Emraan Hashmi 's Ground Zero is close to earning ₹7 crore at the box office. On Day 5, the action thriller collected ₹63 lakh through ticket windows, according to a report by Sacnilk. With this, the Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar directorial has minted ₹6.46 crore in the domestic market.
Ground Zero recorded an overall 11.15% Hindi occupancy on April 29, the report added. Breaking it down – morning shows saw 5.78%, afternoon shows recorded 11.13%, evening shows had 11.07%, while night shows peaked at 16.61%.
Ground Zero made history by becoming the first movie in 38 years to have a red-carpet premiere in Srinagar — a big deal considering how cinema halls had shut down there after the unrest in 1989.
Speaking to NDTV about the shoot and premiere, Emraan Hashmi said, 'It was a huge cultural event. It was quite historic. After 38 years, who would have thought a certain air of normalcy would come back in Srinagar? It is a region that has been clouded by perception and goes from the past. When we went for our shoot in Srinagar, safety norms and the entire shooting went smoothly. We did not have any issues there.'
'We wanted to have an event for the jawans, for the officers, for some of the locals over there. There were just smiles on their faces of a certain normalcy, that has come back to the city, of having a red carpet event, having people from the Hindi film industry come there and showcase their film,' the actor added.
Ground Zero follows the brave journey of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who led the daring 2003 mission that ended with the death of feared terrorist Rana Tahir Nadeem, better known as Ghazi Baba.
In addition to Emraan Hashmi, Ground Zero also features Sai Tamhankar, Zoya Hussain, Mukesh Tiwari, Deepak Parmesh, Lalit Prabhakar and Rockey Raina in key roles.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui slams streaming platforms for prioritizing profit over art: 'Baazar toh ban hi gaya'
Nawazuddin Siddiqui criticized streaming platforms for prioritizing profits over creativity, calling them marketplaces. He warned that overemphasizing commercial aspects harms art. Recently, Anurag Kashyap called Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos 'the definition of dumb,' sparking mixed reactions, including a subtle jab from Ekta Kapoor referencing Kashyap's 'saas-bahu' remark. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has frequently voiced his concerns about the Hindi film industry's shortcomings. Recently, he also took aim at streaming services, accusing them of putting business and profits ahead of creativity and artistic quality. According to him, these platforms have turned into commercial hubs, losing sight of true artistic values. Streaming Platforms Turning into Marketplaces Talking to SCREEN, Siddiqui said, 'Irrespective of any platform or any process, it starts out as great and then turns into a market. Baazar toh ban hi gaya hai. Studios in India keep saying we need 'commercial' qualities attached to every project. I don't agree with that. If the product is of a certain quality, then the commercial aspect eventually gets attached to it organically.' The Harm of Overemphasizing Commercial Aspects He explained that placing too much emphasis on the commercial side of art can cause significant harm. Over time, projects that begin with great passion often end up becoming purely business ventures.

UP Police's 'Housefull 5'-inspired road safety post garners praise from Riteish Deshmukh
Lucknow, The Uttar Pradesh Police has used a creative social media post inspired by the recently released Hindi film "Housefull 5" to promote road safety and highlight the importance of wearing helmets. The post has drawn appreciation from actor Riteish Deshmukh, who is part of the film's ensemble cast. On June 9, UP Police shared a graphic on their official X account, mimicking Housefull 5's distinctive double climax format. The police post offered two contrasting visuals as "climax choices" for two-wheeler riders, one showing a man wearing a helmet and another showing the same man with a head injury and bandage, having not worn a helmet . The caption cleverly read: "Book your climax wisely". The post quickly gained traction on social media, clocking over 1.32 lakh views, 1,200 likes, and around 650 retweets within 24 hours. Joining the chorus of appreciation, "Housefull 5" actor Riteish Deshmukh quote-tweeted the post and commented: "Be Responsible ' Make the right choice. @Uppolice #RoadSafety #Helmet" The state police headquarters on Tuesday confirmed that the post was issued on the instructions of Director General of Police Rajeev Krishna as part of an ongoing campaign to increase public awareness on road safety through engaging digital content. In a press statement, UP Police said, "The post was created to encourage helmet usage in a relatable and entertaining manner. Using pop culture references helps connect better with the public, especially youth. Our aim is to ensure safety messages are seen, understood, and followed." The department added that it has consistently used creative campaigns to spread awareness on important civic and traffic issues. In the past, actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee, Disha Patani, Emraan Hashmi, and Ali Fazal have also engaged with UP Police's social media posts. Housefull 5, the latest installment of the popular comedy franchise, features Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan, among others. The film has generated buzz for offering two alternate endings, giving audiences a choice in how the story concludes an idea the police cleverly repurposed for their road safety campaign. Uttar Pradesh is among the states recording most number of road accidents, injuries and fatalities. So far this year, over 7,700 road users have lost their lives in road crashes in the state, according to an official data accessed by PTI.
