Ground Zero box office collection
According to the report, the film collected ₹1 crore nett in India as per early estimates. Ground Zero had an overall 8.63% occupancy on Friday. This film marks the second-lowest collection of Emraan’s films in the last few years.

HT review of Ground Zero
The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Emraan Hashmi as Narendra gives it his all as an actor. Here, he gets a chance to laugh, cry, fight- but falls a bit short in scenes which require more aggression and passion. Sai Tamhankar as his better half plays her role well. Mukesh Tiwari gets a chance to move away from the many comic roles we have seen him in till date, and he manages it. Zoya Hussain as an intelligence official lends good support to Emraan’s character. Overall, Ground Zero is a well-made film that has arrived at the right time. It thankfully steers away from chest-thumping jingoism, and that is a relief.”
