Serious Men

Ayyan Mani works in the Institute of Theory and Research as a lowly personal assistant to a brilliant, insufferable astronomer, Arvind Acharya. To entertain himself, and to cheer up his wife, he weaves an outrageous fiction around his son, setting in motion a chain of extraordinary events he's unable to stop. Meanwhile, a war is brewing between rival scientists at the Institute and a beautiful astrobiologist complicates matters further. Ayyan follows these events closely, inventing new ways to further his cause. SERIOUS MEN is a brilliantly funny tale of science, love, hope, and gives a fresh portrait of modern India.
