As an ardent fan of action flicks, I must say that Martin has been a rollercoaster ride for me. Coming from the illustrious Arjun Sarja family, I had high hopes for this Kannada-language movie. The ensemble cast, including Dhruva Sarja, Vaibhavi Shandilya, and Anveshi Jain, was a promising start.
The much-anticipated action thriller film “Martin,” starring Dhruva Sarja, is now playing in cinemas. Notably, the story for this Kannada production was penned by Action King Arjun Sarja himself, with AP Arjun serving as the director.
This movie boasts a talented group of actors including Vaibhavi Shandilya, Anveshi Jain, Sukrutha Wagle, Achyuth Kumar, Nikitin Dheer, and several others. If you’re considering seeing it on the big screen, here’s a review from TopMob that you might find helpful!
The Plot:
Martin traces the narrative of Lieutenant Brigadier Arjun Saxena, a soldier from the Indian military grappling with amnesia and seeking to uncover his real identity. On this self-discovery mission, the agent navigates his path from India towards Pakistan.
In addition to his personal journey and commitment to protecting his nation, this character encounters challenges as he confronts illicit traders connected to terrorists. The story’s latter half delves into his romantic entanglements and showcases his efforts to achieve success amidst these complications.
The Good:
Martin, featuring Dhruva Sarja in the lead role, is an action-packed film that primarily showcases the massive presence of the actor and the impressive grandeur he brings to the screen. The movie abounds with moments of heroism for the actor, which are sure to delight his fans and have them shouting and applauding enthusiastically.
As a devoted fan, I must say that the movie delves deeply into the intricate choreography of some epic action scenes, presented with significant impact. While these scenes offer room for even more dramatic effect, at this stage, it seems rather minute to criticize such details.
Furthermore, the movie boasts impressive technical elements, featuring powerful background music composed by Ravi Basrur. His skillful use of music enhances key scenes in the film. Additionally, Satya Hegde, recognized for his work on Myna and U Turn, contributes stunning visuals to the production as well.
The Bad:
The action movie starring Dhurva Sarja feels like a repetition of many action films we’ve seen before. Unfortunately, its storyline is extremely thin and doesn’t offer much in terms of intrigue or audience involvement.
Beyond the dramatic scenes and nods to popular culture, this movie attempts to construct an epic narrative of courage reminiscent of KGF. The action scenes offered a glimmer of promise, but the overall delivery fell short, leaving viewers disoriented.
The story portrays the man as a force equivalent to ten elephants, and watching him crush his opponents is almost too intense to watch, causing one to ponder the meaning of life itself. Additionally, the dialogue in the film is so awkward that we feel second-hand embarrassment just trying to navigate the world of Martin.
Regarding the technical elements of the film, Mani Sharma’s music failed to capture our attention and was difficult to endure. The songs were downright unpleasant. Additionally, the movie’s visual effects are disconcerting, leaving us questioning where the investment was allocated.
The Performance:
In simpler terms, one could say that Dhruva Sarja seems to be single-handedly shouldering the burden of this rather chaotic film. Despite offering an impressive and commanding portrayal, even a strong actor like him may struggle when the overall quality of the movie appears to be faltering.
The Verdict:
The film “Martin,” starring Dhruva Sarja, doesn’t present anything fresh when it comes to the plot. Instead, it focuses on generating wonder by portraying a character larger than life, potentially setting the stage for future installments in a series.
Although the movie could offer thrilling scenes for die-hard Action Prince admirers, it’s unlikely to resonate as strongly with typical viewers. After all, if you’re seeking a grandiose hero like the one portrayed in KGF, watching KGF itself would be a more rewarding choice.
