Based on the novel by the same name by Arvind Adiga(which won him the Booker Prize in 2008), The White Tiger is the story of a young man who dreams to be big except that he is from a backward class. Will he make it big? And at what cost? Now I haven’t read the book and so I have no reference to fall back on. But the story is deliciously dark which has the potential to slowly grow on you. I am sure the book would have been more detailed, but the adapted screenplay is filled with intrigue too. It brilliantly shows the class divide, thereby also touching on topics of religion and caste. To give you a perspective, there was a movie Sir which I had reviewed. While that did show the divide too, this one is a bit in your face and quite dark. There are no rosy moments. I may stretch my neck a bit and say that this one is more in the Parasite mould, though it would be unfair to match this with that masterpiece. The more you watch, the more you sink into the drama as it keeps getting murkier. One minor criticism, the rain sequence(you will know when you watch it) could have been written better especially how it ends. Should have been more brutal for an even more lasting impact. But other than that I have enjoyed the writing!
