Amitabh Bachchan reviews James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water: ‘I think many failed to understand the philosophy behind the story’

James Cameron’s latest directorial offering Avatar: The Way of Water, a sequel to his 2009 blockbuster Avatar, has set the global box office on fire. The film, starring Kerry Washington and Sam Worthington in lead roles, has been performing exceptionally well around the world, including in India. Several Indian celebrities have showered praises on the film ever since it hit cinemas on December 18, 2022. The latest celebrity that has been bowled over by the sheer brilliance of the film is none other than megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

Senior Bachchan recently watched Avatar: The Way of Water and could not stop praising the film. He took to his blog and penned a glowing review for the high-profile film.


“AVATAR, the water matter was seen and many differing opinions came about… Many felt its length was too long and others could not wait till the end… but failed, I think, to understand the philosophy behind the story... DO NOT MESS WITH NATURE... FOR IT SHALL TAKE ITS REVENGE!” wrote the veteran actor.

Emphasizing the importance of the element of water, the thespian wrote, “The Lion shall ever remember the thorn that Androcles removed from his paw in pain... and come to its rescue when in distress... So too the wild of the water Oceans... so too the fact that WATER be the most important element of our existence…We were born in water and shall be brought to an end in water too.”

Talking about the length of the film, director James Cameron had earlier told a publication, “I don't want anybody whining about length when they sit and binge-watch (television) for eight hours. I can almost write this part of the review. 'The agonizingly long three-hour movie'... It's like, give me a f******break. I've watched my kids sit and do five one-hour episodes in a row. Here's the big social paradigm shift that has to happen, it's okay to get up and go pee.”

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has once again touched down in France for the Cannes Film Festival, and this time, as always, her daughter Aaradhya is by her side.

A video of their arrival, now circulating widely online, captures Aishwarya chatting warmly with a greeter who hands a gift to Aaradhya before they head off.

Clad in a navy blue trench coat, Aishwarya kept it simple yet elegant. Aaradhya wore an all-black outfit and seemed at ease, exchanging smiles and laughter during the brief encounter at the airport. Despite recent speculation about whether Aishwarya would attend Cannes this year, especially after a video of her dancing with husband Abhishek Bachchan at a wedding in Mumbai, her airport appearance has laid all doubts to rest.

The news was revealed in true British fashion with a town crier in a video posted on Peppa Pig’s official Instagram. The announcement, styled like a royal birth, sent fans and brands into a frenzy. Mummy Pig is said to have named the baby after her great-aunt, and while the birth was not easy, she shared that she is relieved and happy to have Evie here, safe and healthy.

Can the £3.15 billion 'Harry Potter reboot' become the most expensive TV show ever?

The next time you think of a big-budget show, forget Game of Thrones or The Rings of Power. The new Harry Potter reboot is set to leave them all behind and not just in storytelling, but in cost. With a jaw-dropping budget of over $4.2 billion (₹33,600 crore), this upcoming series is on track to be the most expensive television production ever attempted.

Each of the 42 planned episodes, spread across seven seasons, will reportedly cost more than $100 million (₹837 crore). That’s more than many Marvel movies and nearly double the per-episode spend of Amazon’s The Rings of Power. But where is all that money going?
