New Delhi: Uri: The Surgical Strike is on a winning spree. Despite so many new releases, Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal's film refuses to shift at the Box Office. While it was speculated that Manikarnika and Thackeray would hamper its growth, the film has emerged victorious with the ‘JOSH’
Trade analyst and noted film critic Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the collections. He wrote, "#UriTheSurgicalStrike remains super-strong, despite multiple new films... #RepublicDay holiday [today] should see big growth in biz... All set to cross ₹ 150 cr by Sun [Day 17]... [Week 3] Fri 4.40 cr. Total: ₹ 138.19 cr. India biz. #Uri #HowsTheJosh."

With that, it has not only gained entry into the coveted Rs 150 crore-club but has also beaten Tanu Weds Manu: Returns to become the highest-grossing mid-budget Hindi film. It has also surpassed the lifetime collection of the Aamir Khan-starrer Thugs of Hindostan (Ra 151.19 crore) that released last year on Diwali.
The film features Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal, Mohit Raina and Yami Gautam in pivotal parts. It hit the screens on January 11, 2019, and clashed with Anupam Kher's 'The Accidental Prime Minister' at the Box Office.
The film is based on 2016 Indian Army's surgical strike in Pakistan as a retaliation of the Uri attacks. It is written and directed by debutant Aditya Dhar. It is produced by Ronnie Screwvala under his banner RSVP Movies.
