Uri - The Surgical Strike is heading for business over 200 crore nett as it hardly sees a fall on the fourth Friday with business in the 3 crore nett range as per early estimates. The film will be the first small - medium film to cross the 200 crore nett mark but more than it has also crossed the footfalls of Tanu Weds Manu Returns on the fourth Friday to become the biggest small - medium blockbuster of recent times.
The 200 crore nett figure will probably be achieved by many small - medium films in the future but Uri - The Surgical Strike has hit 1.5 crore in terms of footfalls with more to come and this will be huge task in the future. The film is probably among the biggest small - medium films in the history of Hindi cinema with the 1975 mythological historic blockbuster Jai Santoshi Maa (1975) leading the way.
The weak competition from the new releases means that Uri - The Surgical Strike will be the top film at the box office this weekend.
