The trailer for Ground Zero, starring Emraan Hashmi, has just been released, and it’s already making waves. The film is set in the early 2000s in Kashmir, a time of deep unrest and tension. This action-packed drama brings to life the story of a brave BSF (Border Security Force) officer and his fight to bring peace to the valley.
Emraan Hashmi as a Fearless Officer
In Ground Zero, Emraan Hashmi plays the lead role of Narendra Nath Dubey, a courageous BSF officer. His mission is not just to defeat terrorists, but to win the hearts and minds of the people. The story is based on real-life events and shows the challenges faced by security forces during that period in Kashmir.
The trailer opens with a shocking attack on BSF soldiers, where 60 to 70 officers are killed in a short span of time. Amidst the chaos, Emraan Hashmi’s character is introduced as “the best man for the job.” He arrives to lead a mission that could change everything.
A Fight for Peace, Not Just War
What makes Ground Zero different from other war films is its emotional depth. It’s not just about gunfights and battles. The film shows a man who wants change — real change. Officer Dubey dreams of a better future for the people of Kashmir, especially the youth. He says he wants to see paintbrushes in the hands of children instead of pistols.
However, as the story progresses, we see him calling for a prahar (which means an attack). This twist hints at deeper problems within the system — a conflict that may force even a peace-loving man to take harsh steps. Can Officer Dubey stick to his mission of peace, or will circumstances push him into violence?
Powerful Dialogue and Real Emotion
The trailer showcases strong dialogues, intense action scenes, and emotional moments that reflect the real struggles in Kashmir during those years. Emraan Hashmi delivers a serious and heartfelt performance, showing both strength and vulnerability.
Farhan Akhtar, who shared the trailer on social media, wrote, “A faceless enemy, a fearless officer. The hunt begins.” These words set the tone for a gripping story of duty, sacrifice, and hope.
