'The White Tiger' delivers thrills and social commentary

A cross between 'Slumdog Millionaire' (Danny Boyle, 2007) and 'Parasite' (Bong Joon-ho, 2019), Ramin Bahrani's 'The White Tiger' roars as it expertly integrates an engrossing socio-political commentary about the rich poor divide in India with a thrilling, bitingly cynical narrative. Bahrani's direction is clear and controlled but, unfortunately, unable to develop the screenplay to the point required for success. The cast breathes some decent life into the material at times with Adarsh Gourav leads with a highly entertaining performance.
