Movie critic and trade analyst, Taran Adarsh has tweeter the figures.

Adarsh stated that the movie is all set to reach Rs 200 crore mark in the coming days. Presently, total gross collections stand at Rs 189.76 crores. “Week 1: Rs 71.26 crore Week 2: Rs 62.77 crore; Week 3: Rs 37.06 crore; Weekend 4: Rs 18.67 crore,” he added in a tweet.

Earlier it was reported that Uri had outshone the top three movies of 2018 - Sanju, Padmaavat and Simmba - in the second-week collections metric. While the ticket sales of the three films declined by more than half in the second week, Uri witnessed a decline of only around 12 per cent.
