Summing Up
It is clear that the love affair between India and Nolan is reciprocal. Indian cinephiles recently drove massive box-office turnouts for the Interstellar re-releases and packed theater halls for Oppenheimer, showcasing their fierce loyalty. Nolan, on the other hand, has made nods to India’s cinematic passion —- ranging from shooting portions of Tenet in Mumbai to granting Indian moviegoers exclusive, early access to premium IMAX ticket blocks for this very film.
