The Surgical Strike seems to be dampening the prospect of the Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer across the country, except Maharashtra, as it is still pulling a lot of crowd to theatres. Uri is based on Indian Army's surgical strikes on a terrorist camp inside the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Vicky Kaushal-starrer film so far has Rs 160.78 cr. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh government has announced that the state will not collect GST on the film's earnings.
