Since the film is garnering solid word of mouth, we are expecting it to remain rock-steady in the weekdays. Apart from the amazing performances, the film has received appreciation for its direction and cinematography. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Uri: The Surgical Strike is based on Indian Army's 2016 surgical strike on terrorist camps in Pakistan in retaliation to the terror attack on an Army camp in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir. The film is produced under the banner of RSVP and also stars Yami Gautam, Paresh Rawal and Mohit Raina in key roles.

The film has received positive reviews from all around the corners. Our critic Dishya Sharma gave the film three-and-a-half stars and wrote, "If you loved watching movies like Border and L.O.C: Kargil, Uri: The Surgical Attack is a film for you. It will make you laugh and cry, and you'll walk out of the theatre feeling proud of the soldiers, both on and off the screen." Anyway, have you liked the film? Tweet to us...

After the dismal performance in China, the superb business in Japan, will surely cheer the makers of the film. Talking about Pad Man, the film is based on the life of Tamil Nadu-based social activist, Arunachalam Muruganantham. Akshay Kumar portrays the central role in the film, who finds a way to make cheap, affordable sanitary napkins for the women in his village. It also features Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in key roles and is directed by R. Balki, who has previously helmed movies like Ki And Ka, Shamitabh, Paa and Cheeni Kum.

On the professional front, Akshay Kumar will be next seen in Kesari. The film is based on the Battle of Saragarhi that took place between the Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army and the Pashtun Orakzai tribesmen in 1897. It is directed by Anurag Singh, who helmed Punjabi films like Jatt and Juliet series and Punjab 1984. He made his Bollywood directorial debut with 2007's Raqeeb, which turned out to be a disappointment at the box office.
