Uri box office collection Day 15: Vicky Kaushal’s film inches towards Rs 150-cr mark

Uri box office collection Day 15: Even after a fortnight of a successful run at the box office, Vicky Kaushal-starrer Uri: The Surgical Strike is showing no sign of slowing down.  With the collection of Rs 4.40 cr on Friday,  the movie has accumulated Rs138.19 cr in India collections so far.  The film based on Indian Army's surgical strike in Pakistan in 2016. The Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam starrer film is turning out to be a money spinner even as Ranveer Singh-starrer Simmba's collection slowed down at the box office though Uri is nowhere close to Simmba's collection. 

The Ranveer Singh starrer move has so far earned nearly Rs 240 cr at the box office. On the other hand, Uri is witnessing good footfall in theatres.   According to film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film is likely to cross Rs 150-cr mark by Sunday or Day 17 of its release. 

"#UriTheSurgicalStrike remains super-strong, despite multiple new films... #RepublicDay holiday [today] should see big growth in biz... All set to cross ₹ 150 cr by Sun [Day 17]... [Week 3] Fri 4.40 cr. Total: ₹ 138.19 cr. India biz. #Uri #HowsTheJosh," Adarsh tweeted today.
