Christopher Nolan can easily be regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of cinema, and he is certainly the most impactful and superior director of this generation in world cinema.
If we have to draw parallels at whatever degree from Indian Cinema, then it would certainly be a hard fact that Rajamouli is the next best thing.
Luckily, we all got to see the visual brilliant of Christopher Nolan with his latest film Odyssey, which offered a breathtaking cinema experience to viewers. The kind of theatrical experience this film delivered is one of the best in recent times.
This was possible due to the crisp image that was generated in the IMAX filming format as this film was entirely shot with IMAX camera and is the first film in history to do so. The quality of the footage reflected in the digital print as well to some degree, which created a brilliant visual effect.
Now Rajamouli is doing something similar for his upcoming Varanasi as this film is also being shot in IMAX format entirely. The difference is that Varanasi is not being shot with IMAX cameras, but it will entirely feature IMAX ratio.
So whoever can access larger screen format and IMAX projection facilities will be in absolute treat for Varanasi. The kind of visual imagery that Rajamouli generally generates for his films will be elevated by this format.
This happens to be the most ambitious and visually compiling story from Rajamouli now, so he is expected to go all out as well.
The Indian audience could be witnessing footage that they could never have expected from an Indian film on the big screen. At the end of the day, Rajamouli is the closest thing that we have Christopher Nolan in Indian cinema, comments a social media user.
