Ground Zero

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.

It is clearly visible that it has been made with a lot of hard work.

The hard work of the director and the dedication of the writer while writing the story is evident as soon as you see it.

Emraan Hashmi is a very good actor without a doubt and always brings his character alive with his work. He is shown as level-headed men in this movie.

He has tried to show Kashmir in the right way and you will understand as soon as you see the situation there.

The hard work and dedication of the Border Security Force are many things which cannot be explained only in a movie.

They worsen the situation and then handle it but what about the atmosphere which gets spoiled.

The story moves forward in a very simple way and some real events of Kashmir have been shown in this movie. Movie is Slow a bit but negligible.

I liked the movie and the one song which is played on the death of army men, sounds good, it makes you cry. It is a good movie.

Itsbymayank - Mayank Bharat Bhushan Louteriya Review of Ground Zero 2025.

Watch it once and understand the situation and think how the atmosphere has been spoiled.

Based on true events, Ground Zero salutes our hero for their sacrifice and courage to keep our country safe.

While it was a tough ask, Emraan Hashmi did play his part with everything he had but the storytelling was a letdown. The film moves at an inconsistent pace and nothing leaves a major impact to your eyes. Although the cinematography and background music were decent, no scene felt hard hitting. 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.

Overall, a decent attempt, I would say and it does work at some levels.

My Rating : 6/10.

There has been a steady rise in action military thrillers set in Kashmir in the last few years and at first glance Ground Zero appears to be just another run of the mill entry in the sub-genre. However Ground Zero which is based on the real life operation Ghazi Baba is a pretty gripping thriller closer in style and quality to the real life based political thriller Article 370 than a stylish and over the top big budget action flick like Fighter.

The story is solid, the screenplay is crisp and the acting is pretty good especially Eemran Hashmi who is not a well chiseled indestructible superhero who is dancing and romancing in his free time but a realistic, flawed and hard working BSF commandant focused on hunting down Ghazi Baba, the mastermind of the Indian Parliament Attack. The movie stays focused on the hunt with no distractions....no unnecessary songs and item numbers or side stories or romantic angles etc.

The final sequence has some shades of Zero Dark Thirty which is actually pretty well executed but right at the end, the action goes a bit over the top when Eemran's character finally faces off with Ghazi. Overall it was a pretty good watch and a well deserving tribute to the BSF soldiers who sacrificed themselves for the country. I liked it a lot. 7.5/10.

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 😂😂!!
