Dhruva Sarja's Martin, made on a massive budget of over ₹100 crores, needed a strong box office performance to break even. Despite a good opening fueled by the actor's fan base, the film crashed due to overwhelmingly negative reviews.
After its theatrical run, Martin surprisingly dropped on Amazon Prime Video for US and UK viewers, contrary to earlier reports suggesting Zee Network had acquired the rights. Now, the film is available on Prime Video as well as aha.
Prime Video and aha holds the film's streaming rights and the film is now streaming. Meanwhile, Zee Kannada secured the satellite rights for the Kannada version.
Martin's overseas OTT release has reignited criticism, with viewers sharing cringe-worthy scenes and sympathizing with those who watched it in theaters. Based on Action King Arjun Sarja's story, Martin features Dhruva in a double role as customs officer Arjun and gangster Martin, with a cat-and-mouse chase driving the narrative.
