MUMBAI: Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam starrer Uri:The Surgical Strike which released two weeks back has managed to earn big bucks at the box-office. Though the film began slowly it picked up pace at the box-office in no time because of the good word of mouth publicity.

Uri’s third Friday at the box-office saw it earn Rs 4.40 crores and on Republic Day, ie yesterday, it raked in Rs 9.75 crores. Such returns are exceptional keeping in mind the budget of the film which is said to be around Rs 50 crores. The film has earned Rs 148.18 crores till date and is all set to cross the Rs 150 crore mark at the box-office today. In the category of mid-budgeted films, it has already surpassed several hits like Raazi, Stree, Badhaai Ho and more. And today it is set to break the record of Tanu Weds Manu which is the highest grossing mid-range film till date.

Uri has been a surprise hit of 2019 and the first one to enter the Rs 100 crore club this year. Apart from Vicky and Yami the film also stars Rajit Kapur, Mohit Raina and Kirti Kulhari. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Uri is based on the surgical strikes made by the Indian Army in 2016 against Pakistan.
