Adarsh, in a different tweet, said that Vicky Kaushal's film is among non-holiday releases like Prabhas's Baahubali2, ?Kartik Aaryan's Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Alia Bhatt's Raazi, Ranbir Kapoor's  Sanju and Rajkummar Rao's Stree which didn't depend on any festivals and holidays to guarantee their success. They all delivered quality content and turned non-holidays will into a festival for investors.  Adarsh had also foretold that Vicky Kaushal's film would continue its solid presence at the box office during the weekdays.

#Baahubali2, #SKTKS, #Raazi, #Sanju, #Stree and now #UriTheSurgicalStrike... ALL non-holiday releases... Those who think timing films during festivals/holidays guarantee success, THINK AGAIN... Deliver qualitative content and non-holidays will turn into a festival for investors.
