The Bollywood overseas box office just got a total shake-up. Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar The Revenge has shot straight to number three on the all-time Hindi overseas grossers list, raking in an impressive $43.25 million and counting. Only Shah Rukh Khan’s mega-hits Pathaan and Jawan are ahead, but honestly, the gap is closing, and Dhurandhar isn’t slowing down just yet. Pathaan is probably untouchable for now, but that number two spot? Suddenly it looks a lot more vulnerable. Keep in mind, this milestone comes just a few weeks after release, proving, once again, that the reach of Hindi cinema is stretching way further than the same old markets. Dhurandhar The Revenge has already left its predecessor, and several other huge names, in the dust. This list only counts original Hindi releases, so no dubbed versions or remakes muddying the numbers. Here’s the current top ten:

1. Pathaan - $48.5 million
2. Jawan - $46.9 million
3. Dhurandhar The Revenge - $43.25 million+
4. Dhurandhar - $32.5 million
5. Dangal - $30.7 million
6. Padmaavat - $29.14 million
7. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - $28.64 million
8. Dhoom 3 - $28.33 million
9. Animal - $27.21 million
10. Dilwale - $26.58 million

Note: Numbers as of 8th April, 2026

Dhurandhar The Revenge isn’t just a solid performer, it’s one of the strongest overseas runs from recent years. Its opening numbers in North America, the UK, Canada, and Australia were huge. What’s wild is that it broke records in several countries without needing to lean on the Gulf markets at all. That’s rare. Ranveer Singh’s star power clearly has some international muscle. The film picked up right where the 2025 original left off (that one made $32.5 million overseas) and took the franchise potential to a whole new level.

Pathaan and Jawan, both starring Shah Rukh Khan, still rule the top two spots. They set box office records for Hindi films in 2023 and are still the standard for post-pandemic hits overseas. For now, Dhurandhar The Revenge is closing in fast on Jawan and managed all this in just 20 days. The pace has eased a bit lately, so it might hold in third place, but if the film hangs on in big markets, don’t be surprised if it edges past Jawan.

On the broader front, these rankings show some interesting patterns. Dangal sits at number five and still proves Aamir Khan’s films have serious long-term appeal. Movies like Padmaavat and Bajrangi Bhaijaan remind us that stories packed with emotion travel well. Older releases like Dhoom 3 and Dilwale show how action and romance used to rule overseas, while newer entries like Animal signal that intense, star-driven films are as hot as ever.

A couple of things worked out especially well for Dhurandhar The Revenge. The timing was perfect and anticipation was high. The spy thriller’s undercover missions and wild action scenes connected with big audiences in the United States and Canada, it was, by some accounts, one of the strongest Indian openers in recent memory. The UK returns have been no slouch, either. Analysts noted that the film held up in its third weekend, which rarely happens overseas.

So, for everyone paying attention to the international box office, this latest shuffle means a lot. Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t completely dominate the top three anymore; Ranveer Singh and the Dhurandhar franchise have brought in a fresh jolt of energy. If these numbers prove anything, it’s that big-budget Hindi originals aimed at global audiences still have plenty of room to run.

The real drama now? Wait and see if Dhurandhar The Revenge catches Jawan at $46.9 million. Pathaan, sitting at a lofty $48.5 million, might look comfortable for now, but the gap isn’t as wide as you’d think. Either way, this is a turning point for Bollywood’s global presence and the Dhurandhar franchise just raised the bar for what’s possible next.

The overseas numbers are evolving fast, and Dhurandhar The Revenge shows just how big a story Hindi films can tell around the world. With earnings still climbing, this box office ride isn’t over yet.
