The White Tiger

Excellent movie and raw reality from india .. good from most countries.

[Netflix] Apparently, an American director of Iranian origin does not have much connection with India. But this adaptation manages to transfer the contradictions of a complex country, the old-fashioned caste system that nevertheless is the central axis of Indian society. Although the moral conclusion of the story may be debatable, it builds a process of transformation from a young villager into an unscrupulous person. It is, therefore, a not very accommodating vision of a life marked by the origin of each person.

Was hooked 70% in. Thought it really captured the raw reality of a servant’s life well. Main actor showed dynamic ability. The ending lost me a bit—felt like a little unrealistic stretch, but overall good.

It left some very strong question marks, but it wasn't a bad movie.

For a Netflix movie this was not bad. Nice story, controversial without although showing the true indian story, it is an american movie, do not expect a new Slumdog Millionaire.

A fascinating poverty-to-prosperity journey with some good acting and authentic scenery (really brought me back to the time I visited India).

This kind of films will always be controversial. Some people think, I don't know why, that their message is "act like the protagonist" (as if all movies had role models as protagonists). I like the plot and the script. I liked the acting and the direction. I believe this is one of those uncomfortable movies that shows the reality, raw non-romantic reality millions of people live in. At the end I was feeling it a bit long. I did not find anything remarkable but everything is OK.

It was a nice movie to watch but the end... I was expecting a nice ending for explaining his success but nope. [spoiler] Only killed his master and used his money for taking over other people businesses illegally[/spoiler]

Not my favorite film but it was okay. It felt raw and full of emotions and such but it had a mediocre ending.

Not great, not bad. Pretty okay. Just your generic Indian rags-to-wealth movie, I suppose. Some of the few deviations from the generic Hindi movies were [spoiler](1) the main guy doesn't end up with a girl in the end (2) no musical numbers (3) murder scene and (4) Priyanka's highly westernized character.[/spoiler] Given Priyanka's move away from Bollywood towards Hollywood 5 years ago, her role made sense to me.
