Ground Zero

Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar's Ground Zero is based on Operation Ghazi Baba, conducted by the BSF in 2003.

The film is very grounded and balanced in its approach, dealing with the subject matter with sensitivity. There are a good number of intense sequences that provide thrills, yet there are also several dragged-out portions where the film's energy dips. Camerawork, music, and background score work very well in support of the film, whereas the editing feels subpar. The action sequences are good.

Emraan does a very good job as BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, handling both the action and emotional scenes nicely. Sai

Tamhankar provides good support. Mukesh and Zoya are okay, while Mir Mehrooz stands out.

The rest of the supporting cast does a decent job.

Overall, we liked the film but wish it had been tighter in terms of pacing and screenplay.

OVERALL 7.25/10.

Story of the movie is good but zoya akhtar and Lalit prabhakar acting is worst Would recommend raashi Khanna (Farzi) she can played army officer role much better It's army movie it should be in serious situation and both of them are laughing which shows stupidity in their acting career.

Also soldiers friends which shows in movie there acting also should be More serious than they're weakness of dialogue and which clearly shows in their face I don't know what the director thinking before getting this scene overview before releasing.

Sai acting is superb as she already did many Marathi movie lead that's nice role she's done.

Tejas Deoskar's "Ground Zero" is a perfectly decent counter-terrorism thriller that takes its sweet time getting to the good bits, though when it does, it rather makes up for the sluggish start. Based on true events involving BSF operations in Kashmir, the film delivers proper thrills once it stops faffing about with exposition.

Emraan Hashmi turns in a committed performance as a BSF officer, bringing his usual intensity whilst mercifully avoiding the chest-thumping heroics that plague most Indian military films. He's genuinely compelling when given decent material to work with, particularly as the story picks up steam in the latter half.

The film's biggest bugbear is its pacing. Deoskar seems hellbent on establishing every conceivable bit of backstory before getting to the actual story, which tests one's patience rather unnecessarily. The Kashmir setting feels authentic, and the supporting cast provides adequate backup without being particularly memorable.

Where "Ground Zero" truly comes alive is in its final act. The tension ratchets up considerably, and the action sequences feel authentic rather than choreographed for maximum spectacle. However, the film occasionally gets a bit preachy when it should have trusted its story to do the talking.

What's most refreshing is the film's restraint. It's genuinely surprising to see a military thriller that doesn't descend into flag-waving nationalism. Instead, Deoskar delivers a thoughtful examination of counter-terrorism work that respects both the complexity of the subject and the intelligence of the audience.

A decent thriller that could have been genuinely excellent with tighter editing and more faith in its own narrative strength. Worth sticking with, even if the first half tests your patience.

6.5/10.

Movie Review: Ground Zero Streaming on Prime video!!

Not many might have watched this film when it hit the cinema halls in late April. So here's my review for those who would like to watch it on OTT !!

Based on real incidents , this gripping film describes the operation conducted by the armed forces to kill the dreaded terrorist Gazi Baba , the mastermind of the Parliament & Akshardham Attacks. It also describes the passion of zeal & fervor shown by army officer Narendra Nath Dubey who was instrumental in bringing this operation to a logical conclusion!!

The film offers an emotional & authentic portrayal of Kashmir and its people. Imran Hashmi's portrayal of protagonist Narendra Nath Dubey is very realistic and his bonding with a misled Kashmiri youth who later becomes his informer is very endearing. Despite the terrorists being two steps ahead every time and our hero encountering failure time and again , his relentless pursuit & perseverance finally pays dividend when he finally nabs his man !!

If u want to watch no nonsense cinema with strong content and substance then Ground Zero is a delightful watch for the weekend!!

Right from the first scene, the strong screenplay , slick editing, action and cinematography will keep you hooked till the end.

Going with 3.5/5 for this one .. Adios 😊!!

For the others , u can always watch Housefull 5 😂😂!!

It seemed like the film was being shot keeping Zero Dark Thirty in mind. The story was pretty good and writing was to praise for. The only area that can steal the show is the cast and their performance. Emraan, though underrated, is a versatile actor and Sai is as usual perfect for the role. Other characters were also well casted. The movie was a bit fast paced and this left viewers to think more as they watched. Crux of the film was the climax and to arrive at that point, the surrounding story was well knitted and connected. Shootout to the actor who played the character of Hussian (Mehroos Mir). RT's tip: Make sure you watch the movie in a silent environment to experience it's true sound.
