Well Acted Movie

I don't know how this has some poor ratings. Script and acting of this were fabulous. And throughout whole movie you rarely look at your watch. It kept you hooked till the end. Speaking of end, it could be more dramatic or interesting but overall it was fun to watch this kind of cinema now a days. Give it a shot you won't regret.

Adarsh Gaurav shines

Adarsh Gaurav stole the entire screen space. Even though his role was titular, he was pitched up against Priyanka Chopra and Rrajkumar Rao, both acting giants. Hence, coming out tops over them was no joke. His prowess in the acting department was refreshing to experience. Watch the movie especially for his performance.

Best picture

A marvelous film. The moral of the story ( how to get ahead in India) however, is shocking. Whoa. The lead actor, Adarsh, is terrific. Best acting I've seen in a long time.

Amazing first half!!

The first half is really fast paced and really pulls you in. However halfway in the movie starts to drag and the climax is not that big of a payoff. However it's still a thoroughly enjoyable movie that I highly recommend.

Book > Movie

I have read the book around 2009 and when it got man booker it also got a fair amount of criticism for showing India in badlight. Whenever I saw this book in the shelf I was wondering why a movie has not been made which it deserves. Finally it happened in 2021. I felt the white tiger as a movie was some what rushed and all things happened very quickly but thankfully this adaptation doesn't spoil the books reputation either. A good watch
