If you’ve been waiting to catch Ground Zero online, the good news is — you don’t have to wait much longer. The Emraan Hashmi-starrer, which quietly released in theatres back in April, is finally heading to OTT. And now, viewers who skipped the cinema run (or didn’t even hear about it then!) can finally experience this gripping story from the comfort of their couch. So grab your snacks, and here are all the details you need to know.
Ground Zero: Emraan In A Never-Seen-Before Role
Let’s be honest — most of us associate Emraan Hashmi with intense thrillers or romantic hits. But in Ground Zero, he’s playing a role that’s all heart and depth.
He becomes the officer, the patriot, the family man — all at once. And he does it so subtly, you almost forget he’s acting. He described the movie as “personal,” and his emotional investment throughout is evident. It is one of those performances that you remember long after the credits have rolled.
Ground Zero OTT Release Date
Emraan Hashmi’s Ground Zero is arriving on June 20, 2025, on streaming platform Amazon Prime Video. If you already have a Prime Video subscription, you’re all set. If not, this could be the perfect time to get one, because Ground Zero is the kind of film that feels worth watching. Also, not to forget, Panchayat Season 4 is also coming on Prime Video.
Ground Zero Cast
Alongside Emraan Hashmi, the cast brings a beautiful balance to the story. You’ve got:
- Sai Tamhankar plays the officer’s wife and emotional support system, Jaya Dubey.
- Zoya Hussain as Aadila
- Deepak Paramesh as Binu Ramchandra
- Mukesh Tiwari as Sanjiv Sharma
- Rockey Raina as Ghazi Baba
- Lalit Prabhakar as Praveen
- Rahul Vohra as Dhyaan
- Ekluvya as Chand Khan
Every character adds something meaningful — you get a real sense of team, emotion, and sacrifice.
About Ground Zero
This isn’t your typical “hero with muscles saving the day” kind of film. Ground Zero tells the story of a real man — Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, a BSF officer who led a silent but life-changing mission.
His target? Ghazi Baba, the mastermind of the 2001 Parliament attack and the 2002 Akshardham temple strike. It involves strategy, loyalty, and quiet bravery in addition to the action.
What makes the storytelling unique is its sense of realism and authenticity. There aren’t any overly dramatic dialogues or loud background scores here. Just a gripping story about one man doing his job for his country—with heart and grit.
Ground Zero: Box Office Vs Impact
Let’s be real — Ground Zero didn’t exactly light up the box office. It collected around ₹7.76 crore in India and ₹8.39 crore globally. Not huge numbers. However, that doesn’t imply the movie wasn’t good.
Some stories don’t scream for attention — they quietly hit you where it matters. And now that it’s heading to OTT, it’s getting a second chance with the audience it was always meant for.
Final Thoughts
Ground Zero is more than a movie. It’s a reminder that real people are doing real, dangerous things so that the rest of us can live safely and quietly.
It doesn’t try too hard to be a patriotic blockbuster. However, it lets the story and the man who led the mission do the expressing themselves. Don’t pass this one up if you enjoy true-to-life stories or if you’re simply looking for something challenging and thought-provoking.
Prime Video will be streaming Ground Zero this Friday, June 20, with Emraan Hashmi playing his most realistic role to date. Take a look, experience it, and share your thoughts in the comment section! Do follow us for more Bollywood buzz!
