Vicky Kaushal-starrer Uri: The Surgical Strike, based on the Indian commandos' action following the 2016 attack, is inching close to the Rs 250-crore mark at the box office, according to trade analysts. The film, which released on January 11, raked in Rs 240 crore by Monday, and has crossed the lifetime business of 2018's film 'Simmba', says trade expert Taran Adarsh.
