Ranveer Singh hasn’t even stepped into theatres yet, and he’s already rewriting Indian cinema’s record books in America. Dhurandhar: The Revenge has officially crossed USD 2.50 million in US advance sales — a number so staggering that even die-hard box office trackers had to do a double-take.
Dhurandhar: A Milestone No Bollywood Film Has Touched Before
This isn’t just another pre-release hype number. Context is everything here. Only three Bollywood films — Pathaan, Jawan, and Animal — had ever crossed the USD 1 million mark in US pre-sales. All three reached that figure just a day or two before release. Dhurandhar: The Revenge crossed it a full twelve days before release day.
Since then, the momentum has only accelerated. Within just three days of crossing USD 1 million, the film had already doubled that, reaching USD 2 million — driven in large part by a 40% booking spike triggered by the trailer launch. Outlook India The USD 2.50 million milestone followed shortly after, cementing its place in the record books.

India Is Equally on Fire

Can It Challenge the All-Time Records?
The all-time US record for an Indian film in advance sales belongs to Baahubali: The Conclusion at north of USD 4 million. While Dhurandhar: The Revenge may not cross that in dollar terms, it could potentially surpass it in total tickets sold — given that South Indian films command far higher premium pricing per ticket.

The Indian diaspora in the United States has historically been a massive driver of Bollywood box office overseas, and this film is clearly tapping into that energy at an unprecedented scale. With USD 3.50 million in total overseas pre-sales for its opening weekend, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already surpassed the entire overseas opening weekend collection of its predecessor. NewsX
