Ram Gopal Varma Mocks Indians’ Familiarity with Bhagavad Gita After Watching Oppenheimer

Christopher Nolan’s films often have an Indian connection. The Dark Knight Rises was extensively shot in India, and so was Tenet. In Interstellar, Nolan imagined a future where India is a highly advanced country with drones. His latest release, Oppenheimer, also features an Indian connection. In the film, there is a reference to the Hindu holy text Bhagavad Gita. This has intrigued many Indians, but it has also led to some controversy. One of the reasons for the controversy is that there is a sex scene in the film that features a quote from the Bhagavad Gita.

Some people have objected to the use of the quote in this context, arguing that it is disrespectful to the text. Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has taken a dig at these people, wondering how many of them have actually read the Bhagavad Gita. Varma is known for his controversial statements, and this is just one of the many he has made. Whether or not you agree with Varma, his statement has certainly sparked a discussion about the use of the Bhagavad Gita in Oppenheimer. 

The film is currently in theaters, and it will be interesting to see how the controversy plays out in the coming days. In the film, there is a scene where J. Robert Oppenheimer, the real-life scientist who developed the atomic bomb, is reciting a quote from the Bhagavad Gita.

The quote is from the second chapter of the Gita, and it reads: “If you do not fight, you will lose your kingdom, your people, and your honor.” In the context of the film, the quote is being used to justify Oppenheimer’s decision to develop the atomic bomb. Some people have objected to the use of the quote, arguing that it is disrespectful to the Bhagavad Gita. They argue that the Gita is a sacred text that should not be used to justify violence.
