New Delhi: Talented B-Town find Vicky Kaushal's latest outing 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' has hit the bull's eye at the Box Office. The film has done incredibly well at the Box Office and is continuing its stronghold at the ticket counters. The movie has benefitted hugely from the positive word of mouth publicity.

Noted film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and shared the figures. He wrote: “And #Uri crosses ₹  cr... Sure, ₹  cr is *not* the yardstick to gauge the success of a film, but it should be celebrated when mid-sized films like #SKTKS, #Raazi, #Stree, #BadhaaiHo and #UriTheSurgicalStrike hit century... Content is king and the audiences are king makers!”
