After all the hype, this was pretty disappointing. The first half of the movie is extremely slow and the so-called relationship between Ramanujan and his wife is nothing less than cringe-worthy - I don't know if it was done on purpose, but there is less than zero chemistry between them, it's like two people who meet for the first time, know nothing about each other and have absolutely nothing in common. I understand that as a movie, they wanted to give some background about his early life, but it was way to long and almost irrelevant to the plot and the pacing is extremely slow.

The second half of the movie is better, but not great either. It tells a lot about the interaction between Ramanujan and Hardy and not much about the mathematics, but that is expected from a movie intended for the general public. While it's more interesting than the first half, there is nothing too exciting to make it better than your average clichéd melodrama.
