Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@mickeydude , assuming that you are only using ICICI as a brokerage house and owning the shares  in India listed entities directly,  you should list each of share lots  individually and the amount of dividend for each.  If India taxes you on these then this tax may be eligible for  Foreign Tax Credit / deduction treatment.

On the other hand if ICICI has a mutual fund / investment basket that you have invested in, then  you can sum up all the  dividends  under  the name of that fund.  Note that depending on exact facts and circumstances, this may come under  PFIC rules.

The fact that  the investment account is  held in US$  ( i.e. dollar denominated account), I don't believe has anything to do with the tax treatment of the dividend.

 

Does this make sense ?   Is there more I can do for you
