Ground Zero box office collection Day 1:<\/strong> With multiple films releasing every week in the theatres, it becomes all the more important that a film has a certain buzz to ride on. It could be due to the star cast, the collaborations, or just the content of the film. Despite having all three, albeit with varying levels of impact, Emraan Hashmi\u2019s latest film, Ground Zero<\/strong><\/a>, hasn\u2019t made a huge splash at the box-office. Ground Zero, which had positive reviews from critics, and the audiences who turned up to watch the film, made just around Rs 1 crore on the opening day, as per Sacnilk. This was, unfortunately, one of the lowest showings of a Hindi film in 2025.<\/p>\n

The rather poor hype for the film resulted in just 8.63% occupancy for Ground Zero across the country. Although the night shows did show a considerably improved 14.06%, it is purely due to the word-of-mouth rather than the promotions, and considering the late upswing in the collections of Ground Zero, the makers would hope the weekend looks better for the film, which is directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar.<\/p>\n

The film just surpassed the numbers of Superboys of Malegaon (Rs 50 lakh), and has fallen in the same territory as Sohum Shah\u2019s Crazxy. In fact, Ground Zero opened to numbers lower than Loveyapa (Rs 1.15 crore) and Azaad (Rs 1.5 crore). Nevertheless, one thing that stands out in Ground Zero is the overwhelming positive reviews, and it can effect a turnaround in the film\u2019s fortunes.<\/p>\n

We have already seen it happen in another national fervour-filled film, The Diplomat, which opened to Rs 4 crore, and sustained the onslaught of films like Chhaava and Sikandar to remain a crowd-favourite. This could be the case with Ground Zero too, but it might not have the strength of a long and uninterrupted run. With Kesari: Chapter 2 already drawing in the crowds, another sequel, Raid 2, is set to hit the screens on May 1, and might just stop Ground Zero on its tracks.<\/p>\n

Apart from Emraan Hashmi<\/strong><\/a>, Ground Zero also stars a competent ensemble including actors like Sai Tamhankar, Mukesh Tiwari, Zoya Hussain, Mir Mohammed Mehroos, and Deepak Paramesh. In SCREEN\u2019s review of Ground Zero, Shubhra Gupta wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s tempting but not a good idea to extrapolate from films. But Ground Zero, which takes time to build an atmosphere of tension \u2014 stepping out to a market, even with your armed mates around you, can be your last day alive \u2014 is perhaps the much-needed kind of balance a film can achieve in these fraught times.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
