Day
One
Box
Office
Prediction
Of
Uri
Trade
analyst
Girish
Johar
told
Indian
Express,
"Assuming
that
there
will
be
a
positive
word
of
mouth,
the
action-based
film
Uri
will
earn
Rs
4-5
crore
on
its
opening
day."
The
Promotional
Activities
Of
The
Film
Have
Been
Put
Across
Well
The
trailer,
the
small
snippets
from
the
film
and
the
other
promotional
activities
have
been
put
across
well.
It
is
a
sensitive
military
drama
but
also
looks
like
an
urban
film
which
will
probably
invite
more
audience
to
the
multiplexes," said
Johar.
Vicky
Kaushal
Is
One
Of
The
USPs
Of
The
Film
He
further
added,
"Definitely
people
are
looking
forward
to
seeing
Kaushal
as
a
military
officer
after
he
delivered
good
performances
last
year.
He
is
one
of
the
USPs
of
Uri."
The
Subject
Of
Uri
Is
Very
Raw
Film
exhibitor
Akshaye
Rathi
told
HT,
"Uri
is
a
movie
on
a
subject
which
is
very
raw
and
about
which
all
of
us
as
Indians
feel
strongly.
The
film
should
get
traction
at
the
box
office."
'People
Know
That
Vicky
Is
A
Good
Actor'
For
every
actor,
there
is
a
journey
from
where
he
goes
from
being
an
actor
to
a
star.
Vicky
is
on
that
journey.
He
has
done
such
characters
so
far
that
people
relate
to
him,
identify
him
courtesy
movies
like
Sanju
and
Raazi
among
others.
People
know
that
Vicky
is
a
good
actor
and
now
that
he
is
established
and
people
recognise
him,
it
is
time
to
play
on
the
front
foot
and
do
movies
where
the
onus
of
recovery
is
on
Vicky
besides
the
content.
A
Vicky
Kaushal
on
the
box
office
is
as
good
or
bad
as
Rajkummar
Rao
or
Ayushmann
Khurrana
today.
While
people
like
him
and
relate
to
him,
it's
not
clear
if
there
are
enough
people
who
will
come
to
watch
him
irrespective
of
how
good
or
bad
the
movie
is.
The
content
of
the
film
can
help
Vicky
catapult
himself
in
the
league
of
stars
very
soon."
Will
Uri
Cross
The
100
Crore
Mark
Like
Raazi?
To
this,
Rathi
added,
"The
possibility
is
certainly
there
but
it
depends
on
how
entertaining
the
script
is.
If
the
script
is
engaging
enough,
anything
can
happen.
The
onus
for
a
film's
success
also
lies
on
the
writer
and
director
of
the
film.
If
it
will
make
it
to
the
Rs
100
crore
club
depends
how
well
it
is
written,
narrated
and
directed."
Speaking
About
The
Accidental
Prime
Minister
The
film
is
expected
to
mint
around
Rs.
3-4
crores.
Trade
analyst
Girish
Johar
said,
"The
controversies
around
the
film
have
increased
the
awareness
around
it.
Also,
the
story
involves
the
premier
family
of
the
country
so
there
is
a
lot
of
political
buzz
around
it.
Some
are
even
looking
at
it
as
political
agenda.
Anupam
Kher
playing
the
role
of
former
PM
Manmohan
Singh
has
also
raised
many
eyebrows.
So,
with
so
much
talk
happening
around
the
film,
it
is
expected
to
earn
Rs
3-4
crores
on
its
opening
day."
Will
Simmba
Continue
Its
Golden
Run
At
The
Box
Office?
Johar
added,
"If
both
The
Accidental
Prime
Minister
and
Uri:
The
Surgical
Strike
fail
to
have
a
positive
word
of
mouth,
Simmba
will
take
over
and
once
again
the
weekend
will
be
ruled
by
the
masala
entertainer."
