With a collection of Rs 1.9 crores on first Saturday and Rs 2.1 crores on the first Sunday, Ground Zero made a collection of Rs 4 crores during the opening weekend. To note, Ground Zero has been struggling at the box office given the massive buzz of Kesari Chapter 2 and Jaat which are in second and third week respectively.

Meanwhile, talking about Ground Zero and his character, Emraan stated, "There's an old phrase that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction and this phrase is appropriate for this film. I remember meeting Mr. Dubey, whose character I am portraying, for the first time. I remember telling him that his story is more filmy than a film. And it really is. Just like our brave BSF officers. The officer who all planned this and the encounter happened in 2003. It's nothing short of extraordinary and unbelievable"
