The movie doesnt fully capture the ingenuity of Ramanujam. But thats not what the movie is about. It explores the human aspect of Ramanujams life. The friendships. family. love. God Got a feeling of pride to see Hollywood paying tribute to the great Indian mathematician & really a proud to be an Indian movie .of the unknown mathematician genius called S Ramanujan .way back during pre independence days.
Ramanujans struggle of being held back because of expectations was well portrayed by Dev Patel. The friendship between him and Dr.Hardy could have been better developed though. Its all about intuitive messages acceptance by God by Dr. Ramanujan. Great Matamatician who gave world formulea never thought about and resolution by intution and reasoning. A salute to u! He is surely an inspiration. Everyone please watch the movie its the best thing to do this summer.
And make sure you take ur young kids with you coz this film has all that ur children need to explore in the field of science.We have had Bhagat Singhs/ Mangal Pandeys/ Mary Kom/ Milkha and Neerja but this untold and forgotten real life story is an apt tribute to the genius, we and the world had. Dev does a remarkable job as Ramanujan and matches the veteran, Jeremy Irons. The newcomer "wife" acted well as the simmering bride who never erupts. Indians can do so much more. proud to be one . go and watch it . dev patels acting, the direction, music, and the real life story. amazing.
