Shailendra K @RT46198328 Aug 2, 2025 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 See more Andrew T @RT79670646 May 20, 2025 Feels real.. showcases kasmiri citizens daily lifestyle, terror and suffocation they live in on one side and on other side it shows BSF soldiers day to day life.. Not extreme action.. Don't compare to URI.. emotional connect.. Should have focused little on the Parliament and Akshardham attacks.. What did the actual villain do why it was important to take him down.. It's important to watch such movies in theater or otherwise specially in current See more arvind s @Arvind100 Apr 30, 2025 Biopics are not what they used to be. Ground Zero may retell the story of a BSF officer and his heroics in bringing down Ghazi Baba but the lack of emotional depth is astounding. Emraan Hashmi leads this biopic as BSF Officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey with Sai Tamhankar playing his wife and Mukesh Tiwari, Deepak Parmesh star as fellow BSF officers. Emraan Hashmi gives a committed performance as Dubey with adequate amount of restraint by not going all hyper-nationalistic like other movies about armed forces do. But despite that, the tension building, the angst that rises from the brutal attacks carried out by Ghazi (Parliament attack) is barely felt. It is a very matter of fact movie that doesn't carry the emotional weight or turmoil suffered by the nation or its protagonist. Given this is backed by Excel Entertainment, it was a shocker to see Ground Zero turn out to be a very ineffective movie.
