Reviews:

Ground Zero is a powerful film that offers a raw, emotional, and authentic portrayal of Kashmir. Unlike typical thrillers filled with bomb blasts and action clichés, this movie dives deep into the human side of conflict, making it a refreshing and thought-provoking experience.

The screenplay by Sanchit and Priyadarshini is exceptional—tight, layered, and emotionally charged. From start to finish, I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. The storytelling feels real and grounded, capturing the pain, hope, and resilience of the people caught in the crossfire.

Tejas deserves major praise for his brilliant direction, bringing out the best in every frame and performance. And speaking of performances, Emraan Hashmi delivers what is easily a career-best act—subtle, intense, and deeply moving.

Ground Zero is not just a film; it’s an experience. It grips you, moves you, and stays with you long after the credits roll. A must-watch for anyone looking for cinema with substance.
