Most of the film takes place in Cambridge, after Ramanujan has been invited to England to explain the theories he put forward in a letter to the eminent Cambridge mathematician, GH Hardy (Jeremy Irons), in 1913. Assuming you don't care about accuracy in his life story. Let's start again: if you don't mind a broad melodrama about a fascinating and mysteriously gifted man who revolutionised mathematical thinking, then this is your film. The casting of Dev Patel as Ramanujan was all but inevitable in that sense: get the guy from Slumdog Millionaire and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel!
