I'm so excited for this premiere! But I wish they'd also screen smaller indie films from India in such events. Anyway, can't wait to see Tom Holland in Mumbai — hope he tries some vada pav! 😄
Christopher Nolan making a mythic epic based on Homer? This is going to be legendary. The cast is insane — Zendaya as Athena? Robert Pattinson as Antinous? I'm already planning my IMAX ticket booking strategy. 😅
As someone who lived in Mumbai for a few years, this is amazing. But honestly, PVR Icon at Phoenix Palladium is a great choice — best IMAX screen in the city. Hope the team enjoys Indian hospitality. 🇮🇳
I love Nolan, but I wish he'd release a film in India concurrently with the US premiere instead of just a premiere event here. Still, respect for choosing Mumbai — it's a sign of how big the Indian market has become. 🎬
'The Odyssey' with no green screen — that's dedication. Matt Damon's comment about it being the hardest movie he's ever made really shows how Nolan pushes boundaries. Hope Tom Holland gets mobbed by fans in a good way! 😂
