Day 3 Box Office Collection for Ground Zero vs. Phule: On April 25, 2025, Pratik Gandhi-Patralekhaa’s biographical drama about Jyotiba and Savitribai Phule and Emraan Hashmi’s real-life-inspired film Ground Zero were released. At the box office, both films have been having trouble, with the former doing the best.

According to preliminary figures given by Sacnilk, Ground Zero finished its debut weekend at the box office with an anticipated total revenue of Rs 5.20 crore.

Ground Zero had a modest start on Friday, earning Rs 1.15 crore. The Emraan Hashmi-starring film made over Rs 1.9 crore on Saturday thanks to a little uptick in ticket sales. With initial estimates showing a collection of almost Rs 2.15 crore, the business on Sunday increased much further.

Even though it gradually increased over the course of the three days, Ground Zero’s overall performance was lackluster, and its maiden weekend came to a tepid conclusion. Now, it will be difficult for the real-life-inspired film to maintain its pace during the next workdays.

Based on a real incident, Tejas Deoskar’s film Ground Zero tells the narrative of the 2003 counterterrorism operation that resulted in the capture of Ghazi Baba, the mastermind of the 2001 assaults on Parliament and Akshardham Temple. In what has been called one of his most controlled and grounded performances to date, Emraan Hashmi assumes the role of BSF Commandant Dubey.

Day 3 Box Office Collection for Phule
Their capacity to produce strong statistics is clearly being hampered by Phule’s weak buzz. On the first Sunday, however, there was a little increase in the biographical drama.

When Phule, the biographical drama starring Pratik Gandhi and Patralekha, originally came out, it only brought in 21 lakh at the box office. in contrast to the former’s last film, Do Aur Do Pyaar, which made 80 lakh at the box office when it first came out. On day two, Phule earned Rs 26 lakh, and on day three, Rs 0.78 lakh.

Phule’s clash with Emraan Hashmi’s Ground Zero is another factor hurting the movie’s box office performance. There hasn’t been much buzz about the Pratik and Patralekhaa movie, and controversy has plagued it from the beginning. This supposedly led to a lot of changes being made to the biographical play by the censor board.

The film Phule is based on the lives of social reformer and crusader Jyotirao Phule and his wife Savitribai Phule, who made important contributions to the eradication of untouchability, the caste system, and women’s education. Anant Mahadevan is the director of the movie. Suresh Vishwakarma, Vinay Pathak, and Sushil Pandey all play key roles.
