The pressure was on Patel from the very beginning, considering how he was literally plucked from obscurity for both his film and television debuts. First came the television series Skins, a confronting, raunchy teen drama that follows the messy travails of several lovestruck, emotionally-volatile teenagers. Patel depicts the thoroughly excitable An...
As a result of being so damn good in Skins, Patel then caught the eye of filmmaker Danny Boyle. Loosely based on Vikas Swarup’s novel Q & A, the ambitious 2008 rags-to-riches tale Slumdog Millionaire tracks the many trials and tribulations of young Jamal Malik. Not only does this eighteen-year-old from the slums of Mumbai find himself a contestant ...
What a shame then that Patel’s possible blockbuster breakout moment had to fizzle out so quickly in M. Night Shyamalan’ The Last Airbender, a live-action adaptation of the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Even as a Shyamalan fan, I refuse to claim a movie so devoid of, well, basic tenets of effective storytelling. Sad inauthenticity perm...
The 2010 short film The Commuteris a worthier action venture for the actor. Despite being merely eight minutes long, this little flick — directed by Edward and Rory McHenry and shot entirely on a Nokia N8 — sees Patel chased through the streets of London, parkouring over rooftops and avoiding a whacky myriad of foes. The Commuter is mostly a formal...
There is hardly another role in Patel’s repertoire that uses a similarly humorous skill set than that of his appearances in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movies. In 2011, director John Madden and screenwriter Ol Parker made a charming feel-good romp out of Deborah Moggach’s novel These Foolish Things. The fluffy romantic comedy centers on several ...
Between the releases of the Marigold outings, Patel featured in a couple of indies that starkly recall the darker, raunchier side of his Skins era. Stephen Elliott’s About Cherry and Gren Wells’ The Road Withinattempt to untangle concerning emotional topics beneath kitschy premises. The former deals with an eighteen-year-old woman’s induction into ...
In contrast, Patel’s role in The Road Withinis loud, to say the least. He portrays Alex, a young man diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder whose strict day-to-day schedule is thrown into utter disarray after he befriends Robert Sheehan’s Tourette’s-afflicted Vince and Zoe Kravitz’s dangerously anorexic Marie. The three are rarely on the same...
Several early-career hiccups notwithstanding, Patel has never been a stranger to fascinating creative collaborations. His first substantial return to TV in The Newsroom acquaints him with the formidable Aaron Sorkin. Subsequently, a year after the three-season series concluded, Patel’s most thrilling big-screen team-up since Slumdog Millionaire wou...
Chappie introduces Patel’s next nerdy, science-oriented character, Deon Wilson, in a fairly analogous way. Like Neal, Deon is on the cusp of revolutionizing the industry he works in — except this time, the story trades the news for the machinations of weapons manufacturing. Deon is responsible for creating armored robots that have successfully redu...
Chappie marks the start of a new era for Patel. His filmography began including a selection of biopics and films such as The Man Who Knew Infinity and Lion, which collectively assisted Patel’s metamorphosis into a brooding leading man. Matthew Brown’sThe Man Who Knew Infinityis a blatantly straightforward biographical drama based on a book of the s...
