Review: Ground Zero Is One Of Emraan Hashmi's Most Nuanced Performances

Ground Zero, directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, is a film that, at its core, aims to explore the complexities of the Kashmir conflict through the eyes of a dedicated Border Security Force (BSF) officer, Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, played by Emraan Hashmi.

Based on real-life events surrounding the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the subsequent hunt for terrorist Ghazi Baba, the film promises a tense, action-packed narrative filled with moral dilemmas and political questions.

However, despite its ambitious intentions, Ground Zero finds itself caught between its desire for realism and the constraints of a genre that often leans heavily on dramatic flair. The result is a film that, while competent in parts, ultimately feels uneven and lacking in emotional depth.
