Vicky Kaushal’s Uri The Surgical Strike has emerged as the second Hindi film after Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna’s Anand on IMDb’s list of top Indian films.

Aditya Dhar’s Uri The Surgical Strike, the first Bollywood release of 2019 that has also become the highest grosser of the year, has now found a space on IMDb’s list of top Indian films.
