Christopher Nolan’s epic fantasy action drama, The Odyssey, has stormed the Indian box office, collecting over ₹100 crore in its opening week and claiming the title of 2026’s highest-grossing Hollywood film in India. This achievement marks Nolan’s second entry into the ₹100 crore club in the country, following his success with Oppenheimer.
Building on his acclaimed directorial legacy, Nolan made a special effort to connect with Indian audiences, reportedly visiting India to promote The Odyssey. His efforts seem to have paid off, as moviegoers across the country have responded with immense enthusiasm, propelling the film to historic numbers. The Odyssey’s performance has also placed India among its top six international markets, alongside established territories such as the UK, France, Italy, Australia, and Germany.
The film has outperformed the previous sleeper hit, Obsession, at the Indian box office. With a phenomenal opening, The Odyssey is also tracking for a strong second weekend. However, this record may have a short shelf life, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to release next week, potentially shaking up the box-office landscape.
