Nolan spoke about how he wanted an Indian premiere for Tenet, saying, “We actually intended to come with Tenet originally, because we filmed here in Mumbai, and then because of the pandemic, we weren't able to. And so finally we're actually able to (do so with The Odyssey). It's a thrill. We wanted to do this for a year.”“There really was a sense that this movie is a love letter to cinema, and therefore to our audiences. I think feeling that pressure on a daily basis was really exciting, and in some circumstances, pressure is a privilege,” said Holland during the premiere, adding, “You'll get to feel the heartache that Matt portrays so well. You'll get to feel the longing of Anne Hathaway's Penelope... People will watch this movie and feel a sense of connection to Chris' work and our work that feels really unique and profound.”The Odyssey received rave reviews from the audience after its Indian premiere. It remains to be seen how it fares upon its release.Despite having a Master's degree in Journalism and over a decade of experience in print and digital media as a field reporter and sub-editor at organisations such as The Times of India and Reader's Digest, Neeshita Nyayapati remains a movie buff first and a Chief Content Producer second. She fell in love with movies in childhood and believes nothing matches the magic of watching a good film that moves you with a warm tub of popcorn in hand. Her love for writing about cinema follows that.
