Top 10 Biggest Indian Grossers of 2025 At The Overseas Box Office

The Ajay Devgn-led comedy sequel Dhamaal 4 has crossed the 100 crore mark in worldwide gross collections within just four days of release, according to Sacnilk's box office tracking.

Top 10 Biggest Indian Grossers of 2025 At The Overseas Box Office

A Hundred Crore in Four Days

By the close of its first Monday, Dhamaal 4 had reached an estimated worldwide gross of ₹102.83 crore. The domestic India gross stood at ₹88.33 crore across 10,598 shows, while overseas territories contributed roughly ₹14.50 crore to the running total. North America emerged as a particularly active market, with a Sunday gross of 175K dollars, approximately ₹1.47 crore, lifting the regional cumulative to 508K dollars, or about ₹4.27 crore. BookMyShow logged around 124K ticket sales for Monday alone, pushing platform-wide sales to roughly 13.77 lakhs.

How the Franchise Compares

The sequel is tracking slightly behind its predecessor on individual days, but ahead on the cumulative curve. Dhamaal 4's first Monday net of ₹8.75 crore came in below Total Dhamaal's ₹9.85 crore on its own fourth day, a 69.3 percent drop from the Sunday collection of ₹28.50 crore. Yet the four-day India net of ₹73.75 crore edges past the ₹72.25 crore Total Dhamaal had managed at the same stage, a gap built on a stronger opening weekend. The film currently sits at 12th place in the 2025-26 first Monday ticket sales ranking, just behind recent releases Bhooth Bangla and Sitaare Zameen Par, and narrowly outside the top 10. For the franchise, that positioning suggests consolidation rather than decline, with weekday holds set to determine how far the global run can stretch.

Overseas Distribution Choices in Focus

Indian films chasing these global benchmarks are also navigating a patchwork of regional certification rules, and Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan offers a live case study. The film releases worldwide on July 24, but UK distributor Ahimsa Entertainment confirmed via social media that British cinemas will screen an uncut, 15-rated version, while the Indian release has undergone CBFC-approved modifications. Production house KVN Productions acknowledged the censor clearance for the domestic cut, though the specific edits have not been disclosed. For fans weighing an international theatrical trip, or simply wondering which version will eventually land on streaming, the distinction is already shaping the conversation around Vijay's farewell project.

What to Watch

The coming weekdays will test whether Dhamaal 4 can convert its opening momentum into a sustained overseas run, or whether the comedy's global ceiling settles near its current 12th-place domestic ranking. For readers tracking Indian cinema abroad, two practical questions are worth keeping in mind: how the film's North America trajectory evolves after its strong Sunday, and whether the uncut Jana Nayagan will eventually reach Indian streaming platforms after its theatrical window closes.
