The Odissi India Premiere Live: Ashish Chanchlani shares love for the film

YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani shared a post on X and expressed his love for Nolan’s The Odyssey. Chanchlani, who watched the film in theatres, wrote, “I loved #TheOdissi
It’s gorgeous, it’s epic and surprisingly it’s also scary. A first for Nolan. He has made sure to present a story about Greek gods, magic and witches with as much realism as possible and that is why he is one of the greatest filmmakers of our time. Narratively Odissi is a film about karma. I believe Matt Damon gives the best performance of his career in this film and solidifies his position as one of Hollywood’s best leading actors. i love her so much man
And please someone give Pattinson more villainous roles, he is absolutely great at it, the range he has now is admirable. Odyssey is a surefire blockbuster that is relentless and has countless epic set pieces one of which is horror and has immense replay value. This is Nolan’s manga um creation. It will be a superhit in Hindi also because it is commercially strong. I’m watching it again tonight.”
