The actor surpasses Ranbir Kapoor In North America!
Not Allu Arjun, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan or Shah Rukh Khan — this actor has quietly rewritten the rules of the global box office. Emerging as the biggest force behind Indian cinema’s highest-grossing Hindi releases worldwide, he has delivered record-breaking numbers that resonate far beyond domestic borders. With consistent global appeal, strong diaspora connect, and massive theatrical pull, he now stands as one of the most bankable faces of Indian cinema and the highest grossing Bollywood star… it is none other than Ranveer Singh.
Ranveer Singh has once again redefined what Indian cinema can achieve on the global stage. With Dhurandhar storming past the prestigious $20 million mark in North America, Ranveer hasn’t merely delivered a blockbuster — he has created a watershed moment for the industry. At a time when overseas success is often limited to select franchises or regions, this achievement stands out as a powerful statement of star power, scale, and audience connect. Most notably, his films have outperformed even Ranbir Kapoor in the highly competitive North American market, a territory traditionally dominated by select Bollywood heavyweights and only Prabhas above Ranveer from Indian cinema.
Crossing $20 million in North America is no ordinary feat. It places Ranveer Singh alongside Prabhas as the only Indian stars to headline films that have achieved this benchmark. Even more striking is the historical context. Dhurandhar becomes just the second Indian film after Baahubali 2: The Conclusion to cross this milestone — nearly nine years after the magnum opus set the bar. The long gap underscores how rare and exceptional this achievement truly is.
What makes the success of Dhurandhar especially significant is that it goes beyond numbers. The film has recorded over 2 million footfalls across North America, reflecting packed theatres, repeat audiences, and genuine word-of-mouth traction. This is not restricted to diaspora-driven viewing; it is a case of Indian cinema finding mainstream acceptance in one of the most competitive theatrical markets in the world.
Back home, the film’s dominance has been equally emphatic. Dhurandhar has amassed a staggering ₹869.80 crore in total collections, reinforcing its status as one of the biggest grossers in Indian cinema history. The consistency between domestic and international performance highlights Ranveer Singh’s rare ability to bridge markets seamlessly.
With Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh proves that Indian cinema’s global ambitions are no longer aspirational — they are achievable. This triumph marks a defining moment where performance, scale, and stardom converge, cementing his position as a true global force and pushing Indian cinema into a confident, bold new era.
