Speaking at the New York City premiere of ‘The Odyssey’, Hathaway explained why she recently described her pregnancy as a “buzzer-beater” during an appearance on ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’. “There’s always hope until there’s not, but when you get to a certain age, that hope looks like 1 per cent to 2 per cent,” Hathaway said. “So we just decided to see where life took us, with a very, very healthy, realistic expectation, which was very low,” she added. The Oscar-winning actor said she and her family are deeply grateful for the pregnancy.

This scene from Greek epic The Odyssey reminds audience of Ramayana: ‘Christopher Nolan says Jai Shri Ram’

Published by Parlour News

Filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Greek epic, The Odyssey, was released in theatres this Friday to rave reviews from the audience and critics alike. While the film might be based on Homer’s work, for Indian fans, it means much more. They couldn’t help but notice the parallels with Valmiki’s Ramayana, especially in this key scene. (*Spoilers ahead*) Anne Hathaway and Ranbir Kapoor in stills from The Odyssey and Ramayana. The Odyssey scene everyone’s talking about During the climax of The Odyssey, Penelope (Anne Hathaway) is willing to finally select a suitor, but only if they pass the test she has set for them. The suitors must not just string a bow that only her husband, Odysseus (Matt Damon), has been able to, but they must also fire an arrow through 12 axe heads to win her in marriage. While this scene is a setup for something far more than it seems on the surface, it was hard for the Indian audience not to draw parallels to Sita’s swayamvar. Audience compare The Odyssey scene to Ramayana Since its …

The Odyssey: Watching Christopher Nolan’s latest epic in a houseful Indian theatre with pin-drop silence

“Bhagwaan ki marzi ke aage kisi ki nahi chalti“… but fortune also favors the brave. Few films embody that idea better than Christopher Nolan’s spectacular adaptation of Homer’s Greek epic The Odyssey. A still from The Odyssey. Fortune also occasionally grants moviegoers the perfect theatrical experience: a packed house, phones tucked away, no chatter, no interruptions- just hundreds of people held in pin-drop silence for nearly three hours. Watching The Odyssey in that atmosphere only reinforced a question that lingers long after the credits roll: what drives someone who has already reached the absolute pinnacle of filmmaking to keep aiming even higher? To conceive a film like The Odyssey- and to believe you can pull it off- is an ambition that borders on madness. Christopher Nolan doesn’t just embrace that madness; he transforms it into one of the most audacious cinematic spectacles of his career. Nolan’s screenplay takes great care not to burden viewers with any prior knowledge of Homer’s The Odyssey. You don’t need to have read the epic, or even be familiar with …

Published by Parlour News

6 min readJul 17, 2026 01:55 PM IST All the ado about Homerian characters saying “Mom”, “Dad” and “F..k” can be laid to rest. Those are but minor updates to the late 8th or early 7th century BC epic The Odyssey (emerging from oral traditions going back even further) by writer-director Christopher Nolan. In the film, the gods are largely inconsequential (barring a scowling, floating in-and-out Athena), real heroes are decided by free will, women are firmly – and sometimes fiercely – feminist, and the shifty, cunning Odysseus of the epic is a man defined almost entirely by guilt that befits a quintessential Nolan lead. That said, the latest film by the auteur is nothing but impressive. We know about the shot-entirely-in-IMAX ambition, and the massive $250 million budget. However, Nolan employs it in the service of a story that never grows old, and has never seemed as modern, in both its pursuit of home and the transience of it. The parallel, weaving narratives of the epic, comprising 24 poems in all, suit him well, …

Christopher Nolan’s action adventure fantasy epic The Odyssey had India as a pitstop on its global tour last week. It makes sense at multiple levels, since culturally, the story adapted from Homer’s ancient Greek text have certain striking parallels to the Indian epic, Ramayana. The similarities range from the primary character journey of homecoming as well as a very crucial motif associated with Rama. Homecoming At their core, both Odyssey and Ramayana are stories of homecoming. The former traces the 25-year journey of King Odysseus (played by Matt Damon in The Odyssey) back to his kingdom of Ithaca. After conquering Troy in the Trojan war, he undertakes a long, gruelling voyage back home with his army, facing mythical obstacles as well as logistical nightmares. These include a Cyclops in the cave, getting chased away by a larger and superior race, encountering a deceptive witch, shortage of food supplies, being stranded on an island because of unfavourable wind for days, as well as turbulent storms unleashed by Zeus, the Greek god of thunder. At long last, …
