Uri: The Surgical Strike box office collection: After ending 2018 on a high with Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan starrer Simmba, Bollywood has started 2019 with a bang as Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam starrer 'Uri:The Surgical Strike' is set to be the first bonafide hit of the year. The film which had opened to Rs 8.20 crore has picked up brilliantly over the last four days, minting Rs 63.54 crore within six days of its release. On Wednesday, Uri minted Rs 7.73 crore and with almost no competition at the box office for another one week, is likely to continue its impressive performance.
Movie critic and business analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted that the film is already a super-hit and is on course to be a blockbuster. "#UriTheSurgicalStrike is sensational... Crosses ₹ 60 cr...

With this, Uri also becomes the fourth Hindi hit in less than a month after Kedarnath, KGF and Simmba.
"#Kedarnath, #KGF [Hindi], #Simmba and now #UriTheSurgicalStrike... Four successes in one month [7 Dec 2018 to 11 Jan 2019]... Moral of the story: The audience is willing to dig into pockets if the films are worth it... Content talks!" Adarsh said, in another tweet.

Uri is based on the true story of surgical strikes conducted by the Indian Army on Pakistan in 2016. Interestingly, it had released on the same date as The Accidental Prime Minister - a biopic of former prime minister Manmohan Singh. However, the latter has failed to impress the audience.
Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh starrrer Simmba continues to attract viewers even in its third week. The film had entered Rs 200 crore club last week and is now inching towards the Rs 250 crore mark. On Wednesday, Simmba earned Rs 1.41 crore, taking its overall collection to Rs 231.31 crore.
