Dhurandhar 2 Box Office Collection Overseas Day 1: United States, Canada, Australia, UK and New Zealand Analysis
The global box office maps are turning red as Dhurandhar 2 hits the international markets. Is Ranveer Singh the new king of North America?
It is Friday morning in Mumbai, and the trade circuits are buzzing with numbers that feel like a fever dream for any distributor. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has not just opened; it has exploded across the globe with an overseas opening day collection of USD 5.225 Million.
When you combine this with the massive gross of ₹127 Crore recorded on Thursday, you are looking at a film that is breathing down the neck of every major record in the book. The United States alone has contributed a jaw-dropping USD 2.95 Million, proving that the combination of Aditya Dhar’s clinical direction and Ranveer Singh’s raw energy is a lethal export.
Dhurandhar 2: The RevengeDay 1
This is the kind of start that turns a movie into a movement, especially when the domestic net collections have already comfortably breached the ₹100 Crore mark on Day 1.
The chemistry between Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh seems to have tapped into a specific global curiosity about high-stakes Indian espionage. You can see it in the way the audience in North America is reacting to the gritty Karachi underworld depicted on screen. This isn’t your typical flashy spy thriller; it is long, dense, and deeply atmospheric.
Ranveer Singh plays a double game as Jaskirat Singh Rangi and Hamza Ali Mazari, and the overseas crowd is clearly buying into his conflict. While the first part was a sleeper hit that eventually became a monster, the sequel has skipped the queue and walked straight into the big league. The presence of veterans like Sanjay Dutt and R. Madhavan has further stabilized the film’s appeal among the diaspora who want more than just mindless action. But as the lights dim and the cheers fade, one has to wonder if this initial surge is merely the result of a massive marketing blitz or if the four-hour runtime will eventually start testing the patience of the casual moviegoer.
The industry is currently riding a wave of euphoria, but let’s look at the situation through a cold, analytical lens. Is a four-hour A-rated film truly capable of maintaining this velocity over a traditional four-day weekend? We have seen many “front-loaded” films crash after the initial fan frenzy settles down, and with ticket prices in the US and Canada reaching premium levels, the stakes are incredibly high.
The real test isn’t the opening day record; it is the Saturday night hold in cities like Toronto and New York. If the word-of-mouth stays as polarized as some early reviews suggest, we might see a significant drop sooner than expected. Are we celebrating a long-term winner or just an expensive, high-voltage opening that might lose its breath by Monday?
The evidence on the ground, however, remains undeniably strong for now. In Canada, the film has raked in a solid USD 775,000, while the United Kingdom has contributed USD 550,000. These are not just average numbers; they represent a significant jump in the franchise’s global footprint. Australia has also joined the party with USD 515,000, showing that the “Dhurandhar” brand has successfully migrated to the Southern Hemisphere. Even smaller markets like New Zealand and Germany have chipped in with USD 60,000 and USD 150,000, respectively, ensuring that the total overseas gross stands at a healthy USD 5.225 Million.
Back home in India, the film saw a 136% jump from its paid previews to Day 1, moving from ₹44 Crore Net to a historic ₹104.14 Crore Net. This synergy between domestic and international markets is what producers dream of when they greenlight budgets north of ₹300 Crore.
| Day | Date | India Net (₹ Cr) | India Gross (₹ Cr) | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| p | 18/03/2026 | 44 Cr | 53.65 Cr | – |
| Day 01 | 19/03/2026 | 104.14 Cr | 127 Cr | +136.68% |
| TOTAL COLLECTION | – | ₹148.14 Cr | ₹180.65 Cr |
Looking ahead, the road seems clear for a massive opening weekend total that could easily cross the ₹500 Crore mark worldwide. The film is currently benefiting from a lack of major competition and a massive screen count of nearly 9,000 shows in India alone. If the overseas momentum stays steady at around USD 3-4 Million per day for the next two days, Ranveer Singh will officially enter the elite club of global Indian stars whose names alone can guarantee a USD 10 Million weekend. The fans are happy, the distributors are counting their dollars, and the spy universe seems to have found its new centre of gravity.
Aditya Dhar has once again proven that he knows how to scale a story without losing its emotional core.
My take is that this is fantastic news for the industry because it shows that audiences are willing to sit through nearly four hours of content if the intensity is right.
While the length might be a hurdle for repeat viewings, the initial curiosity and the brand value of the first part are doing the heavy lifting right now.
This is a clear victory for high-risk, high-reward filmmaking.

Do you think the 4-hour runtime will help or hurt the film’s chances of reaching the ₹1000 Crore club?
