Dhruva Sarja's Martin continues to experience a decline at the box office, prompting the makers to release the full video of the film's special number, "Jasmine," featuring Giorgia Andriani. The song, choreographed by Imran Sardhariya, has faced criticism for its objectification of women and explicit content.
Reviewers and audiences have called out the song for its skimpy outfits and suggestive dance moves, labeling it unsuitable for family viewing. Additionally, Dhruva Sarja has faced backlash for contradicting his claims of maintaining family-friendly content in his films.
Despite opening to largely negative reviews, the film's team has taken a defensive stance, targeting YouTube reviewers with copyright strikes and legal notices for posting unfavorable reviews. The makers claim Martin is a success, citing pre-release deals covering a significant portion of the Rs 100-120 crore budget.
However, box office trackers report modest collections of around Rs 20-25 crore net, sparking concerns about the film's overall performance. The controversy surrounding "Jasmine" and the team's response to negative reviews have further marred Martin's reputation.
