For that matter both Dev Patel's and Jeremy Iron's acting are utterly spellbinding. The profundity of that is realised when one feels the pain of Hardy in coming to terms with the fact that he'll never see Ramanujan again. It was a rare symphony of two souls that happens once in ages. As Hardy addresses his interactions with Ramanujan akin to a romantic affair, he encapsulates their common passion for maths and their devotion to the craft. How an unlikely partnership slowly turns into a mutual respect and finally into a meaningful yet short-lived friendship is at the core of the Ramanujan-Hardy story. Sure, the portrayal of a genius struggling with schizophrenia makes for a more compelling story but is by no means tragic.
