The film accurately portrays the historical figure of Srinivasa Ramanujan with an actor of Indian descent, reflecting inherent diversity in its main cast. The narrative explores the cultural and racial challenges faced by the protagonist within the early 20th-century British academic establishment, presenting a nuanced view without explicitly recasting traditional roles or broadly villainizing traditional identities.

Secondary
