Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film is based on the 2016 Indian Army’s surgical strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir as a retaliation for the Uri attack that claimed the lives of 17 army personnel. The film features Vicky Kaushal in the lead role.
Apart from Vicky Kaushal, the movie also stars Paresh Rawal, Mohit Raina, Rajit Kapur and Kriti Kulhari. Paresh Rawal played the role of National Security Advisor Ajit Doval in the film.
Even in it’s fourth week at the box office, Uri is garnering more money than new releases like Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and Anil Kapoor-starrer Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga.
Last week, Uri had created a record at the box office by surpassing Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’s (Hindi) box office collection on Day 23 and 24.
