It’s an old habit of Bollywood to show Pakistan in a bad light in its movies. The latest example is the upcoming Indian action movie ‘Martin’.
The first teaser trailer of the jam-packed action movie Martin’ showed fight scenes, guns, explosions, and a giant prison facility in Islamabad, which they showed as the desert region of Pakistan; a desert region?
Directed by AP Arjun and produced by Uday K Mehta, the movie’s trailer has been widely criticized on social media for its blatant anti-Pakistan sentiment and its reliance on tired stereotypes.

Indian actor Dhruva Sarja stars as ‘Martin’ in the movie where his character is sent to a prison in Pakistan, where he proceeds to beat up every inmate, guard, janitor, or random prisoner taking a shower.
Be it Bajrangi Bhaijan or any other anti-Pakistani movie made in Bollywood, Pakistan is always shown as a desert in Indian movies.
Even in more recent years, Bollywood in the name of Independence Day had released nationalistic movies such as ‘BellBottom’ and ‘Shershaah’ which were more anti-Pakistan instead of patriotic movies.
