Oppenheimer gets Mixed Response in India - Here's Why
The main explanation is that the Nolan film is mainly a dialogue-driven drama. The talk takes up two-thirds of the movie. The indian people don't take this too well. The majority of the indian audience is action-hungry. They at least want some intriguing event to occur during the course of the movie. It's not our cup of tea to sit through more than 2 hours of dialogue in a 3-hour movie about a man (Robert Oppenheimer) who the great majority of spectators hardly know.
The onus was on the movie to perform in order to maintain the momentum, even though Nolan's reputation may have secured Oppenheimer openings and strong advance ticket sales. However, the film's lengthy and intricate drama and conversation segments have recently generated conflicting reviews. Now we just wait and watch how the movie will do over the weekend.
