Ground Zero box office collection day 3: Emraan Hashmi film continues upward climb, but still earns just ₹5 crore
Ground Zero box office collection day 3: The Tejas Deoskar film is now witnessing a growth in its earnings. As per the film starring Emraan Hashmi earned over ₹2 crore on day three, Sunday. Ground Zero is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment. (Also Read | Ground Zero movie review: Emraan Hashmi's well-made thriller drags slightly but pays off well) According to the report, Ground Zero earned ₹1.15 crore on day one and ₹1.9 crore on day two. On day three it collected ₹2.15 crore nett in India, as per early estimates. So far, Ground Zero has earned ₹5.20 crore in India. The film had an overall 17.25% Hindi occupancy on Sunday. If we take a look at Emraan's films in the last few years, Ground Zero has not been doing very well. However, it has been holding steady. Emraan's last film Tiger 3 (2023) with Salman Khan earned ₹44.3 crore nett on day three in India. The same year, his film Selfiee, with Akshay Kumar, collected ₹3.95 crore nett in India on the third day. His 2021 film Chehre with Amitabh Bachchan had earned only ₹90 lakh on day three of its release. 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." The action-thriller also stars Sai Tamhankar and Zoya Hussain in prominent roles. Ground Zero chronicles the story of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who led the operation to track the mastermind behind the 2001 terrorist attacks on the Parliament and Akshardham Temple.

Ground Zero Box Office Collection Day 3: Emraan Hashmi's film shows slight improvement, makes Rs 5 cr; earns 50 percent less than his last release
Ground Zero Box Office Collection Day 3: Emraan Hashmi 's military drama Ground Zero had a slow start at the box office. However, the current situation in the valley and strong word of mouth seem to have given a push to the film at the box office. On Sunday, the film earned Rs 2.15 crores at the box office, performing better than its first two days. On Friday, the film earned Rs 1.15 crore, and on Saturday, it collected Rs 1.9 crore. After three days, Ground Zero's net India collection stands at Rs 5.20 crores. Worldwide, the Emraan Hashmi starrer has earned Rs 3.65 crores in the first two days and its third-day collection is awaited. While Emraan's last film, Tiger 3, starring Salman Khan in the lead, had earned in double digits, Rs 43.5 crores on its third day, his film Selfiee, before that, had collected Rs 3.95 crores on its third day and over Rs 10 crore in the first weekend. His 2021 film, Mumbai Saga, had also performed better than Ground Zero and earned Rs 3.5 crores on day 3 and a shade over Rs 8 cr in the first weekend. Considering how films have been underperforming at the box office of late, Ground Zero has had quite a decent and promising start. But compared to Emraan's past box office trajectory, the film has failed to surpass his last few releases. However, the buzz for the film has only grown, which has led to an increase in its occupancy. On Sunday, the overall occupancy for Ground Zero was 17.25 percent with a total of 1669 shows. Chennai had the highest occupancy of 67.25 percent with just 7 shows. The occupancy for the Emraan Hashmi starrer was also high in Kolkata, with 23 percent and 99 shows. In Delhi -NCR, the film has 422 shows, and its occupancy was 14.75 percent. In Mumbai, the film's occupancy was 18.75 percent with 274 shows.

Recently, the film's director, Tejas Deoskar, shared his working experience with Emraan and why he decided to cast him in Ground Zero. In a conversation with news agency ANI, he shared that his first choice was Emraan, 'When you start writing the script, visualising the script, you start also seeing the actor in it.' "And the reason why I thought Emraan could be a choice because he brings in a certain level of novelty because he's not done a role in uniform. Nobody has expected him to be a soldier or an officer, so I thought that I can bring in a new perspective from a casting point of view," he had added.
