Tarantino regulars Kurt Russell, Tim Roth and Michael Madsen are also seen in supporting roles.  Burt Reynolds  was originally set to portray George Spahn, but Dern had to take over the role following the former’s death in September 2018. It had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Here's what we said : “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood brims with the kind of palpable love for cinema that only a passionate cinephile like Quentin Tarantino can bring on screen. It uses cinematic and pop-culture mythology for a magical imitation of reality. It is a celebration of the kind of films that first inspired Tarantino himself as a child.” The film, which has already released in North America, raked in $41 million on its opening day, writes  CNN. It is Tarantino’s highest grossing film after Inglorious Basterds ($38 million). The film’s soundtrack was also released on all streaming platforms and has the works of Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Diamond and Deep Purple. The film was initially scheduled to hit Indian theatres on 9 August, but has now clinched the coveted  Independence day holiday release . It will be competing against Akshay Kumar’s space drama  _Mission Mangal_  and John Abraham’s action thriller  Batla House .
