Cast: Abhinay Vaddi, Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Kevin McGowan, Bhama, Sarath Babu, Y Gee Mahendra, Abbas, Raja KrishnamoorthyDirection: Gnana RajasekaranGenre: BiographyDuration: 2 hours 49 minutes
Synopsis: A prodigious Indian mathematician has to overcome poverty and prejudices and make a mark with the help of his British mentor.
Movie Review: In the opening minutes of Ramanujan, we see the young Ramanujan posing a trick question to his mathematics teacher in school and embarrassing him. We then see him teach a thing or two about mathematics to a couple of priests in the temple, trigonometry to the college students staying in his house and helping out with the seemingly complicated time table of his school. With these few scenes, Gnana Rajasekaran spells out the genius of Ramanjuan (Abhinay) and the film from thereon, essentially resembles a journey the great man has to take towards the acknowledgement of his genius. This journey is predominantly marked by the three relationships that he forms — with his pushy mother Komalathammal (Suhasini), his diminutive wife Janaki ( Bhama) and the man who will be instrumental in the world coming to know of his prodigious talent, mathematician GH Hardy (McGowan).
Gnana Rajasekaran is no stranger to biopics, having made Bharathi and Periyar earlier but unlike those two personalities, whose firebrand nature and zeal for their ideals can easily be conveyed on film, his protagonist here is a tricky one.
