The ticket sale is majorly driven by Karnataka, where Martin has sold tickets worth 1.07 crores gross, including 42,000+ admits. It is followed by Telangana with a sale worth 2 lakh gross. Among cities, Bengaluru is at the top with a sale of over 29,000 tickets, which equals a collection of 0.78 crore gross for day 1.
While the overall number looks good, it’s still less for a double-digit start. Let’s see if the film picks up more pace by the evening.
Meanwhile, Martin also stars Vaibhavi Shandilya, Anveshi Jain, Sukrutha Wagle, and Nikitin Dheer in key roles. It is bankrolled by Vasavi Enterprises and Uday K Mehta Productions.
