Overview

  • Ground Zero, directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, opened in theaters on April 25 and has earned ₹5.2 crore in its first weekend in India.
  • The film depicts the mission to eliminate Ghazi Baba, the mastermind of the 2001 Parliament attack, with Emraan Hashmi starring as BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey.
  • It recorded day-wise collections of ₹1.15 crore on Friday, ₹1.90 crore on Saturday, and approximately ₹2.15 crore on Sunday, reflecting gradual growth over the weekend.
  • Despite positive word of mouth and a historic premiere in Srinagar, the film faces stiff competition from high-profile releases like Kesari Chapter 2 and Jaat.
  • Ground Zero's authentic portrayal of military operations and its cultural significance have been praised, but its box office trajectory remains below industry benchmarks.
