In the third week of its release, Uri earned Rs 4.4o crore on Friday and Rs 9.75 crore on Saturday, taking its total current earnings to Rs 148.18 crore.

While most mid-budget films do not cross more than Rs 50 crore in lifetime earnings, Uri has been an exception. According to trade analysts, Uri crossed the Rs 50 crore mark in Mumbai alone and Rs 25 crore in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh territories.
