'Jawan' box office: SRK's film touches Rs. 700 crore worldwide
There is no stopping Shah Rukh Khan's latest release, Jawan! The film, which was released on September 7, has been shattering new box-office records almost every day. After becoming Hindi cinema's biggest opener, Jawan has conquered the box office.
