Ramanujan, who credits God for these equations that simply pop into his head, believes he is destined for greater things and doesn't want to waste his time on the grunt work. The pragmatic Hardy respects Ramanujan's talent, but wants him to put in the hard yards to prove his theories. Together, they fight to get Ramanujan the recognition he deserves, while also engaging in their own battle of wills. Once there, Ramanujan faces racism and a range of obstacles, but also manages to form an unlikely friendship with the gruff Hardy (played brilliantly by Jeremy Irons). Dev Patel, who shot to fame with Slumdog Millionaire, plays the self-taught maths genius who leaves India (and his new bride) to work with revered Cambridge theorist GH Hardy in England around the time of World War I.
