The Man who knew Infinity

There are people who are born a genius and do extremely well for themselves and then there are people like Srinivasa Ramanujan who are born a genius and make a contribution to mankind. This film is a fitting tribute to the Indian mathematical wizard whose equations and theory were so profound that they are used to explain the behaviour of blackholes almost 100 years after his death. Dev Patel plays the role of the autodidact genius well while Jeremy Irons impeccably delivers the role of G.H.Hardy, Ramanujan's English mentor and friend. A good watch.

Jungle Book

The story of the human kid  Mowgli, who is raised by a pack of wolves and is hunted by the tiger Sher Khan is not new as some of us grew up to it. With all characters portrayed very well, this movie is a throwback to those memories and a fabulous visual treat. However, Sher Khan voiced by Idris Elba and Baloo voiced by Bill Murray steal the show. Go book your tickets.
