While we all know Vicky Kaushal starrer Uri: The Surgical Strike has turned out to be a blockbuster, what's surprising is the fact that the film is successfully running in theatres till now. In fact, Uri is faring so well that it will surpass the Rs 225 crore mark at the Indian box office by next week. The Aditya Dhar directorial venture has been minting money since January 11 and so far it has made Rs 220.32 crore at the domestic box office. Co-starring Yami Gautam, the film has even broken numerous records at the BO. Uri - The Surgical Strike Box Office Collection: Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam Starrer Continues To Mint Money, Earns Rs 217.80 Crore.

Total: ₹ 220.32 cr. India biz. #UriTheSurgicalStrike⁠ ⁠biz at a glance...Week 1: ₹ 71.26 cr, Week 2: ₹ 62.77 cr

Week 3: ₹ 37.02 cr, Week 4: ₹ 29.34 cr, Week 5: ₹ 18.74 cr. 860 screens in Week 6."

Further, a report in Boxofficeindia.com stated, "The only other film in history to have a sixth Friday of more than 1 crore nett is Gadar Ek Prem Katha which released way back in 2001. Uri - The Surgical Strike is basically an urban Gadar. What that film did in 2001, Uri - The Surgical Strike has done in urban centers in 2019. Uri has a total of 220 crore nett plus now and it looks like the film will be doing a lifetime of 235 crore nett plus but this film keeps on surprising so it could even be more." Uri the Surgical Strike Box Office: Vicky Kaushal’s War Film Creates History by Beating Baahubali 2 – Here’s How.

With just one big release this week - Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt's Gully Boy - Vicky's film definitely has a good chance of raking in more money before ending its run in the cinema halls once and for all. Apart from Vicky and Yami, the military drama also stars Paresh Rawal and television actor Mohit Raina in important roles.
