Oppenheimer helmed by Christopher Nolan and starring Cillian Murphy was released few days ago. The movie is doing well at the box office but there is a lot of criticism on this film. Many people are alleging that there are scenes in Oppenheimer that hurt the sentiments of Hindus. People are demanding to ban Oppenheimer. The Indian film maker Ram Gopal Varma aka RGV has been immensely generous towards Christopher Nolan’ magnum opus Oppenheimer in his series of tweets from Sunday.
Ram Gopal Varma tweeted: Irony is that an American nuclear scientist Oppenheimer read the BhagwadGeeta which I doubt even 0.0000001 % of Indians read.
Satya helmer Ram Gopal Varma’ tweet is in reference to a contentious scene in Oppenheimer, where J Robert Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy), known as ‘the father of the atomic bomb,’ is seen invoking a verse from the holy Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita immediately after an intimating scene with his girlfriend (essayed by Florence Pugh).
The s…x scene has angered the audience in India, many of whom vented their fury online, and called out Christopher Nolan for hurting religious sentiments.
There is a lot of discussion on this film Oppenheimer on social media. People are criticizing it and saying that how the makers use Bhagavad Gita in such scenes.
Irony is that an American nuclear scientist Oppenheimer read the BhagwadGeeta which I doubt even 0.0000001 % of Indians read
