If you dig deeper, “40 cinemas” is an exaggeration. The actual number is smaller and stranger.

Only about 25 to 30 screens on the entire planet can show The Odyssey the way Nolan actually shot it. And not one of them is in India.

Let me explain what’s happening; trust me, the tech here is genuinely wild.

The Odyssey is the first feature film in history shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras. Not a few scenes, like Oppenheimer or The Dark Knight. The whole movie.

Now, IMAX 70mm film is a monster.

A normal cinema shows you a digital file at 2K or 4K. IMAX 70mm film holds something like 16K to 18K worth of detail. The frame is nine times bigger than the 35mm film old movies were shot on. When it is projected properly, the image fills your whole vision, top to bottom, almost like a square.

One 70mm print of The Odyssey is about 11 miles of film. It weighs around 600 pounds. IMAX's own CEO said each print needs two platters and a dedicated team just to run it. And each print costs about 80,000 dollars to make.

They only struck around 30 prints for the entire world.

So this is not a software update you can push to every screen. It is a giant strip of physical film that has to be shipped, loaded, and babysat by trained people.

That is why so few theatres qualify.

To show it the true way, a cinema needs the real 15/70 film projector.

To help you understand a 15/70 film projector, 70 means the film is 70mm wide, much fatter than the normal 35mm strip old movies used. 15 means each frame is 15 sprocket holes long.

In a normal projector, film runs vertically, top to bottom.

In a 15/70 IMAX projector, the film runs sideways, horizontally. That sideways bit lets each frame be huge, about nine times the area of a 35mm frame.

That giant frame is where the 18K clarity comes from.

So the projector is basically a special horizontal film machine built to pull that oversized film through fast and steady.

As I said, the reel is 11 miles long and 600 pounds, so it uses two big rotating platters and needs a trained team to run it without tearing.

That is why so few exist. It is a rare, heavy, hard to maintain machine, and most cinemas switched to simple digital projectors years ago.

And wherever the projectors exist, a lot of them had not been switched on since Interstellar in 2014. One theatre in Las Vegas had to pull theirs out of storage, and IMAX sent technicians to certify the booth.

They even had to buy two humidifiers at 16,000 dollars each. The film has to stay soft and moist or it cracks while running.

Most of these screens are in America, around 24 to 25 of them. A few in Canada. London has the BFI IMAX and the Science Museum. That is basically it.

India has zero.

We have plenty of IMAX screens, but they are all the digital laser kind. Very good, but still a translation of the original. The top and bottom of Nolan's image gets cropped away, and the 18K film detail becomes a 4K file.

So as an Indian fan buying an IMAX ticket for this is seeing maybe 40 percent of the frame Nolan built.

Imagine, we are the biggest film-watching country on Earth. We make more films than anyone. We sell more tickets than anyone.

And we cannot show the most ambitious film of the decade in its real format, because nobody here invested in keeping one 70mm projector.

This is not about Nolan to be honest. It is just about being a serious film country that does not have one room capable of the highest end of the craft.

South Korea has one. It is in the list of places that got certified. We did not make the cut.

If you actually want to see this the right way, the honest answer is you have to fly. London is the closest true 70mm IMAX to India.

For everyone else, the digital IMAX here will still look great. Just know it is the postcard, not the painting.

Sad that we are a country that lives and breathes cinema, and we have that one film built to be seen at the absolute limit of the format, but the nearest seat that does it justice to the movie is in London. :)

जिस इन्वेस्टर समिट पर धामी सरकार ने 100 करोड़ खर्च किए थे, उनकी इन्वेस्टर्स लिस्ट में आटा चक्की खाद-बीज के दुकान का पता मिलाः रिपोर्ट

2023 में उत्तराखंड में हुए ग्लोबल इन्वेस्टर समिट को लेकर न्यूजलॉउंड्री ने एक इंवेस्टिगेटिव रिपोर्ट में बड़ा खुलासा किया है

2023 में उत्तराखंड सरकार द्वारा आयोजित ग्लोबल इन्वेस्टर समिट में राज्य सरकार ने 1,779 MoUs के जरिए ₹3.56 लाख करोड़ के निवेश का दावा किया गया था। CM धामी के लंदन-दुबई समेत कई शहरों के रोडशो और समिट के आयोजन पर करीब ₹100 करोड़ रुपये खर्च किए गए थे।

2025 में धामी सरकार ने ₹1 लाख करोड़ के इन्वेस्टमेंट के ग्राउंडेड होने मतलब जमीन पर उतरने का दावा भी किया था। लेकिन न्यूजलॉउंड्री की जांच में पता चला कि इसमें छोटे कारोबारियों को बिना उनकी जानकारी के शामिल कर दिया गया है- कई आटा चक्की, खाद-बीज की दुकानें और छोटी क्लिनिक्स भी “निवेशक” बन गए।

कुल ग्राउंडेड इनवेस्टमेंट का 35% सिर्फ UJVNL और THDCIL जैसी सरकारी पावर कंपनियों के प्रोजेक्ट्स से आया। आठ सबसे बड़े प्रोजेक्ट्स में से आठ PSU या सरकारी संस्थाओं से जुड़े थे।

कई कंपनियों के नाम पर सैकड़ों करोड़ के निवेश दिखाए गए, लेकिन ज्यादातर प्रोजेक्ट बंद पड़े थे, रद्द हो गए या सिर्फ कुछ करोड़ ही खर्च हुए।

इस मामले पर उद्योग विभाग ने कहा कि छोटे निवेशकों और सरकारी प्रोजेक्ट्स को शामिल किया गया क्योंकि वे रोजगार देते हैं। CSR फंडिंग को भी राज्य की उपलब्धि बताया। कई हाई-प्रोफाइल MoUs मीडिया में छाए, लेकिन ग्राउंडिंग लिस्ट में जगह नहीं बना सके।

Dainik Bhaskar reports a scam of ₹1,160 Cr by Madhya Pradesh govt.

Officials allegedly sold fortified govt rice bought at ₹4,000/quintal to ethanol plants for ₹2,320.

Ethanol plants allegedly resold it to rice mills for ₹2,800, and bought broken rice for ₹2,100 for ethanol production.

The mills then allegedly supplied the same fortified rice back to the govt as freshly milled stock while selling the original paddy in the open market.

They allegedly did this with 50 lakh quintals of govt rice!
