Uri: The Surgical Strike has 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.


The movie, starring Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal and Yami Gautam in lead roles, chronicles the events of the surgical strike conducted by the Indian armed forces against the militants in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).



Critics Review

Reviewing the movie, Namrata Joshi, writing for The Hindu, said: "Whichever side of the political divide one may stand on, one can't dismiss Dhar's canniness and craft, despite knowing that he is lionising the obvious and providing a one-sided narrative."
