Mumbai, Aug 2 (Ians) Actor Varun Tej’s upcoming Telugu film, ‘Gandeevadhari Arjuna’ is leaving no stone unturned to bring the style and elegance to the audience. The film, which is directed by Praveen Sattaru, features a vintage car, a 1969 Mustang Mach 1.
The car, named ‘Baby’, was used in a crucial sequence in the UK, and adds an interesting element to the action entertainer. It was the director’s idea to have the protagonist travel by a classic muscle car, and after extensive research, he chose the Mustang. He spent three months tracking down and acquiring the car from an 80-year-old man in the UK who had purchased it in his teens.
The car is said to play an important role in the film and has a lot of significance in the protagonist’s journey.

New Delhi, July 30 (Ians) For J. Robert Oppenheimer, the subject of Christopher Nolan’s biopic of the nuclear physicist regarded as the ‘Father of the Atomic Bomb, the Bhagavad Gita was a spiritual crutch, although his belief has been overshadowed by the scene in the film where he’s seen reading out the holy scripture in between having sex with his wife Kitty.
Even his translation of a seminal verse of the Gita, which was first red-flagged by historian James A. Hijiya in ‘The Gita of J. Robert Oppenheimer’, has been questioned by the author and mythologist Devdutt Pattnaik.
Nonetheless, Oppenheimer, who was raised in a non-observant Jewish family of New York, would unfailingly turn to the Gita and quote from it on many occasions.

Amidst global critical and commercial success, “Oppenheimer” and its director Christopher Nolan are being criticized in India over the use of the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita during a sex scene between J. Robert Oppenheimer and his one-time romantic partner Jean Tatlock.
In the scene, while taking a momentary break from sex, Tatlock (played by Florence Pugh) takes a look at the bookshelf in Oppenheimer’s bedroom and notes how the physicist (Cillian Murphy) knows many different languages. She pulls a copy of the Bhagavad Gita written in Sanskrit from the shelf and asks Oppenheimer to read it as they resume sex.
As she holds the book open and puts it in front of Oppenheimer, he reads the famous line “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds,” the scene that the real-life Oppenheimer famously said came to mind after his team successfully detonated a nuclear bomb in the Trinity test in New Mexico.

Christopher Nolan’s biopic ‘Oppenheimer’ is faring extremely well in Indian cinemas, going housefull over two weeks (in pre-booking), particularly in IMAX. However, the movie has become the target of controversy due to a scene involving J Robert Oppenheimer having sex with Tarot while she has him read a line from the Bhagavad Gita.
This has angered certain sections of people who believe in Hinduism greatly, with mythologist and writer, Devdutt Pattanaik stating that ‘Oppenheimer’ got the translation of the ‘I am become Death’ line wrong.
During the Manhattan Project, when he witnessed the very first nuclear explosion during the Trinity Test, he had quoted a verse from Gita to describe the mushroom cloud and the massive firepower he witnessed, which was used when Arjuna gave description of Krishna upon witnessing his full divine form.
The quote reads, “If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst into the sky,...

New Delhi, July 18 (Ians) With Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ gearing up for its theatrical release, interest in the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, also referred to as the ‘Father of the atom bomb’, has skyrocketed, especially his leaning towards Hinduism and his references to the Bhagavad Gita.
Oppenheimer and his team altered the course of human history during World War II with the Manhattan Project, which led to the creation of the first nuclear bomb in 1945.
Throughout the course of his life, particularly during the nuclear tests, Oppenheimer found a strong source of inspiration in the classical Hindu text, the Bhagavad Gita, to which he looked for many answers that helped shape his entire philosophy of life itself.
This was especially true, when faced with the enormity of his creation and the devastation it could unleash, the physicist cited the law of dharma or sacred duty from the Bhagavad Gita.

Giallo-inspired horror from Cullen Bunn and Arjuna Susini is available in comic book shops today in Lamentation #1, "the 48-page opening act of Bunn & Susini’s collision of supernatural terror and gothic suspense!" Whether it's The Phantom of the Opera or Dario Argento's Opera, I always love a good story set within a theatre, and Lamentation had me hooked from the very first few pages. In our latest Q&a, Cullen Bunn talks about the orgins of this story, working with Arjuna Susini, and teases what's to come:
It's been very exciting for me to check out Lamentation, which does an incredible job of evoking the best gialli while still feeling unique and fresh. How did the idea for this series come about?

Scholars have devoted tomes to it, politicians have waxed long about it, but it was an Urdu poet who furnished the most abiding, yet concise expression of the idea, history, and ethos of India. And that too in less than a dozen words – though with two compound formulations, while including his pen-name too: “Sarzameen-e-Hind par aqwam-e-alam ke ‘Firaq’ / Kafile baste gaye, Hindustan banta gaya.”
This composite and syncretic sentiment forms the bedrock of the poetry of Raghupati Sahai ‘Firaq Gorakhpuri’, considered among the foremost Urdu poets of all time, and one who enriched and further indigenised the tradition.
Equally fluent in Hindi and Urdu, Persian and Sanskrit, he incorporated elements from his deep, self-taught knowledge of the Vedic and Puranic ethos into his poetry.
If he could proclaim: “Meri ghutti mein padhi this ho ke hal Urdu zabaan/Jo bhi mein kehta gaya husn-e-bayan hota gaya”, he could also pen:...
