YouTuber and comedian Ashish Chanchlani attended an exclusive, invite-only Mumbai premiere of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and shared his reaction on social media. According to his posts and remarks, he describes the film as a “10/10,” saying there are no “boring” moments and that the experience benefits from watching it on a large screen in theaters. Chanchlani also calls the movie a “pure Matt Damon show,” adding that Damon’s presence dominates the film’s appeal. He highlights performances from other cast members including Zendaya, Tom Holland, and Robert Pattinson, and points to an “emotional” story centered on family themes such as a father-son relationship, as well as the bond between a couple and wider family dynamics.
He further characterizes The Odyssey as a blend of genres, combining action and thriller elements with horror and claiming it stays grounded and realistic despite featuring Greek gods, monsters, and witches. Chanchlani praises the film’s VFX for not feeling artificial and predicts strong audience turnout and box-office performance, commenting that tickets may be hard to get. He also responds to critics who previously suggested earlier Nolan films could feel boring.
