Ground Zero arrives at a time when Kashmir is at the center of heated debates, often portrayed as a place of violence and stark political divides.

Yet, Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar's film takes a different approach, choosing to explore the quieter, more complex human side of this ongoing conflict.

While not without its flaws, the flick presents a refreshing break from the typical action-packed, revenge-driven narratives associated with Kashmir in mainstream cinema.

Emraan Hashmi steps away from his usual roles to deliver a quietly powerful performance as Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, a BSF officer in Srinagar tasked with neutralizing a terrorist network led by Ghazi Baba.
