Emraan Hashmi elevates relevant story of Kashmir's silence, fury
The idea that a soldier takes on a mission not because of his duty but because of the kind of man he is, has something inherently powerful about it. It is a conflict that becomes even more difficult to deal with when he can't show his patriotism out loud. He doesn't believe in it. His relationship with his country is not contingent on his chest-thumping bravery on the field, but on the fire burning inside while he continues to be a man in search of a good and safe life for his family. And not just his - a safe life for those being manipulated and wronged by both the system and terrorism.(more)

Emraan Hashmi Pays A Fitting Tribute To An Unsung Hero, Keeping Patriotism At The Forefront!
The film adds to the list of unknown patriotic heroes being spotlighted: this year, it is the third such attempt after Sky Force and The Diplomat. And let me repeat, if it is in national matters, the more films, the merrier! Jai Hind!(more)

Emraan Hashmi's Kashmir drama strikes a much-needed balance in these fraught times
Hashmi does a good job of being Dubey, trying to tone down the dialoguing and making it sound conversational. But tighter would have been better.(more)

GROUND ZERO is a nononsense, actionpacked thriller.
Emraan Hashmi looks dashing and delivers a stupendous performance. He doesn�t indulge in unnecessary histrionics and keeps his performance believable. Mir Mehrooz has a crucial role and delivers an impactful performance. Sai Tamhankar (Jaya) is decent but does well in the pre-climax. Zoya Hussain (Aadila) is hardly there in the first half and is fair later on. Ekluvya (Chand Khan), Rockey Raina (Ghazi Baba) and Qazi Faiz (Hakeem) are great in cameos. Mukesh Tiwari (Sanjiv Sharma), Rahul Vohra (IB Chief), Deepak Parmesh (Binu Ramachandra), Lalit Prabhakar (Praveen) and Hanan (Ahmed; who brainwashes Husain) lend able support. Ram Avatar (PM Vajpayee) looks ditto like the former Prime Minister.(more)
