Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' and Great Gerwig's 'Barbie' released in theatres together on July 21 across the world. While 'Barbie' took a lead at the box office worldwide, in India 'Oppenheimer' was the clear winner. Even as the 'Barbenheimer' craze has slowed down at the box office, 'Oppenheimer' is slowly inching towards Rs 100 crore at the Indian box office. 

Christopher Nolan's film starring Cillian Murphy, known as the father of the atomic bomb J Robert Oppenheimer, now stands at ₹92 crore nett. The film has been embroiled in controversy in India after it was called out by some on social media for a sex scene in which Cillian Murphy reads out a Sanskrit quote from Bhagavad Gita (without showing the book's cover). Despite the resistance, the film has been doing well in India.
