Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' Surpasses Aamir Khan's 'PK' as 10th Biggest North American Indian Film

The film 'Dhurandhar,' starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, has proven to be a major success at the box office. The movie has not only performed exceptionally well in India but has also made a significant impact in North America. 'Dhurandhar' has now entered the list of Top 10 highest-grossing Indian films in North America, moving past Aamir Khan's 'PK'.

Notably, 'Dhurandhar' earned USD 662,000 on a recent Friday, boosting its total earnings to USD 10.81 million. This figure surpasses 'PK's' lifetime North American gross of USD 10.62 million. In fact, 'Dhurandhar' is only the 12th Indian film ever to cross the USD 10 million mark in this region. This success also marks Ranveer Singh's second-biggest hit in North America, surpassing Karan Johar's 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,' which featured Alia Bhatt. It's anticipated that 'Dhurandhar' will soon overtake Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 'Padmaavat' (USD 12.17 million), which currently holds the 9th position.

In India, the movie’s performance is equally impressive. During its second week, 'Dhurandhar' collected Rs 253.25 crore, exceeding its first-week earnings of Rs 207.25 crore.
