weekend, securing the third spot on the overall box office chart that weekend.
- Biggest Hindi opener overseas: Dhurandhar 2 recorded the highest opening weekend for any Indian film abroad.
- North America dominance: Crossed $20.80 million in nine days, breaking Baahubali 2’s decade-old record. It has since pushed further, with strong contributions from the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and Hong Kong.
- Australia & other markets: Emerged as one of the top grossers in Australia, with massive openings reported in the UK-Ireland circuit as well (over Rs 20 crore in the opening weekend).
By Day 7, overseas collections had already touched Rs 250-273 crore, surpassing the lifetime overseas total of Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal (Rs 257 crore). The film has maintained strong holds, adding significant amounts even on weekdays, with a notable jump of over Rs 13 crore on one of the recent days.Indiatoday
As of the latest updates (around Day 15-16), overseas gross stands at approximately Rs 375-379 crore, placing it just behind Jawan (Rs 406 crore) and Pathaan (Rs 412 crore) in the all-time Bollywood overseas rankings. If the current momentum continues, it is on track to enter the top 5.Koimoi
Worldwide Impact and India Contribution
Backed by a massive domestic run (India gross crossing Rs 1,148 crore with net nearing Rs 960 crore), Dhurandhar 2 has become one of the fastest films to enter the Rs 1,500 crore worldwide club, achieving the milestone in just 15-16 days. Total worldwide gross now stands at Rs 1,523 crore+, making it the second Bollywood film after Dangal to reach this mark so quickly.
Notably, the sequel has already surpassed the first film’s worldwide lifetime collection in a fraction of the time. It also holds the record for the biggest worldwide opening for a Bollywood film.
Why This Overseas Performance is Extraordinary
Industry observers highlight that Dhurandhar 2 achieved these numbers without a release in the Gulf countries, a market that traditionally boosts Indian films significantly. Strong word-of-mouth, Ranveer Singh’s star power, high-octane action sequences, and strategic releases in non-traditional territories (including parts of Europe, Latin America, and Asia) have driven the success.
The film earned praise for its premium previews (highest ever for a Bollywood film in the US/Canada) and consistent daily collections exceeding $4 million in the early days.
Cast, Crew, and Production
Directed by Aditya Dhar (who previously helmed the first Dhurandhar), the film stars Ranveer Singh in the lead, with key supporting roles by Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and others. Produced on a grand scale by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is a high-budget spy-action thriller with a runtime of over 3 hours, featuring intense action and emotional depth.
What’s Next?
With strong weekday holds and the third weekend approaching, trade analysts predict Dhurandhar 2 could push overseas collections towards the Rs 400-450 crore mark and worldwide totals close to or beyond Rs 1,800-2,000 crore. The film is already being celebrated as one of the biggest global Indian blockbusters of all time.
Fans and industry insiders are eagerly watching if it can challenge the all-time overseas giants like Pathaan and Jawan, or even make a bigger dent in non-traditional markets.
