WHITE TIGER, STREAMING NOW

In 2008, Aravind Adiga won the 40th Booker Prize award for White Tiger, his debut novel. It focuses on the life of Balram Halwai, who rises to success from humble beginnings in modernday India. Balram is cunning and ambitious, so realises early on that he can use his position as a driver for two locals who’ve recently returned from America to his advantage. He makes himself indispensable, but finds out the hard way that loyalty counts for nothing. On the verge of losing everything, Balram must reinvent himself if he’s to become the wealthy entrepreneur he believes is his destiny. Darkly humorous, the film features a charming central performance from Adarsh Gourav in the lead role.
