Ground Zero ending explained: Emraan Hashmi's Ground Zero recently debuted on Prime Video and has received acclaim for its intense narrative and compelling performances. The film draws inspiration from the courageous story of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dubey, who led a secret mission to take down Ghazi Baba, the key figure behind the 2001 Parliament attack. As the movie builds to its gripping finale, viewers are eager to know how accurately it reflects real-life events. Here's a closer look at how Dubey's operation plays out on screen. Check out the Ground Zero ending explained below.
(Spoilers ahead, you know what to do) Ground Zero ending explained
The old Indian Parliament building is attacked, resulting in several deaths. Fortunately, the politicians were in the inner chambers and escaped unharmed. Despite this, the incident is viewed as a direct assault on the nation's democracy. With growing public and political pressure, the government is pushed to respond. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) identifies Ghazi as the mastermind behind the attack.
A college student named Hussain is revealed to be one of the attackers, and Dubey manages to capture him. Recognizing that the boy is a reluctant pawn in the larger scheme, Dubey decides to use him as an informant. However, when the terrorists discover Hussain's betrayal, they kill him, leaving Dubey burdened with guilt over the young man's fate.
How was Ghazi Baba captured?
The climax takes place during a high-stakes operation in Srinagar, where Ghazi Baba is hiding in a secure location. Dubey and his team launch an assault, resulting in a fierce shootout. Though Dubey is shot multiple times, he continues the mission with unwavering determination. Despite his injuries, he successfully kills Ghazi Baba, ending the reign of the terrorist behind the 2001 Parliament attack and other major assaults.
As the credits roll, the film honours the real-life hero Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, highlighting his gallant service, the Kirti Chakra he received for bravery, and his retirement from the BSF in 2022. Ground Zero cast and crew

Mukesh Khanna criticizes Jaya Bachchan's behaviour towards paparazzi amid the recent Parliament row; describes her act as simply 'wrong'
Jaya Bachchan is one of the most talented stars we have in the industry. However, she often finds herself in hot water owing to her rapport with fans and paparazzi. Recently, as well, when a fan tried to take a selfie with Jaya Bachchan outside Parliament, she was taken by surprise. She pushed the person and lashed out at him. This behaviour made her receive heavy criticism, and now 'Shaktimaan' fame Mukesh Khanna has also called out Jaya Bachchan. 'Aj kal jo rajyad sabha me unko behaviour dikh rha hai, jo unka journalists k sath, kya bolte hai ap, paprazi ke sath, 'kon hai ap? Kya kare rhe ap? Kya chahiye apko?' galat hai.' (Her behaviour in the Parliament, with the journalists, paparazzi, saying who are you, what are you doing, what do you want, this is wrong), said Mukesh Khanna while speaking to FilmyGyan. He added, 'Aap inke liye jee rahe ho.' (You are living for them). He then cited Amreesh Puri and Dilip Kumar, and how they used to speak to the shutterbugs. 'Dilip sahab used to ask 'who is sitting behind the camera,' but that was because he had trouble with that, but the way she talks in Rajya Sabha,' he said, expressing his discontentment. 'I feel she is either upset with something at home, but the arguments she gives I don't like them," he said before adding and asking why else would an actress who is so talented, have given movies like 'Mili' and 'Abhimaan,' would indulge in such behaviour. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Kangana Ranaut and Ashoke Pandit slam Jaya Bachchan Mukesh Khanna is not the only one who disapproved of her behaviour. Bollywood's 'Queen' Kangana Ranaut recently took to her social media story and wrote, 'Most spoilt and privileged woman.

Such disgrace and shame." On the other hand, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit also took to his Instagram and described her act as 'highly condemnable" and showed 'humiliation towards people who have elected her to serve them." He concluded by saying, 'A public servant can't afford to be sulking and irritated 24×7.
