Explanation
The movie 'The Man Who Knew Infinity' released in 2015 is based on the biography of S. Ramanujan (Srinivasa Ramanujan), the legendary Indian mathematician. The film depicts his life story, particularly his journey from India to Cambridge University where he worked with mathematician G.H. Hardy. Ramanujan was born in 1887 in Tamil Nadu and is known for his extraordinary contributions to mathematics, particularly in number theory and infinite series, before his early death in 1920. S. Chandrasekhar was an astrophysicist known for the Chandrasekhar limit, S. N. Bose contributed to quantum statistics, and C. V. Raman discovered the Raman effect in physics—none of them were the subject of this particular film.
