Growing up poor in Madras, India, Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar earns admittance to Cambridge University during WWI, where he becomes a pioneer in mathematical theories with the guidance of his professor, G.H. Hardy.
This biographical drama beautifully intertwines mathematics with human struggle and triumph. Patel's portrayal of Srinivasa Ramanujan is both nuanced and compelling, making the complex subject matter accessible and emotionally resonant. The film not only shines a light on the genius of Ramanujan but also on the cultural and social barriers he had to overcome. The cinematography and score add depth to the narrative, making it a contemplative and inspiring watch.
