Martin is a high voltage Kannada action thriller which can applauded and put to good use for several reasons.

The movie starts off in Islamabad Pakistan, which has a prison filled with all the MMA wrestlers of the world.

While the entire North India is trying to make Hindi as the only spoken language of India, AP Arjun has gone and imposed Kannada in Pakistan.

And for that reason he deserves a lot of accolades.

So the MMA wrestlers, the cabbies, the shopkeepers and even the doctors and cops all speak Kannada in Islamabad and those who do speak Hindi, do so with a Kannada accent. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

And here we are introduced to the Hero of the movie.

If he walks like a pig, if he talks like a pig, if he grunts like a pig, it doesn’t have to be a pig, it can be Dhruva Sarja….the Action Prince.

So Dhruv Sarja plays the part of Martin, an International Gangster who has “Indian” tattooed on his arm who has the strength of ten elephants (not my words).

Basically he looks like he did go to a gym once upon a time but then too much idli wada sambar made him roly poly.

So the roly poly gangster goes about kicking butts of everyone, while romancing nubile beauties whose all leather wardrobes seem to be designed by “BDSM Dungeons R Us”.

And then there is an IRS custom officer named Arjun who is out to get Martin.

But wait a minute Arjun is also played by Dhruv Sarja.

So when he grunts like a pig he is Martin and when he doesn’t he is Arjun.

Then there are a lot of stunts with cars and people and containers flying all over the place.

I mean, there is so much flying around that Rohit Shetty might watch this movie and say “Okay stop this earth I need to get off it”.

Imagine, this movie can actually be used to help Rohit Shetty stop making rubbish.

The BGM can be put to good use too.

Imagine you come home late at night and your society security guard is sleeping. Just play this BGM near his ears and he will crap his pants and never sleep again.

And finally we come to the performances.

Dhruv Sarja, grunting or not, has put in a performance which can be used in dangerous circumstances.

Like if you are in a traffic jam, all you have to do is get out of the car and start going like “grunt grunt grunt grunt haa hoooo heyyyy grunt” and they will quickly put you in an ambulance headed to the nearest hospital. Beats the traffic any time of the day.

Like they say, nothing is completely useless, some things that are not useful can still be used as examples for “useless”

Martin is that kind of a movie.

The movie is available in multiple languages with English subtitles and Martin says “Who Am I” in all of them.

#DaMoRating: 10/10

Disclaimer: The rating is purely based on the usefulness of the movie and not the movie itself. Infact this movie should be in the Limca Book of Chamka Records for “This is so bad, it’s actually good” kind of a movie. 🤪🤪
