Ground Zero Box Office collection Day 2: Emraan Hashmi's action-thriller sees 65% uptick in earnings; mints THIS amount

Ground Zero Box Office collection Day 2: Emraan Hashmi's latest Bollywood movie, which hit the big screen on April 25, delivered a strong show in India on first Saturday, Day 2. Although first day earnings depressed fans but its comeback on the subsequent day with 65.22% surge in revenue is remarkable.

Directed by Tejas Deoskar and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, the action thriller is based on real life events. It is centred on the 2001 Parliament attack probe and the 2002 Akshardham temple attack in Gujarat's Gandhinagar. It unveils the quest of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who played a key role in tracking down the mastermind Ghazi Baba, marking India's major anti-terror operation.

Notably, Ground Zero faces stiff competition from other Bollywood films such as Sunny Deol's 'Jaat' and Akshay Kumar's 'Kesari Chapter 2.' Alongside lead actor, the star cast features Sai Tamhankar, Zoya Hussain, Mukesh Tiwari, Deepak Parmesh, Lalit Prabhakar, Rockey Raina and Rahul Vohra in key roles.

That's where the whole game of relevance comes in,” the 48-year-old actor said in an interview with PTI, days before Ground Zero release.
