In a historic box office milestone, Dhurandhar The Revenge has rewritten the record books in North America, emerging as the highest-grossing Indian film in the region. The film has surpassed the long-standing benchmark set by Baahubali: The Conclusion , effectively ending its 9-year reign at the top in the USA and Canada market.
