'Jawan' took 23 days to beat 'Pathaan's lifetime worldwide gross collection of £105.5 million. It has collected around £70.5 million (gross) in India and £35 million overseas. The film is now the fifth highest-grossing Indian film and the second-highest Hindi film globally. It is behind 'Dangal,' which stands at £196.80 million gross at the worldwide box office.
