Just saw this film at the SF Film Festival. I thought it was excellent. Why? It combines various levels of entertainment: the intellectual mathematics involved and the realities of academic competition; the historical and cultural conflicts between Indian and English traditions, attitudes, biases, and beliefs; the emotional love/friendship between men, between men and women, and between children and parents; and inhumanity towards other humans: warmongers vs. pacifists, religious vs. non-religious, individuals vs. groups, misunderstandings and lack of emotional intelligence in so many ways.
I comprehended very little of the mathematics involved but that did not matter and did not change my overall appreciation for the story and all the levels involved.
Kudos to all who created this film. The writing, the acting, the cinematography, the direction, all excellent...
