Some moviegoers in India are upset about the way Oppenheimer introduces that famous quote

[The following contains spoilers for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer]

In what is most likely the very first instance of “sexposition” in a Nolan movie, Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer first says the line while having sex with Florence Pugh’s Jean Tatlock. While in bed, she abruptly gets up and goes to his bookshelf, grabbing a book written in a language she doesn’t recognize—presumably the Bhagavad Gita—and asks him to read it while they continue having sex (feeding into his ego and the god complex he has over how smart he is).

Perhaps unsurprisingly, a vocal group on social media is not particularly thrilled about seeing someone read from a holy text during a sex scene, with Indian journalist (and founder of the Save Culture Save India Foundation) Uday Mahurkar calling it a “direct assault on religious beliefs of a billion tolerant Hindus” in an open letter addressed to Nolan. The post argues that Hollywood makes a point to be “very sensitive” about Islam and asks why “the same courtesy” can’t be extended to Hindus, and it says that if Nolan does not decide to remove the scene from the film, it will be taken as a “deliberate assault on Indian civilization.”

Variety says that Oppenheimer did receive a “U/A Certificate” from India’s Central Board Of Film Certification, which seems to be more or less the equivalent of a PG-13 rating. Variety also notes that Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut originally featured a song on the soundtrack with a line from the Bhagavad Gita during an orgy scene, but Warner Bros. later cut it out and issued a public apology.
