Churachandpur, August 19 - Vicky Kaushal-led military action film "Uri: The Surgical Strike" becomes the first Bollywood movie in 20 years to get screened in Manipur state.

The movie about surgical strikes against Pakistan-based terrorists was shown in a temporary open-air theatre in Churachandpur on Tuesday, according to ABPLive.



"Uri" marked the return of cinema to the conflict-torn state of Manipur after more than 20 years. The Rengkai (Lamka) screening of the movie saw decent attendance. It was screened by the Hmar Students' Association (HSA).

The national anthem was played at the outdoor theatre, which is located 63 kilometers from the capital city before the film started. Apart from "Ur", three more Hindi movies will be screened including, the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai".

"Uri", directed by Aditya Dhar and produced by RSVP Movies, is a fictionalized portrayal of the actual event of the response to the 2016 Uri attack. It tells the story of Major Vihaan Shergill of the Para (Special Forces), who played a significant role in the events.

The movie stars Vicky Kaushal in the lead role alongside Yami Gautam, Mohit Raina, Kirti Kulhari, and Paresh Rawal in pivotal roles. It was a massive blockbuster with a worldwide gross box office collection of over 340 crores.
