Why are Indians so obsessed with Christopher Nolan?

Has he made great films? Sure. TDK and Dunkirk are amazing.

But his films, while technically superb and very ambitious, have tons of flaws- they do so much right, but they all also do plenty of stuff wrong- somewhat lacklustre emotional content, forgettable characters esp. female characters (Heath Ledger’s Joker was an anomaly), plots with reach that exceeds their grasp, storytelling weaknesses concealed through non-linear sleight of hand or impressive sounding mumbo-jumbo.

But Indians often hold him up as this ultra-gold standard, Jesus’s second coming.

He is a very good filmmaker- but there are other filmmakers to be obsessed with.
