“Recharged also by the energy in the cinema hall! #HighJosh,” she tweeted with a video of people waving the tri-colour and shouting slogans like “Indian Army Zindabad” and “How’s the josh?”.

'Uri: The Surgical Strike' is based on surgical strikes carried out by Indian Army in 2016 on terror launch pads in Pakistan to take revenge for the Uri attack that was carried out by terrorists.

It may be recalled that the Defence Minister had met the cast and crew of the film on January 16 on the occasion of Army Day.
