Plot: Balram Halwai (Adarsh Gourav) narrates his epic and darkly humorous rise from poor villager to successful entrepreneur in modern India. Cunning and ambitious, our young hero jockeys his way into becoming a driver for Ashok (Rajkummar Rao) and Pinky (Priyanka Chopra-Jonas), who have just returned from America. Society has trained Balram to be one thing a servant so he makes himself indispensable to his rich masters. But after a night of betrayal, he realizes the corrupt lengths they will go to trap him and save themselves. On the verge of losing everything, Balram rebels against a rigged and unequal system to rise up and become a new kind of master. Based on the New York Times bestseller and 2008 Man Booker Prize-winning novel.
My Movie Review: The movie is an upgrade story tell belongs to the class of cinema which is being told by a breed of not-so-Indian story-tellers who seems to understand Indian problems:0 The White Tiger is surprise hit as a common man struggle from rags to riches shock us on how he did it is always a fascinating tale specially when it's related to Indian diaspora where caste inequality is still existing after thousand of years of oppression plus leave a lasting impression:) In his world its dangerous to live and trust someone rather than self its eat or be eaten almost delicious to watch the undeniable wit and guts to do this his character's choices can be difficult to digest, but Adarsh Gourav is great in this smart, socially conscious satire, which realistically blurs the lines between good and evil, I just love angst and clever motive's it entails all through!
Critics Consensus: Well-acted and beautifully made, The White Tiger distills the strengths of its source material into a grimly compelling drama. Frustratingly naive one minute and coldly calculating the next, Gourav manages to make Balram likeable for the duration of the film. If you're looking for a Friday night movie to while away a few lockdown hours - The White Tiger is the perfect choice. Any hope or salvation The White Tiger offers is laced with a drop of arsenic, and there are certainly no Bollywood dance numbers to lift your spirits. Through climactic nod to Naipaul's merciless depiction of underdeveloped India, no matter how fortunate individuals might escape, Bahrani's The White Tiger subverts the standard-issue poverty porno. The White Tiger is a kinetic excursion into darkness with Balram as our charismatic guide. Directed by Iranian-American filmmaker Ramin Bahrani, the film is a breeze despite some tired clichés. It ends up as an insider's take on corruption and caste and class-divides in India... Balram's tale is rich and ruthless enough for both approaches, and for any country built on a premise of one class eating another the impression one get with this is of a film that's too big for its own good:)
