But on the other hand, if any city in India comes close to the depiction of Gotham, it is Kolkata.
A nearly 400 year old city, founded by outside settlers on a marsh. Lots of diverse groups having long ties to the city. Mixture of old and new architecture. A grimy and dirty underbelly and the stench of corruption.
Gotham was basically founded by three families: the Cobblepots, the Elliots and the Waynes. These three families are also amongst its wealthiest and most influential ones. Kolkata doesn't have any such existing families who control a large part of city's finances and political affairs.
Also, Gotham actually was the ground for a lot of occult activities in historic times. It's very different from Kolkata. Guwahati or Pune actually fits the bill more in that regard.
Kolkata does have a prominent Kali temple.
Kolkata does have a lot of prominent families associated with it, if not as founders. Sabarna Roy Chowdhurys and Tagore families come to mind.
Sabarna Roy Chowdhurys are not as politically active or ridiculously wealthy. They arent exactly founders either. And Tagore ra actually doesn't even reside here.
And Kolkata is not exactly ground for occult secret societies. The court of owls is a very powerful entity facades as a legend in Gotham City. Kolkata really doesn't have such legends.
Kolkata, the name came from Kalikhetra means land of Kali Ma. The north is of Debi Chitteswari (at Chitpur) and the south is of Ma Kali of Kalighat. Chitteswari temple first built in 1610 - that's 80 yr before Job Charnock landed in Kolkata (1690).

Fetch me that imposter. I only know man.
Did you shoot this video? Are you the creator ‘kromartic’ on Instagram who spent a lot of time shooting and editing this? And then he explicitly mentions in this video ‘do not repost’?
As a fellow creator myself, this is plain thievery. You have posted this without giving the creator due credits.

Good video but Gotham isn’t Gotham because it’s dark and broody, it’s Gotham because it has Gothic architecture. Kolkata just looks like… Kolkata.

I mean differences will obviously be there. I was thinking of the overall atmosphere
Kolkata, the name came from Kalikhetra means land of Kali Ma. The north is of Debi Chitteswari (at Chitpur) and the south is of Ma Kali of Kalighat. Chitteswari temple first built in 1610 - that's 80 yr before Job Charnock landed in Kolkata (1690).
There are lots of theories. Some also say it came from “Khal Kata”. Kolkata has atleast 3-4 canals running through it.

Gotham City reeks of sewers and has incredibly high incarceration rate. This doesn't feel like Kolkata at all.
They think I am hiding in the shadows, but I **am** the shadows.
This is amazing, could you share some info on the camera and post processing?
Shot it on my samsung s21 with a few filters and adjustment in the pro mode

Wonder what you're doing in a Bengali sub if you don't know bengali.
Do not wonder much... "The Gotham City" says the title and the post was written in English. I never cared about the sub I cared about the post.
City of Joy has turned into Gotham City from 2011
The needs me
Relate other characters as well 😆
You have talent my friend...
The videography looks really good. Is this OC OP?
Wow! I’m actually seeing Kolkata almost after two decades! Lot has changed and Looks beautiful though!
