Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam's film Uri: The Surgical Strike is heading towards being a blockbuster at the box office. The film, which is directed by Aditya Dhar, released on January 11 and since then has been minting big money at the ticket windows. In the opening weekend, the film raked in a whopping Rs 35.75 crore at the domestic BO, surprising everyone with its terrific box office business. The action thriller then passed the crucial Monday test with flying colours and ended up earning Rs 10.51 crore on day 4, bringing its total collection to Rs 46.24 crore. And now Uri has gone past the Rs 50 crore mark in India that too on its fifth day itself. Uri: The Surgical Strike Box Office Collection Day 4: Vicky Kaushal Starrer Has a Fantastic Monday, Rakes in Rs 46.24 Crore.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to microblogging site Twitter and revealed the updated figures saying, "#UriTheSurgicalStrike is winning praise, getting applause/ovation and amassing massive numbers at BO... East. West. North. South. It’s #Uri wave right now... Fri 8.20 cr, Sat 12.43 cr, Sun 15.10 cr, Mon 10.51 cr, Tue 9.57 cr. Total: ₹ 55.81 cr. India biz. #HowsTheJosh."

A report in BoxOfficeIndia also stated, "The film is now looking to be a SUPER HIT film and the Friday should confirm that. The collections so far are nearly 55 crore nett and the week could do 67-68 crore nett but that will depend on the fall tomorrow as places like Gujarat and Rajasthan will probably see collections come down to normal levels."

Apart from Uri: The Surgical Strike, Anupam Kher and Akshaye Khanna starrer The Accidental Prime Minister also released last week on January 11. After getting off to a good start, the political drama is finding it hard to pull the crowd to the cinema halls. In five days, the film has raked in Rs 15.50 crore in India as per BoxOfficeIndia.com. With three new films releasing this week, Kher's film will have a tough time to stay afloat at the box office.
