The action film, based on the 2016 Surgical Strikes conducted by the Indian Army against terror launchpads in Pakistan, has become Vicky’s biggest opener as a lead star. While that, in itself, is a big achievement, what makes it even bigger is the fact that Vicky has now beaten his seniors Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana in the box-office race.

Yes, vis-à-vis opening-day collection, Vicky is ahead of Rajkummar and Ayushmann, who delivered their best first-day numbers with Stree and Badhaai Ho last year, respectively. While Stree had earned Rs 6.82 crore on its opening day, Badhaai Ho had started off with an earning of Rs 7.29 crore.

Uri: The Surgical Strike, that also stars Paresh Rawal, Yami Gautam, Rajit Kapur and Kirti Kulhari in important roles, received a mixed response from movie critics. The word of mouth for the film, however, was largely positive, something which has immensely helped its box-office performance. Uri: The Surgical Strike is competing against The Accidental Prime Minister at the ticket windows. It is also facing significant competition from the Ranveer Singh-starrer Simmba that hit the screens on December 28 last year. The film is produced by RSVP Movies.
