Martin Movie Review Roundup: Grand Action, but Story Falls Short 🎬💥 #Martin #DhruvaSarja

TL;DR: Martin, starring Dhruva Sarja and directed by A.P. Arjun, has finally hit theatres, and the reviews are less than flattering. While the movie boasts high-octane action sequences and grand visuals, critics have panned the storyline for being predictable and lacking depth. Here’s a look at the ratings and reactions from critics and fans. 📊


Critics’ Take: Stunning Action, Weak Storyline 🧐

  • India Today gave Martin a 2/5 rating, stating that while Dhruva Sarja shines in his role, the film’s predictable plot and over-the-top execution weigh it down. The review emphasized that the film's action sequences were thrilling, but the overall experience lacked the emotional connection necessary for a memorable movie​(Wikipedia).


  • OTTPlay also rated it 2/5, calling the film a "lost opportunity." While Dhruva vs Dhruva’s potential was noted, they criticized the wafer-thin plot and the overemphasis on grandiosity without delivering a compelling story. According to them, this film might appeal to die-hard fans, but not to viewers looking for a strong narrative​(Wikipedia).


  • Times Now described Martin as a “Big-Budget Disappointment” and rated it 2/5. The review mentioned that the film relies too heavily on visual flair and loud music, failing to deliver on the storytelling front. While the cinematography and action choreography were praised, the film’s pacing and screenplay left much to be desired​(Wikipedia).


Social Media Buzz: Divided Reactions 📲🔥

On social media, fans and critics alike shared their mixed reactions:

  • A fan on Twitter said, “Martin is a feast for action lovers but don’t go in expecting a deep story. Dhruva is solid, but the movie drags a lot in the second half. 🌟💥 #MartinReview”

  • Another viewer posted, “Visually stunning, but where’s the story? I miss the balance between style and substance. It’s all explosions but no heart. 🤯 #MartinMovie.”

A Look at the Ratings ⭐📉

Here's how different outlets rated Martin:

  • India Today: 2/5 - Commended action but criticized predictability.

  • OTTPlay: 2/5 - A “lost opportunity” with a thin storyline.

  • Times Now: 2/5 - A “Big-Budget Disappointment” focusing more on style than substance.

MediaFx Opinion: Style Over Substance, but Fans May Still Enjoy 🎥🧠

At MediaFx, we believe that Martin brings plenty of action-packed moments, but it struggles with a weak script. While Dhruva Sarja’s presence and the high-energy sequences are sure to please his fans, the lack of a compelling narrative and the over-the-top approach might not appeal to everyone. For those who love a visual spectacle, it’s worth a watch, but don’t expect deep storytelling.
