I thought _The White Tiger_ was okay and generally enjoyed it. But the movie had a lot of glaring plot holes:

- My biggest problem is how Balram could escape from the authorities and Ashok's very powerful and resourceful family? Not only that but he was able to start a new life and is not afraid to show his face on TV with the Chinese minister.

- Speaking of which, why does Balram tell his life's story to a Chinese minister? I understand it’s a creative way of narration but it’s just doesn’t make sense. They could have shown him telling that story to someone more logical.

- _The White Tiger_ is a 2021 style movie, very anti-capitalism. But I think people don’t realize that the movie is very nihilstic and depressing while it is presented as upbeat. The story shows that there is no resolution at the end. There's no way to rise out of poverty without becoming a master, the cycle continues on. Balram got the chance to be the exploiter and not the exploited. The difference? He is a good guy boss. Is he though, or is that just how he perceives himself?

- Based on the synopsis for this film, _“An ambitious Indian driver uses his wit and cunning to escape from poverty and rise to the top”_, I was expecting more from the second half. I’m really not sure what is witful or cunning about killing your boss and stealing his money.

_The White Tiger_ isn’t an Indian film. It’s very clearly an American one. From the all English dialogues (_because Americans are too lazy to read subtitles_) to the cultural oversimplifications that can only aim to pander to Americans who would rather focus on other people's inequalities so that they can avoid addressing their problems.
