Ground Zero Reviews: Did Emraan Hashmi Click Or Fail?

Featuring Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi in the lead role, Ground zero released in theatres yesterday, and the film opened on a reasonably poor note at the box office. Now here is a look at the kind of reviews and early word of mouth that has been generated by this film.

Ground Zero is a Hindi action thriller directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar. The film features Emraan Hashmi as BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey and is based on a real-life 2003 operation in which terrorist Ghazi Baba was killed.

It is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under Excel Entertainment. The story focuses on a counter-terrorism mission carried out in Jammu and Kashmir. Emraan Hashmi has stated that the real events were dramatic and unusual.

The film includes both action scenes and personal moments that show the challenges faced by security officers and their families. It was shot in locations across Jammu and Kashmir, which adds to the setting and atmosphere. Viewers and critics have noted the straightforward storytelling, performances, and the way the film presents military operations.

The film does not focus only on action but also shows the impact such missions have on those involved. It is one of the recent Indian films that aims to depict real events in a serious and clear manner, without much fictionalization.

The early reviews have been fairly downward for this film, and it has to be seen if it would be able to pick up any sort of momentum in the days to follow.
