During the hearing, the judge repeatedly questioned how the petitioner could claim reservation by declaring an annual income of ₹40,000 when investigators alleged her family’s annual income was about ₹30 lakh. “Prima facie, this appears to be a case of fraud,” Justice Nagaprasanna observed. “You have taken away the opportunity meant for a poor candidate.

3 min readMumbaiUpdated: Jul 10, 2026 06:17 PM IST Three years ago, when Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer released in India, many moviegoers were caught off guard by a noticeable alteration in one of its scenes. During a sequence featuring Florence Pugh, the actor, who appears nude in the original version, was digitally covered with a CGI-generated black dress in the Indian theatrical print. The change, reportedly made by Warner Bros. Discovery and the filmmakers as a voluntary measure to avoid potential issues with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), sparked widespread discussion among fans over what was seen as an instance of self-censorship. This time, however, Nolan’s latest film, The Odyssey, appears to have escaped a similar fate. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC has cleared The Odyssey without asking for a single cut or modification. No scene or dialogue has reportedly been altered, meaning Indian audiences are expected to watch the same version being screened internationally, provided the studio has not undertaken any voluntary edits for the Indian release.
