I saw Dev Patel in it...not Ramanujan. It could have been but certainly no where near caliber of Good Will Hunting or A Beautiful Mind.... Just because a movie is set in India doesn't automatically make it good (as a South East Asian). Many are sympathetic because of it. The directors could have taken it to so many different angles... For instance, did you know the history behind the partition formula? But no, it had to make some generic biopic, Hollywood asumming that audience may not have braincells and need a story to be dumbed down. If you are math nerd, you will be disappointed. I watched it a long time ago, but I think typical Hollywood injected some sappy love story in it too in the beginning.
