With no strong competition to create roadblocks in its paths, Uri: The Surgical Strike continues its joshila journey at the box office. By now, it has already grossed more than Rs 200 crore at the box office, the first mid-budget Bollywood movie to do so. This, in turn, makes Uri the most profitable Bollywood movie in recent times. The movie has also been getting a promotional push from the BJP supporters who are praising the film at every chance they get, including Assembly speeches.

This is an achievement in itself, as, while Baahubali 2 earned most of its collections in the first three weeks, Uri is still going strong even in the fifth week. The question to be asked here is, can Vicky Kaushal's film reach the Rs 300 crore mark? There is some tough competition ahead like Ranveer Singh's Gully Boy and Ajay Devgn's Total Dhamaal. But, not an impossible task!
