Vicky Kaushal Uri, The Surgical Strike has not just turned out to be his biggest solo blockbuster but has also broken box office records of his earlier film, Sanju.
The collections of the film on third week are higher than Sanju and even Padmaavat.
It earned Rs 37 crore in its third week which takes its total to Rs 171 crore. For the record, Sanju had earned Rs 31 crore in its third week.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh called the third week collections of the film an eye opener. He tweeted, “This is an EYE OPENER... #UriTheSurgicalStrike collects 35 cr+ in "Week 3", which is more than "Week 3" biz of #Sanju [31.62 cr], #Padmaavat [31.75 cr] and #Simmba [20.06 cr], the #Top3 grossers of 2018. #Uri #HowsTheJosh.”
The film began the year on a patriotic note, the first big release of the year, based on the historical 2016 surgical strikes carried out by India.
