Apart from Vicky Kaushal, the film features a strong supporting cast including Yami Gautam, Paresh Rawal, Kirti Kulhari, and Mohit Raina. Their performances contributed to the film’s emotional and dramatic weight.
The renewed popularity of the film highlights how certain stories continue to resonate with audiences even years after release. Its strong IMDb rating and repeat viewership reflect its lasting appeal, especially among viewers interested in real-life military operations and patriotic cinema.
With its return to the trending list, Uri: The Surgical Strike once again proves its place as a modern war classic that continues to connect with audiences across platforms.
