Uri Box Office Collection Day 10: Vicky Kaushal’s Uri: The Surgical Strike has been performing stupendously well at the box-office.

The war-drama film managed to earn Rs 50 crore in five days, surpassing the Rs 75 crore mark in eight days.

Uri: The Surgical Strike is the first Rs 100-crore film for Vicky Kaushal as the leading actor. He has also appeared in Ranbir Kapoor’s Sanju and Alia Bhatt’s Raazi, which were also able to mint over Rs 100 crore and became a part of the coveted club.

Vicky Kaushal’s movie has also been able to collect more than the combined cost of its advertisements and production. Uri was made on a budget of approximately Rs 42 crore and has already managed to earn twice its budget.

Debutant director Aditya Dhar, who has also written Uri, was applauded for his work. Uri: The Surgical Strike is inspired by the real events of the Indian Army’s surgical strikes across the LoC.
