After surpassing the Rs 50 crore mark at the box office on day 5, Aditya Dar's directorial venture Uri: The Surgical Strike held up well on Wednesday too. Starring Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam, Paresh Rawal, and television actor Mohit Raina, the military drama has been receiving great response from the audience at the ticket windows from day 1. Though the critics weren't wowed by the film, Vicky's terrific performance certainly didn't go unnoticed. In fact, one of the main reasons why Uri has had a fantastic run at the BO is because of his dumdaar acting. Overall too, the film has been appreciated by the moviegoers and the box office numbers say it all.

On day 6, Wednesday, Vicky and Yami's film again had a strong hold at the box office and minted around Rs 8 crore according to BollywoodHungama. So this means the total collection of Uri now stands at Rs 63.81 crore which is absolutely fantastic.
As per a report in BoxOfficeIndia.com, Uri has performed well all over except down South. The report states, "The film is excellent all over barring South due to regional films. Mysore has managed to come back with strong collections over the weekdays but Nizam / Andhra and TNK remain weak. The rest of the country is super strong with the surprise being West Bengal which is doing far higher for a film of this type."
