Akshay Kumar's Breakaway has become the highest-grossing English movie in Canadian history.
The project, which released in some territories under the alternate title Speedy Singhs, is centred around Toronto's Indo-Canadian community.
"We released the film in 51 theatres across Canada on 30th September this year and the box office returns ever since then have exceeded expectations," said Canadian distributor Mark Sloane.
The movie, which was co-produced by Kumar's production house Hari Om Entertainment, has broken records set by earlier crossover productions including Monsoon Wedding and 3 Idiots.
A special screening was held for Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in October.
In spite of the film's success in the Canadian market, Kumar attributed its poor performance domestically to the fact that it was aimed at non-resident Indian audiences.
