Dhruva Sarja‘s much-anticipated film ‘Martin‘ hit theatres on October 11, 2024, directed by AP Arjun. This action-packed thriller has multiple reactions from audiences, consisting of a mix of praise and criticism.
The film is about Martin along with his nemesis, who happens to be an IRS officer, Arjun as they keep fighting with each other in Pakistan. The movie’s shoot took 240 days, where a minimum of 100 days were dedicated to the action-packed scenes.
On social media site X (formerly Twitter) a user wrote, “The intensity and energy in #Martin are next-level! @DhruvaSarja nailed it with powerful action and gripping storytelling. Don’t miss out on this blockbuster!”
However, the reception has been decidedly mixed. Some viewers have lauded the film for its intense action and engaging storytelling. The enthusiastic social media user praised Dhruva Sarja’s performance, calling it “next-level” and urging others not to miss this blockbuster. Conversely, others have expressed disappointment, criticizing the film for its lack of storyline and weak performances. One user rated it just one out of five stars, suggesting that the film’s scale did not match its execution and lamenting Dhruva’s choice to take on such a project.
The user wrote, “#Martin Review(1/5)-cringe movie disappointing by acting of #DhruvaSarja stop doing these type of films.director would have taken this movie as a small scale he took large scale and made it cringe.i don’t know how director fooled producer for making this cringe.”
One user said, “Martin Full Havliii Bossss nam area lii”
Another said, “#Martin – The hate is completely unwarranted. This movie was awesome! @DhruvaSarja did a killer job and the twists are”
Another user’s tweet reads, “#Martin movie : For the first time I walked out of theatre in the middle of 2nd half … Epic Rod film The most irritating & torturous film I have ever seen Horrible Bgm worsened the scenes which were already pathetic.. Don’t know why #DhruvaSarja wanted to do this film”
Comments on social media reflect this divide. While some fans celebrate the action sequences as groundbreaking, others have voiced their frustrations, with one viewer even walking out midway through the film due to what they described as “irritating” scenes and poor background music.
