The White Tiger Movie Review: Story & Performances
The main story is based on Aravind Adiga’s novel The White
Tiger which won the 2008 Man Booker Prize.
We saw, in the beginning, Balram Halwai(Adarsh Gourav) narrates
his own story to us. He was born in Laxmangarh, a small village of Bihar. He
was a meritorious guy from his childhood but due to a lack of financial support
from his family, he had to leave his studies in his early school days.
His grandmother had forced him to work and earn for the
family. Due to lack of treatment for tuberculosis his father died soon.
The day he saw Ashok(Rajkummar Rao) in their village for the first time, he decided to work as a driver for him.
We have already seen some top performances from Rajkumar Rao in the movies like Ludo, Omerta, Chhalaang, etc.
Ashok was born in India but grew up in America. He was
married to Pinky(Priyanka Chopra Jonas).
He learnt driving and requested his Ashok’s Saras(Mahesh
Manjrekar) to keep him as their second driver. After getting the complete
background details of Balram they accepted his proposal.
After joining there, Balram was looking for opportunities to
take the position of 1st driver. He found the weakness of that first
driver and blackmailed him to take his position.
Slowly Balram became their favorite driver and closer to
Ashok & Pinki. On Pinki’s birthday, she requested Balram to drive the car
herself. While she was busy in a conversation with Ashok, she ran over a little
girl on the road. Balram handled the situation and took them quickly out of
that place.
The White Tiger is about how the servants treat their masters
in India. The servants often compromise many things in their life for the
masters. Sometimes the master-servant relationship is like a trap that any
servant rarely could come out from.
Director Ramin Bahrani won the hearts of many people with
such beautiful storytelling. He was also able to bring out the best in Adarsh Gourav.
We have seen many stories already about the caste and class
divisions in India but this one was special.
Adarsh Gourav puts a remarkable performance here and no
doubt he was the show-stealer. Rajkummar Rao & Priyanka Chopra Jonas also provided
valuable performances.
If you have not watched The White Tiger film of 2021 on
Netflix yet, then you can add it to your watch list.
