Ground Zero, starring Emraan Hashmi, has completed its first weekend at the box office, ending with a total collection of Rs 2 crore. The film, which opened on a relatively modest note, saw a steady performance over its first three days. On Day 3, the film managed to hold its ground, bringing in consistent figures despite the competition from other releases.
Emraan Hashmi’s latest film, Ground Zero, hit theatres on April 25, 2025. Marking his debut as a BSF officer, the action-packed thriller is inspired by real-life events. Ground Zero had a slow start at the box office, earning only Rs 1.
15 crore on its opening day. The film faced a slight dip on Day 2, with collections dropping to Rs 1.9 crore.
However, positive word-of-mouth in some regions helped boost its performance on Day 3, with the film earning Rs 2.15 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. As a result, the film’s total India net collection after its opening weekend stands at Rs 5.
20 crore. Ground Zero has had a challenging run at the box office, facing tough competition from other major releases like Jaat and Kesari Chapter 2, which continue to draw in large audiences. Adding to the competition is the re-release of the cult classic Andaz Apna Apna, which has further split the attention of moviegoers.
For Ground Zero to stay in the race and finish with respectable numbers, it will need to build momentum in the coming days. Directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, making his Hindi theatrical debut, Ground Zero tells the gripping story of a BSF officer leading an operation against terrorists in the tense aftermath of the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. Alongside Emraan Hashmi, the film features Zoya Hussain and Sai Tamhankar in key roles.
Meanwhile, Emraan Hashmi recently shared a major announcement. The actor is all set to return with Awarapan 2, a sequel to his 2007 hit Awarapan. The film is slated for release on April 3, 2026.
Speaking exclusively to News18 Showsha, Emraan spills the beans on the much-awaited sequel. “July end is when we’ll start the shoot." In the last one year, the action crime film saw a resurgence on social media with fans making reels, expressing their love for the film, its soundtrack and the chemistry between the lead pair.
But Emraan asserts that it’s not the public demand and affection in these recent months that nudged them to announce the sequel..
