In the movie "The White Tiger," based on the New York Times bestseller written by Aravind Adiga, we follow the extraordinary journey of Balram Halwai, a young Indian driver hailing from a rural village.

Balram, narrating his own story to a Chinese Premier visiting India, reflects on his journey from poverty to his current position. Born into a poor family, Balram's intelligence and ambitious nature drive him to dream of a better life. He manages to secure a job as a driver for a wealthy Indian family in Delhi, serving the influential businessman Ashok Sharma and his enigmatic wife, Pinky.

As Balram delves deeper into his job, he becomes privy to the corruption, greed, and socio-economic inequality deeply rooted in Indian society. He witnesses the stark contrast between the flourishing elite class and the impoverished masses who suffer immensely. Inspired by the writings of his father, who believed that knowledge and cunningness could uplift oneself, Balram begins to devise his own plan to escape the clutches of poverty and achieve his dreams.

When a tragic incident puts Balram in a vulnerable position, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He cunningly manipulates circumstances to his advantage, ensuring his rise to the top. As Balram climbs the societal ladder, he outwits both his employers and the corrupt system that holds many like him captive.

Through bribery, deception, and even murder, Balram establishes his own business and becomes an entrepreneur in the newly emerging India of the early 21st century. But with power and wealth come their own challenges, and Balram must navigate the treacherous waters of an unequal society while trying to protect his newfound status.

"The White Tiger" engages with themes of class struggle, corruption, and the dark underbelly of the Indian economic boom. Balram's journey is an unflinching portrayal of the lengths one man is willing to go to break free from the chains of poverty and oppression.

As Balram recounts his story to the Chinese Premier, the movie raises questions about the sacrifices made in pursuit of success and the morality of Balram's actions. Ultimately, "The White Tiger" challenges conventional notions of right and wrong, painting a complex portrait of survival and ambition in a society fraught with inequality.
