"For the presence of Vicky Kaushal, whose character desists from overt chest-thumping, Uri: The Surgical Strike would have been a complete washout," film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote in his review for NDTV.
Yami Gautam, Mohit Raina and Paresh Rawal also play prominent roles in Uri.
Uri: The Surgical Strike clashed at the box office with Anupam Kher's The Accidental Prime Minister. Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Thackeray released last Friday.
