Uri: The Surgical Strike did not open to great reviews. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 2 stars out of five, in his review for NDTV. However, he praised film's lead actor Vicky Kaushal for his impressive performance and wrote: "Lead actor Vicky Kaushal, on his part, plays a steady hand and delivers the goods to an extent that, at times, seems somewhat wasted on a film that falls well short of being rousing."
Directed by Aditya Dhar and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Uri: The Surgical Strike also features Yami Gautam, Paresh Rawal, Kirti Kulhari and debutante Mohit Raina. Uri: The Surgical Strike is based on the surgical strikes which were carried out by the Indian army in 2016.
