‘’And #Uri crosses ₹ 100 cr… Sure, ₹ 100cr is *not* the yardstick to gauge the success of a film, but it should be celebrated when mid-sized films like #SKTKS, #Raazi, #Stree, #BadhaaiHo and #UriTheSurgicalStrike hit century… Content is king and the audiences are king makers!,’’ Adarsh wrote on the micro-blogging site.
