Ground Zero Box Office Collection Day 1: Emraan Hashmi Starrer Becomes One Of Bollywood's Lowest Openers In 2025

Ground Zero Box Office Collection: The Emraan Hashmi starrer hit the big screens on April 24. Despite the positive reviews from critics and cine-goers, the movie has not fared well at the ticketing counter. The action thriller is centred around the BSF officer, Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who led the operation to track the mastermind behind the 2001 terrorist attacks on the Parliament and Akshardham Temple.
