Oppenheimer Sex scene in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, featuring Bhagvad Gita, irk netizens
Netizens were found irked by a scene in Christopher Nolan's latest released movie Oppenheimer where actor Cillian Murphy, who is portraying the titular character of physicist J Robert Oppenheimer, could be seen reading the Bhagavad Gita while having sex.
Several netizens to the scene and even criticised the Indian Censor Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) for allowing the retention of it in the movie.
Shame on India’s censor board for allowing this. Christopher Nolan is a typical Hollywood racist. He completely shut out all the Indian fighters in WWI movie and now he is making crude sexual references with Hinduism. Porno perverts from the West again exploit Hindu texts. https://t.co/qhiifzipNQ

A Twitter handle named Indian-Americans posted: "Absolutely disgusting. We are calling upon Hindus to boycott and protest this film! It has a scene associating the Gita with sex scene. India’s censor allowed it! They need to reverse this. They would never allow Quran or China to be shown like this."
