Barbenheimer turn 1: Here's where you can watch Oppenheimer and Barbie on streaming in India

2023 was, in many ways, a return to cinema for the world. But for the West, aka Hollywood, it was a wildly iconic one. It was a year when many of the maverick filmmakers of our times gathered to release their films and have the audience flood the theatres yet again. This felt reassuring to the world because we had spent almost three years in the lockdown imposed by the pandemic on us. One of the most iconic dates was July 21, and rightly so. 

You ask why? Well, it is the day when we witnessed one of the biggest box office battles of the decade where Christopher Nolan was clashing with Greta Gerwig. Yes, we are talking about Barbenheimer, aka the battle between Barbie and Oppenheimer. It is a year to the battle, and we are now celebrating the drama they brought for us on the big screen and continue to on streaming.

For the unversed, both Oppenheimer and Barbie clashed at the box office last year as both Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie starrers opened on the same day July 21, 2023. It was pitched as the biggest box office clash in years. While Barbie went on to earn over a billion dollars at the global box office, Oppenheimer fell behind but was still a massive success. So today, as we continue to celebrate the two movies, let's see where they are available on streaming. Read on to learn everything you should know about the same.

Oppenheimer on OTT

Christopher Nolan made his most ambitious movie with Oppenheimer, a biopic about the Father of the Atomic Bomb. The movie explored the life of Robert J. Oppenheimer and what led to the charges that were put against him. The biopic was hailed for its technical and cinematic brilliance and the writing that was immersive and thought-provoking. The film has a massive ensemble with Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Josh Hartnett, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, Rami Malek, and others. On streaming in India, the movie is available on JioCinema. The film is also available on Zee5 for rent.

Barbie on OTT

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie was a hardcore feminist tale. It wasn't about the traditional doll in a traditional way, but about everything that was wrong with and around her. Greta looked at the world of Barbie and found out so many oppressive things in the way she was presented. The movie wasn't subtle, but with us enjoying machismo in full throttle, there was nothing wrong with how Barbie was approached. The movie stars a big ensemble, including Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Emma Mackey, America Ferrera, Issa Rae, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and others. On streaming, Barbie is available on JioCinema in India.
