When I first came upon this film I was unsure if it would be any good, but I was astonished just how good this movie was. The two lead actors in the movie,Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons were incredible together. Apparently the movie took some fictional license to other parts of Ramanujan life, but essentially the important aspect of this movie, is his work with Hardy and time at trinity. The powerful aspect of this movie lies behind the facts that the theories are still being proven a century after they were first foretold

It's no "A Beautiful Mind", but it's OK. It could have been so much better - more involving, more emotional - but it felt like Dev Patel was just faxing it in again. Toby Jones and Jeremy Irons were doing their usual schtick. But the worst culprits were the script and direction - utterly sub-optimal - especially the Indian sequences, which felt ridiculously cartoony. Only worth watching if you've got nothing better to do.

The main attraction of this biopic is the superb acting of the main protagonists, played by Jeremy Irons and Dev Patel. Their evolving relationship, excitements, frustrations and anger are fascinating to watch. The supporting actors add an interesting second layer of context and commentary. The film is beautifully designed and shot on location in Cambridge and India. The Indian family background of Ramanujan is largely fictional, but it does help to explain his character, his motivations and struggles after the move to England. It's tempting to compare this to another recent biopic of a Cambridge mathematical genius, Stephen Hawking, in 'The theory of everything'. That may have been slightly better as a drama, but fell down for me on its cowardly lack of any real attempt explain the scientific insights that made the genius. Pure mathematics is an even tougher topic to depict for a broad audience, but the makers of 'Infinity' gave it a jolly good try without taking it too far.

Very impressive film and true story.. The end of the film presents the raw facts that beg someone to make a film about such a brilliant mind, from very humble beginnings. REALLY NOW... the guy who figures out the math behind a blackhole died shortly after going to London.... The story is very believable for that time, yet shocking when the full genius is considered.... I have recommended this movie to many people and professors. Thank you fellow IMBD for giving this film a fair rating.... otherwise I would not have watched it.... and that would have been a real loss.

This is not a biography but a inspiration. It could be said some are god gifted but no, it's what they do makes others think they are god gifted. An ultimate loss to the world. Watch the movie if you feel like alone.

Someone on line has expressed doubts whether Ramanujan really was beaten up by soldiers, suggesting that the episode was an invention of the director and added for effect. I would tend to agree, but can anyone tell us the truth? Even if a policeman was not on his beat nearby, I would have thought that in Cambridge some public-spirited citizen would have intervened. Anyway, would Tommies on leave really have acted that way? Were there similar incidents to give credibility?

This is a biopic of Srinivasa Ramunujan. Admittedly I never heard of him until I saw this film. It was of no surprise that once again Dev Patel is the smallest man in all of India as Ben Kingsley is getting old. Ramunujan goes to England on the eve of WWI, armed with books of formulas of his own making with little formal education. He impresses some while he draws the ire of others because he is Indian. As a geek, I found the film interesting. Another great performance by Dev Patel. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
