On the same day when the movie was released in India, another movie named "Uri: The Surgical Strike" was released. This movie is a fictionalised account of the Indian response to the 2016 Uri attack, an attack allegedly masterminded by cross-border actors. There are people who want this movie also to be cleared by Pakistan's censor board as the movie puts Pakistan on the docks for the Uri episode.
