Is a film that is not to be missed
The film opens up at the heritage town where as a child Ramanujan�s mathematical wizardry is established and he is noticed for his genius approach to complex math problems. His mother Komalatthamma (Suhasini Mani Ratnam), a music teacher dots on her only son and Ramanujan is more attached to her than his father (Nizhalgal Ravi). After becoming the school topper in all subjects, Ramanujan�s father hopes that he would complete his graduation and take care of the family. However, Math becomes life for Ramanujan (Abhinay Vaddi), which results in poor show in all other subjects except Maths where he scores centum. In order to set right things, Komalam gets Ramanujan married to Janaki (Bhama).(more)

Ramanujan, the man who saw tomorrows Math yesterday
The film opens with Ramanujan, the man who saw tomorrows Math yesterday� and closes with the details of his axioms which are being used widely in contemporary technological advancements and also in everyday life. The Math prodigy was much ahead of his times but sadly was not well recognized during his period which the director showcases in an unambiguous form.(more)

Abhinay is stiff and wooden as Ramanujam
In a sea of mediocrity and in a country which not only tolerates ordinariness, but celebrates it, men like Ramanujan could lead a doomed existence. (more)

A prodigious Indian mathematician has to overcome poverty and prejudices and make a mark with the help of his British mentor.
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.

Abhinay is stiff and wooden as Ramanujam
Civil servant-turned-filmmaker Gnana Rajasekaran began his love affair with cinema in 1994 with Mogamul, a mushy story about a young boy falling in love with an older woman. But Rajasekaran switched tracks and settled down to creating biopics like Bharathi and Periyar.His latest, Ramanujan, traces the short life of the Indian mathematical prodigy - a life of brilliance that would have gone unsung and wasted had it not been for an equally eminent British math professor, G.H. Hardy, at Cambridge.(more)
