Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Ground Zero’ Couldn't Impress Netizens, Say 'Template Is Used By Other Films'
‘Ground Zero’ Twitter Review: On Friday (April 25), the highly anticipated historical thriller ‘Ground Zero’, starring Emraan Hashmi and Sai Tamhankar, hit theatres. The film's depiction of the aftermath of the 2001 Parliament assault and India's biggest anti-terror operation has already started a debate online. Featuring Hashmi as BSF officer Narendra Dubey, who heads the operation to find and kill Ghazi Baba in Kashmir, the film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar.
Early viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their thoughts, with many lauding Emraan Hashmi's commanding performance and the film's fearless portrayal of actual events. However, the majority of people didn’t like the movie and called it 'dull and exhausting.'
Quickly after the film's first screenings, a user wrote, “#GroundZero is another dud from @excelmovies. At a time when only mindless mass masala with stars is working in theaters, here is an OTT film with a faded star trying to tell a logical story.”
Another reviewer said, “#EmraanHashmi tries to attempt a new zone but fails and with him falling down, there is nothing else to keep the film standing. Since every template is used by other films, this film lacks novelty, and looks dull & exhausting.”
'Ground Zero' Positive Review
Meanwhile, a lot of people related to the film because of how real it was and how heavy it was emotionally. Someone said, “Films like #GroundZero aren’t just stories with loud rhetoric; they bring to the screen the very real sacrifices of our soldiers and civilians. These films carry a painful truth we can’t afford to ignore. We all hope justice follows, swiftly and surely. Hope it works big time…”
