Featured reviews
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.
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.
This is an excellent, fun yet stunningly tragic, insight into the caste system in India. For anyone never having visited India, they would think this complete fantasy. Yet. It is incredibly real. India is an extraordinary chasm between the haves and the have nots. Don't be fooled thinking it is about wealth and poverty. It is about being a person or a slave. The majority of Indians' lives are destined to be less than human. Slaves.
This little gem of a movie covers the tragedy through the eyes of a country "mouse". A lovely villager, played superbly by Adash Gourav. A truly memorable performance.
This is a memorable movie and I highly recommend it to anyone remotely interested in India.

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
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.
