TL;DR Summary

Hindu nationalists in India are calling for a boycott and removal of a sex scene in Christopher Nolan's film "Oppenheimer," which depicts actor Cillian Murphy having sex with Florence Pugh while she asks him to read from the Bhagavad Gita. Some right-wing groups have accused the scene of being a "disturbing attack on Hinduism" and part of a larger conspiracy. Despite the controversy, the film has been well-received in India, grossing over $3 million in its opening weekend. This is not the first time Hindu-right groups have taken offense to portrayals of Hinduism in media, with previous instances leading to boycotts and forced removals.
