It reached the CAD 10 million milestone in record time, thanks to its massive release across 125+ screens in Canada alone.
2. Animal (2023)
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s polarising masterpiece held the top spot for years. The raw, visceral energy of Ranbir Kapoor’s performance turned Animal into an “All-Time Blockbuster” in Canada, proving that intense, character-driven dramas have a massive appetite abroad.

The film that marked the grand return of Shah Rukh Khan, Pathaan was a trailblazer. It was the first to truly open the floodgates for the CAD 6 million club, setting a benchmark for scale and slick action choreography in the YRF Spy Universe.

Following closely behind Pathaan, Jawan solidified SRK’s dominance in the overseas market. Its themes of social justice combined with Atlee’s mass-commercial filmmaking style made it a repeat-watch favorite for families in major Canadian cities.
5. Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024/25)
Allu Arjun’s “Pushpa Raj” became a global icon, and the sequel’s performance in Canada proved that South Indian cinema (Tollywood) is no longer a “niche” market but a mainstream juggernaut that rivals Bollywood’s biggest hits.
