However, Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan starrer and Rohit Sharma directorial venture Simmba is still running successfully at the box office and may affect business of the two releases. The movie has already grossed Rs 215 crore till Friday at the Indian box office.
Talking about the performances in the flick, Vicky Kaushal is back to the silver screens with yet another striking performance. He has proved that there’s no one like him when it comes to versatility and great acting skills. The film also stars Yami Gautam and well, we can say that she is finally back with a bang. Rajit Kapur plays PM Narendra Modi, and seems to be around to ask a few questions and give reaction shots. The real hero is Govind Sir played by Paresh Rawal, who is modelled on National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.
Filmmaker Karan Johar also praised Uri The Surgical Strike and on his Twitter handle wrote “What and incredible actor @vickykaushal09 is! His performance is a blend of strength and sensitivity !!!
