Jai Hind.'
Many praised the performances and tight narrative of the film.
'#GroundZero is an impactful film about the war against terrorism. So relevant in these testing times. The execution is devoid of any cinematic liberties. @emraanhashmi is outstanding in the lead role. #SaiTamhankar and #ZoyaHussain are worthwhile too. The screenplay is flawless.'
A final tweet summed up the depth of Ground Zero's emotional impact:
'Had to rewatch the Ground Zero trailer today. It hit differently. My throat tightened. My eyes welled up. It's become harder to separate reel from real. Because sometimes, a film doesn't feel like a film anymore. It feels like grief. #GroundZero #EmraanHashmi'
With such heartfelt reactions pouring in, Ground Zero looks set to make a lasting impression at the box office.

Tom Holland takes cooking lessons from brother Sam to impress fiancée Zendaya
\When fiancée Zendaya is on set, Tom Holland alternates in the kitchen. To keep him from crashing and burning while attempting to put dinner on the table, his brother, Sam Holland, who is also a chef, has been giving him recipes. People report that 25-year-old Sam recently published his new cookbook, Kitchen Kickstart. Sam told The Times that while Zendaya was filming in Boston, he made sure his famous sister had some simple meals prepared. He took special care with the vegetarian options, knowing Zendaya follows a plant-based diet, and sent the recipes to Tom, who was handling dinner duties during her shoot. Sam said Tom went through each recipe and enjoyed them thoroughly. The culinary expertise of the Holland brothers Sam joked that even his own family can manage his cooking. He noted that Tom, his twin Harry, 26, and their younger brother Paddy, 20, are likely all just beginner-level cooks. Tom, however, isn't willing to give up the kitchen himself. On the Dish podcast with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett last December, he shared that he enjoys cooking and has been exploring more vegetarian dishes, partly because his girlfriend follows a vegetarian diet. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Prestige White Meadows: Sky Villas in Whitefield Prestige White Meadows Learn More Undo While some meals did well, others didn't Tom explained that while Zendaya was working in Boston, he had been cooking most of the time.

Despite not having a professional kitchen, the couple, who became engaged late last year, appears to have everything covered with Zendaya's pasta, Tom's attempts at vegetarian dishes, and Sam's detailed instructions.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Sarika's mock interview upsets Kalabhavan Sariga; Duo reconciles with heartfelt conversation
Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 witnessed a playful task turn sour when Sarika's mock interview with Sariga led to hurt feelings due to insinuations about her character. Sariga expressed her disappointment, prompting Sarika to offer a sincere apology, even addressing Sariga's husband through the camera to clarify her intentions were purely for entertainment. Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 continues to strike a balance between high-voltage drama and genuine emotional moments. In a recent episode, a playful task took an unexpected emotional turn when Sarika 's mock interview with fellow contestant Sariga left the latter deeply hurt. However, what followed was a touching reconciliation that reminded viewers of the show's human side. As part of a light-hearted segment inside the house, Sarika assumed the role of the bold, no-holds-barred interviewer and conducted a pretend post-Bigg Boss interview with Sariga. Known for her witty and often controversial style, Sarika asked pointed and exaggerated questions that she thought would be taken in jest. However, one particular comment — suggesting that Sariga was being 'flirty' with male contestants — did not sit well with her. Though other housemates laughed off the segment as harmless fun, Sariga was visibly upset and later confided in Akbar and Binny that the remarks had deeply hurt her. She expressed that, in her 20-year career, she had never been subjected to such personal insinuations, and was especially concerned about how such comments might impact her family's perception outside the house. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Neuropathy is not from Low Vitamin B.

Sarika, who initially defended the act as part of a humorous task, soon realised the emotional weight her words had carried and offered a sincere apology. In a private conversation, Sarika even addressed Sariga's husband directly through the camera. 'Everything I said during the mock interview was just for fun. Sariga is a gem of a person. As someone who hasn't had a happy married life, I know how important it is to have a good family. You're lucky to have her,' Sarika said emotionally. The conversation ended with the two hugging it out, bringing a moment of warmth and emotional healing into the often volatile Bigg Boss house.
