'Ground Zero’ Twitter review: Emraan Hashmi’s film strikes a chord for its emotional plot; fans say movie 'Feels like grief’

Emraan Hashmi’s much-anticipated action-thriller 'Ground Zero' has finally hit the screens, and Twitter is already flooded with emotional responses. Directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, the film is inspired by the real-life story of Kirti Chakra awardee BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey. Set in the volatile backdrop of Srinagar in 2001, the film follows Officer Dubey as he fights a rising wave of terrorism orchestrated by Jaish-e-Mohammed’s Rana Tahir Nadeem aka Ghazi Baba.
Based on a true story, 'Ground Zero' dives deep into the tension and bravery that gripped Kashmir during the early 2000s. The film that was released on Friday, amidst a tense backdrop of the Pahalgam terrr attack, has since struck a chord among viewers.
One Twitter user who caught the early screening of the film, shared, “Watched Ground Zero today at a special screening in Delhi. The movie, co-produced by our Abhishek Kumar Ji, is set to release on April 25th. It's a proud and heroic portrayal of patriotism, based on the true story of Kirti Chakra winner N N D Dubey. This is a must-watch movie.”

The film also takes pride in presenting the beauty and significance of Kashmir, while addressing the harsh realities of conflict. Another user expressed, “Totally loved #GroundZero great work by Director Tejas and team! @emraanhashmi Kashmir is India and the movie is to remind each one of us so much about our beautiful land… Great work. Jai Hind.”
Many praised the performances and tight narrative of the film.
“#GroundZero is an impactful film about the war against terrorism. So relevant in these testing times. The execution is devoid of any cinematic liberties. @emraanhashmi is outstanding in the lead role. #SaiTamhankar and #ZoyaHussain are worthwhile too. The screenplay is flawless.”
A final tweet summed up the depth of Ground Zero’s emotional impact:
“Had to rewatch the Ground Zero trailer today. It hit differently. My throat tightened. My eyes welled up. It’s become harder to separate reel from real. Because sometimes, a film doesn’t feel like a film anymore. It feels like grief. #GroundZero #EmraanHashmi”
With such heartfelt reactions pouring in, Ground Zero looks set to make a lasting impression at the box office.
