The White Tiger

This weekend, I’m looking forward to THE WHITE TIGER, premiering on Netflix today. It’s produced by and features Priyanka Chopra, and also stars Hollywood newcomer Adarsh Gourav. The film, directed by Ramin Bahrani, is adapted from Aravind Adiga’s award-winning book of the same name about Balram, a rickshaw driver, who climbs the social ladder by getting into the good graces of his wealthy boss. This journey of seeking freedom and financial prosperity takes a dark turn when a murder thwarts Balram’s well-planned scheme. The adaptation seems to have a similar tone as the book—socially relevant, darkly humorous, and deliciously thrilling. Check out the trailer here!
