Hero reads Bhagavadgita while making love

Christopher Nolan’s biopic ‘Oppenheimer’ has received widespread acclaim worldwide, focusing on the life of American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. The film delves into Oppenheimer’s role as the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during the Manhattan Project.

Prior to the film’s release, Nolan revealed that there were intimate scenes involving Cillian Murphy that had to be removed to cater to the Indian audience. However, the film faced controversy when the Censor Board of Film Certification retained a scene where Murphy reads Bhagavadgita while making love with Florence Pugh. It has resulted in multiple debates on social media.

Cillian Murphy’s portrayal of Oppenheimer has been praised by audiences and critics alike, showcasing his talent in the lead role. Actress Florence Pugh, who plays Oppenheimer’s ex-wife Jean Tatlock, also received accolades for her performance.

Despite the discussions surrounding the censoring decisions, ‘Oppenheimer’ has been met with positive reviews and continues to receive praise.

Inspired by the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography ‘American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer’ by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin, the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Rami Malek, and more.

‘Oppenheimer’ was released in theaters on July 21, 2023, and has become a hit among audiences.
