Mumbai, Jan 30 (IBNS): Amid strong response at Box Office, actress Yami Gautam and actor Vicky Kaushal perhaps received yet another memorable appreciation for their performance in Uri when Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said he liked watching the movie based on the surgical strike conducted by the Indian Army in 2016.

The official Twitter handle of the Vice President posted: "Happy to have watched the movie 'Uri-Surgical Strikes' today along with Indo-Tibetan Border Police Personnel who guard the Vice President's Residence in New Delhi. It was an inspiring movie. I congratulate the cast & crew of #Urimovie for showcasing the valour of #IndianArmy."

Yami was quick in thanking the Indian leader over his encouraging tweet.

"Thank you so much sir ! We are very happy to receive your appreciation for #URI @AdityaDharFilms @RonnieScrewvala @vickykaushal09 @RSVPMovies," Yami posted.

Vicky said: "Thank You Sir. Jai Hind ."

Uri sets Box Office on fire:

Uri, since it released earlier this month, has grabbed the attention of movie lovers.

Appreciations and praises have eventually made this movie the first major hits of 2019.

Till Tuesday, the movie has earned Rs. 164 crores at the Box Office.

Film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted: "#UriTheSurgicalStrike is invincible... Fantastic trending... [Third] Tue biz almost at par with [third] Mon, which is a rarity... [Week 3] Fri 4.40 cr, Sat 9.75 cr, Sun 9.20 cr, Mon 3.40 cr, Tue 3.32 cr. Total: ₹ 164.10 cr. India biz. #Uri #HowsTheJosh."

How is the josh: The new mantra of the nation

Now, the dialogue 'How is the josh' from the movie has become the new mantra of the country which even Prime Minister Narendra Modi used while addressing a gathering after the inauguration of National Museum of Indian Cinema in Mumbai recently.

The dialogue was said several times in the movie by actor Vicky Kaushal.

The movie is based on the surgical strike conducted by Indian Army on Sept 29, 2016.

The events go back to Sept 18, 2016, when 19 soldiers were killed in an early morning attack by Pakistani terrorists.

The attack was carried out at the 12 Infantry Brigade headquarters in Uri.

On Sept 29, Indian Army's Special Forces conducted “surgical strikes” on terror launch pads across Line of Control (LoC), winning appreciations from countrymen.

The incident occurred during the current tenure of Modi as the PM.
