The film clashed with Anupam Kher-Akshaye Khanna starrer 'The Accidental Prime Minister' which minted Rs 4.50 crore on the first day. The Vicky-starrer, however, is marching ahead of 'The Accidental Prime Minister' which chronicles the tenure of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in office.
'Uri: The Surgical Strike' also stars Paresh Rawal, Kirti Kulhari and Mohit Raina and is produced by Ronnie Screwvala.
