Ground Zero Movie Reviews

Ground Zero, directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar and starring Emraan Hashmi, has received a mixed-to-positive critical reception. Most reviewers commend the film’s grounded portrayal of a real-life BSF officer, with Hashmi earning praise for his restrained and committed performance. While some critics, like Koimoi and Firstpost, call it a “fitting tribute” and “impactful biopic,” others, such as Rediff and Indian Express, feel the film falls short of emotional depth and narrative tightness. The film’s strength lies in its realism, absence of unnecessary melodrama, and its attempt to strike a balance between action and socio-political sensitivity. However, some reviews also point out that the film plays it safe and lacks the narrative boldness to truly stand out.

Verdict:

Ground Zero is a sincere, well-acted, and moderately gripping biographical drama that delivers its patriotic message effectively, even if it doesn’t break new ground in the genre.
