  • Martin takes an excellent start of Rs 6 crore in Karnataka
  • The film hasn't done well outside of its home state
  • Martin plays in theatres now

Martin directed by A.P. Arjun and starring Dhruva Sarja, Vaibhavi Shandilya and others took an excellent start at the box office in Karnataka as it grossed Rs 6 crore. It is Dhruva Sarja's biggest opening as a solo lead. The opening of the movie in India outside Karnataka isn't impressive. The film is almost a washout outside of the home state. The collection of Martin outside Karnataka is not even touching Rs 1 crore. 

Martin Takes An Excellent Start In Karnataka; Doesn't Make It's Presence Felt Outside Of The Home State

Martin's India collections are in the vicinity of Rs 6.75 crore. That's more than the Hindi releases Jigra and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. Dussehra should ensure a very solid weekend for the movie in Karnataka, despite the poor critical reception. The makers intended to make the movie big on a pan-India level but that has unfortunately not happened, thanks to the excessive delays and the treatment which isn't particularly universal. The part 2 of the film is in jeopardy because a movie of this scale needs to strike a chord on a pan-India level, for part 2 to be justified. Regardless, Martin has opened the doors for Dhruva Sarja to become the next a-lister from Karnataka. If he makes good choices, he surely can be the next big thing.

Amidst the same, he is also dealing against black market dealers who are plotting along with terrorists. Along with his mission of finding himself and defending his country, the man also falls in love, and the rest of the film focuses on how he manages all of these missions.
