Oppenheimer box office collection Day 2: Christopher Nolan film keeps cash registers ringing, earns Rs 31.5 crore in two days

Internationally, Oppenheimer is facing tough competition against Greta Gerwig’s Barbie but so far, the Indian market is favouring Nolan’s film as Barbie’s first two day collection here stands at Rs 11.50 crore.

Oppenheimer portrays the life of theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer, who was appointed by Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves during World War II to lead the Manhattan Project. He was the leader of the team of scientists behind the creation of the world’s first atomic bombs.

Starring Cillian Murphy as J Robert Oppenheimer, the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, and Matt Damon in pivotal roles.

Critics have lavished praise on Oppenheimer, with The Indian Express critic Shalini Langer giving it 4.5 stars and stating, “Nolan isn’t attempting to dazzle with high-concept science in Oppenheimer, focusing less on the technicalities of fusion and fission, uranium and plutonium, and more on delving into the inner universe of the man who would become the father of the atom bomb.”
