# Dhurandhar Shatters Records: Ranveer Singh's Spy Thriller Conquers North America and India! **Imagine a Bollywood blockbuster not just breaking records, but rewriting history—beating Baahubali 2's legendary second Friday haul in North America.** That's exactly what Ranveer Singh's *Dhurandhar*, directed by Aditya Dhar, has done, crossing the **USD 5 million mark** in just eight days and becoming the **4th biggest hit of the year** in the region.[1][2] This high-octane spy action drama is on fire! Starring Ranveer Singh alongside a powerhouse cast including Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun, *Dhurandhar* opened strong in North America with USD 522K on Friday, spiked to USD 852K over the weekend, and held steady through the week—hitting USD 4.4 million by Thursday before exploding to over **USD 830K on its second Friday**, edging out Baahubali 2's USD 828K benchmark.[1] Latest trends push its total to a whopping **USD 5.25 million**, with global collections surpassing Rs. 350 crores (over Rs. 250 crore nett in India).[2] Fans are calling it Ranveer's definitive comeback, backed by North America's love for his films like *Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani* (USD 10M+) and *Padmaavat* (USD 12M+).[1] But the momentum isn't slowing—it's accelerating! In India, Day 9 advance booking has already sold **6.2 lakh tickets** (grossing Rs. 21 crores), a 169% jump from Day 8, with national chains like PVR Inox and Cinepolis leading the charge (3.45 lakh tickets).[3] Day 8's second Friday netted a record-breaking **Rs. 35 crores**—the highest ever, surpassing *Pushpa 2* (Rs. 27.50 cr), *Chhaava*, *Animal*, *Gadar 2*, and even *Baahubali 2*.[4] With spot bookings and night shows expected to push Day 9 towards **Rs. 45-50 crore nett**, *Dhurandhar* is eyeing the Rs. 500 crore club domestically and setting up hype for a potential Part 2 in March 2026.[5]
