Martin (2024) English Subtitle - Dhruva Sarja’s Action Drama

Martin is a 2024 Kannada-language action thriller directed by A. P. Arjun and written by Arjun Sarja. Produced by Uday K. Mehta and Suraj Uday Mehta, the film stars Dhruva Sarja in a dual role alongside Vaibhavi Shandilya, Anveshi Jain, and Nikitin Dheer. With a hefty budget of ₹150 crore, the movie was touted as a high-octane thriller featuring grand visuals and action-packed sequences. However, Martin failed to impress critics and audiences, becoming a box-office disappointment.

The plot follows Arjun Saxena, an IRS officer who finds himself entangled in a high-stakes conflict involving his doppelgänger, Martin—a ruthless gangster. The story weaves through themes of memory loss, betrayal, and redemption, culminating in an action-filled climax. Despite an ambitious narrative, critics found the film lacking in coherence and depth. While Dhruva Sarja delivered a commendable performance in his dual roles, the screenplay and visual effects were widely criticized.

The film's soundtrack, composed by Mani Sharma, includes tracks like "Jeevan Neene" and "Anthem of Martin," but even the music couldn't salvage the film's poor reception. Critics like S. Sridevi from The Times of India (2.5/5) and Goutham S from Pinkvilla (1.5/5) panned the movie for prioritizing spectacle over substance.

Released theatrically on October 11, 2024, Martin grossed a meager ₹25.3 crore against its massive budget. Its grand production value and marketing hype failed to resonate with viewers, making it an unfortunate example of style over storytelling.
