The Odyssey Vs Oppenheimer
Nolan's last release, Oppenheimer, had taken an opening of Rs. 14.50 crore net at the box office in India. So, for now, we can expect that The Odyssey will get a better response on the first day.
The lifetime collection of the 2023 release in India was Rs. 131.73 crore net. So, let's wait and watch whether The Odyssey will be able to surpass the lifetime collection of Oppenheimer or not.
