Emraan Hashmi’s film Ground Zero has hit the theatres. The Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar directorial is based on the Border Security Force’s mission that led to the elimination of Jaish-e-Mohammed’s dreaded commander, Ghazi Baba—the mastermind behind the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. The film had a decent opening at the Indian box office.

On its opening day, April 25, Ground Zero earned approximately Rs 1 crore as per Sacnilk. The film had an overall 8.63 Hindi occupancy. The morning shows saw 4.71 occupancy whereas the night shows had the maximum footfall of 14.06%. Ground Zero will be facing some competition from Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan and Ananya Panday’s Kesari 2 and Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa’s Phule. While Phule earned much less than Ground Zero, Kesari 2‘s first day collection was higher. The film earned Rs 7.50 crore on day 1.

Filmfare rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and said in its review, “Ultimately, Ground Zero is not just a retelling of a daring counterterrorism mission; it’s a tribute to the unsung warriors who stand between peace and chaos. Watch it for the untold story of one of India’s most pivotal military operations—and for Emraan Hashmi’s gripping portrayal of a soldier who fights not just with bullets, but with belief.”
