After a long wait, a huge global cinematic phenomenon is set to arrive with Avatar: Fire and Ash, releasing on December 19. Built on the philosophy of incarnation, James Cameron’s Avatar has always been a journey of spiritual reflection, and with the film releasing its Devanagari version in Kashi, the vision comes beautifully full circle.

Taking to social media, the makers shared a video of Sukumar reviewing the film. They captioned the post: "Master of mass himself, Sukumar describes his journey into the world of Pandora and it was pure fire."

Sukumar calls the film immersive
Speaking about his experience of entering the world of Pandora, Sukumar said, "James Cameron is from Pandora. For directors, he is an Avatar; we are just humans. Telling a story so powerfully in science fiction is extremely difficult. I feel the entire family can come and watch it together. It’s a complete entertainer. Three hours and seventeen minutes just flew away. I watched it alone, but didn’t feel alone. I felt like I had gone to Pandora, like I was in a different world. I didn’t even notice who was around me or who wasn’t. It’s an absolute blockbuster.
He mentioned the strong emotional impact the film had on him and compared it to Telugu films, saying, "It has as much emotion as a Telugu film, every frame has so much emotion. The emotion between the characters is always flowing. The main characters like Jake, or Neyitri, or Varang, and these are all characters, and Spider… I was continuously immersing myself in these characters. At some moments, my eyes were filled with tears; this is what a theatre experience truly is, this is the movie.
Ending with gratitude, he said, "We cannot watch James Cameron movies on TV, the visuals won’t be sufficient unless it’s on such a big screen. This experience we won’t get anywhere else but only in a theatre. So, for giving such a wonderful feast to the theatre, we are very thankful to James Cameron. Thank you, thank you very much."
