URI: The Surgical strike has completed 5 years from its release. Starring the talented Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam and Paresh Rawal in the lead, the film received much appreciation at the time of its release and is talked about till date.

On the occasion, Yami went on to talk about the film highlighting that it’s ‘very special’ for her. The actress said, "It's been 5 years of URI, and I must say it's undeniably a very special film for me. URI was our modern-day cinematic version of the living legend, our Indian Army. Everyone  who was associated with this film, we all look back to the time of its release and cherish the thunderous response we received from every corner of the world. To be part of URI, a story that celebrates the bravery of our Indian army and the nation's spirit, was an honour for me. It was a film where I got to do something different which I’d been longing to do as an actor. The film was the result of the hard work of every department, which worked day and night to deliver a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience to the audiences. Forever grateful to Aditya for making it all happen and leading the film with unmatched passion and sincerity. Pallavi Sharma is and will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film released on January 11, 2019. It focused on the covert operation against a group of militants who attacked a base in Kashmir in 2016 killing many soldiers.
