Review: THE WHITE TIGER

Image
  The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga is 2008 Man Booker Prize Winner which was recently adapted as a netflix movie and was released 2 days ago. I had baught the book last year on 26th of January 2020 out of curiosity. I don't quite remember, maybe I saw it on my recommendation page on amazon shopping app after a previous purchase of another book named SHANTARAM from the same seller. Today I saw the movie and wanted to capture my thoughts about it in comparison and in parallel to the book. SPOILERS AHEAD⚠️ This story is about a driver turned entrepreneur BALRAM. In my eyes he is both protagonist and antagonist of this story, both victim and culprit. He is the rooster that became white tiger.. The movie unlike the book starts on one of the main events of the story. I liked how in the book the story was written in form of an invitation/confession letter. Sitting in his air-conditioned office, he pens down his journey so far to Mr. Premier (prime minister of china) who was visiting India
