Ground Zero

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.

Ground Zero is a movie that truly touches your heart while keeping you on the edge of your seat. Emraan Hashmi delivers a powerful performance, showing the tough yet emotional side of a soldier's life. The film's strength lies in its storytelling - it doesn't need to shout patriotism; it shows it through actions and emotions. Every character feels real, and their struggles are portrayed with great sensitivity. The background score adds depth to the narrative without being overpowering. The action scenes are realistic, not flashy, which makes everything more believable. It's rare to find a movie that balances action, emotions, and realism so well. Ground Zero is a brilliant tribute to those who protect the nation silently but bravely.

In Ground Zero, director Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar attempts to blend fact-based realism with cinematic intensity, setting his sights on one of India's most volatile Kashmir conflict issues. Anchored in the backdrop of the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the subsequent manhunt for the elusive terrorist Ghazi Baba, the film sets out to be a gripping military-political thriller. The film unfolds through the eyes of a BSF officer.

Tejas Deoskar's direction is sincere and grounded, opting for a restrained, fact-based approach. His choice to present the conflict through a soldier's moral compass is commendable. The engagement dips at crucial junctures, and the screenplay though ambitious, stagnates in parts. The climax feels slightly rushed and abrupt. It leaves the audience feeling affected, but not entirely fulfilled.

Ground Zero is a well-intentioned & moderately effective film. If there's one consistently strong pillar in the film, it's Emraan Hashmi's sincere performance. Sai Tamhankar and Zoya Hussain offer commendable support. Mukesh Tiwari was decent. Deepak Parmesh, Lalit Prabhakar, and the rest of the supporting cast contributed well to the film's overall texture.

For viewers interested in real-event-inspired cinema and a mature take on the Kashmir issue, Ground Zero is definitely worth a watch, even if it leaves you wanting a bit more in terms of depth and emotional payoff. The cinematography captures the starkness of Kashmir's landscape well. The action sequences are executed with restraint and authenticity rather than Bollywood-style spectacle. Its commitment to realism over propaganda is one of its strengths, even if the storytelling occasionally falters.

Direction 3/5 Acting 3.5/5 Music 2.5/5 Story 3/5 Screenplay 3/5.

Ground Zero is a rare gem where the action sequences feel genuine and the emotional moments truly touch your soul. Emraan Hashmi's portrayal of a BSF officer is probably one of his finest roles. The story is tight, and there is no unnecessary drama or stretched sequences. The narrative keeps moving at a good pace while giving enough space to each character to develop. The film shows the unseen emotional struggles of soldiers and their families. The backdrop of Kashmir adds to the authenticity of the storyline. What I loved most about Ground Zero is how it manages to tell an important story without becoming preachy. It respects the audience's intelligence and delivers a heartfelt, gripping movie experience. Highly recommended.

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.
