Perhaps the book is better; though I felt this was the same formula as any other movie based in India for western release.

I am fine with a good cliched entertainment regarding criminals or just a poor man trying to climb the ladder to beat the rich people and be a millionaire. It’s all fine. My problem with “White tiger” is sheer amount of casual-ness in handling the solid premise with uninteresting characters, average editing and typical Indian TV soap-ish dialogues in between that made me check the credits again whether it was indeed an American who wrote and directed this. It makes me sad to write the above words because I absolutely loved Adarsh Gourav’s performance and to some extent 1st 50 minutes of the film. The casual-ness in executing the lead’s plan and making it look like a very skilful plan didn’t work for me. I didn’t find anything technically that I could point out and say “Oh that was amazing”. Priyanka’s character was good but Rajkumar’s was really badly written and no wonder even Raj…
