Ramanujan (2014)

    8/10
    A good attempt on the life of Ramanujan which could've been a cult classic
    The acting of lead actors are laudable but its the screenplay which is lagging. Many parts of the movie is not chained well which actually creates some confusion. It all lies in how a story is presented on screen. Only in this part, did the director fails but succeeds in bringing the much needed biopic on the genius child of mathematics - Srinivasan Ramanujan.

    It is a very good attempt and must watch for all those who wish to know about this genius from Kumbakonam.

    Music is a great plus in this movie. No unwanted stuffs are delivered.

    Great journey to say! Although flawed, it looks beautiful!
