Fri Nov 15 20:28:46 IST 2024: ## Kannada Action Thriller “Martin” Flops at Box Office, Finds New Life on Amazon Prime Video

**Bangalore, November 15, 2024** – “Martin,” a highly anticipated Kannada action thriller starring Dhuv Sarja, has met with a disappointing fate at the box office but found a new lease on life with its recent release on Amazon Prime Video.

The film, touted as a “K.G.F.”-style action extravaganza, boasted a massive budget of 120 crores and featured a compelling storyline penned by veteran actor Arjun. Pre-release buzz was high thanks to impressive posters, teasers, and trailers, generating expectations of a blockbuster hit.

However, despite its grand release on October 11th, “Martin” received a negative reception from audiences, who found the film lacking in originality and criticized its reliance on excessive action. The film’s underwhelming performance at the box office, with estimated earnings of just 25 crores across five languages, confirmed its box-office failure.

Despite the disappointment, “Martin” has found a new audience on Amazon Prime Video, which acquired the digital streaming rights. The film is now available for streaming in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, offering audiences a chance to judge for themselves if the film lives up to its hype.

“Martin” also features a star-studded cast including Vaibhavi Shandilya, Anveshi Jain, Achyuth Kumar, Chikkanna, and Prathap Narayan. The film’s soundtrack was composed by renowned composer Ravi Basrur, known for his work on “K.G.F.”

While “Martin” may have fallen short at the box office, its arrival on Amazon Prime Video gives the film a chance to reach a broader audience and potentially earn back some of its lost investment.
