The White Tiger Is a Lush, Dark Rags-to-Riches Tale

Courtesy Of Netflix DRIVE MY CAR Roles are reversed by the end of Bahrani s dark satire about an ambitious chauffeur played by Gourav (left). Our streaming entertainment options are overwhelming and not always easy to sort through. This week, I watched The White Tiger, a Netflix film set in India that mashes up satire, class-conscious underdog story and crime drama with flash and style. Ramin Bahrani ( Goodbye Solo, 99 Homes) directed and adapted the screenplay from Aravind Adiga s Man Booker Prize-winning novel. The author and filmmaker have been friends since their student days at Columbia University; their collaboration is an award nominee and a top-10 global hit on the streaming service.

The White Tiger: A rags-to-riches drama setting itself up as the new Slumdog Millionaire

From here, Ramin Bahrani’s adaptation of Aravind Adiga’s novel begins to feel less like an imitation of Danny Boyle’s Oscar winner and more a stinging critique of it. There’s nothing feel-good about Balram’s climb up the greasy pole. To him, modern India is a “rooster coop” where servile masses wait stupidly to be butchered and fed to the rich. We know Balram escapes from the opening scene where, as a nattily attired entrepreneur, he starts narrating his life story.  It begins in the early Noughties as the impoverished Balram decides to manipulate his way into the affections of Ashok (Rajkummar Rao), the American-educated son of the wealthy coal baron who owns his village.
