The Aditya Dhar directorial film is going from strength to strength at the ticket window and has raked in a total of Rs 228.78 crore so far.

The Tuesday (sixth week) has brought in Rs 1.38 crore for the film, which also features Yami Gautam, Kriti Kulhari and Paresh Rawal in important roles.

Now, if Uri continues to maintain the same pace at the Box Office, it can surpass the Rohit Shetty directorial by finishing at the total of more than Rs 240 crore.

The movie, which had received positive reviews from critics, follows Major Vihaan Singh Shergill of the Indian Army, who played a leading role in organizing the 2016 surgical strike in Uri. The surgical strike, which had taken place in September 2016 after a terror attack in Uri, was conducted against militant launch pads across the Line of Control in Pakistani-administered Kashmir by the Indian Army.

Recently, while speaking with the media, Vicky commented on how it’s unfair to write off Uri as a ‘propaganda film’ He was quoted by Mid-Day saying, “We have made the film as a tribute to the Indian Armed Forces. It’s not necessary to view everything through the political lens. Also, if it was a propaganda film, I wouldn’t have been a part of it.”
