Based on the book of the same name, Iranian American director Ramin Bahrani's film "The White Tiger" features acclaimed Indian actors like Priyanka Chopra and Rajkummar Rao. However, it is relative newcomer Adarsh Gourav who steals the show. He plays the film's central character, Balram Halwai, a poor villager who is willing to climb the social ladder at all costs.
As a student of a school with no esteem, he impresses a school inspector with his intelligence. He finds him to be the only bright child in a classroom of ignorant children, and the man dubs him a white tiger, a rare creature that "comes along only once in a generation." He promises him a scholarship in a good school, but the promise remains unfulfilled. Balram foregoes his schooling when he drops out to pay off his father's debt.
