    Just when you think you’ve heard the last of Netflix-related ‘Tiger’ content, right?

    Well, this film is less Joe Exotic and more a blistering critique of inequality in India, based on the 2008 Booker Prize-winning novel, The White Tiger.

    The folks at Tatler are certainly impressed, saying the film delivers the goods in a “rags-to-riches tale well-told”, and calling it “a searing Netflix satire of modern India”.

    More from that review:

    Adarsh Gourav plays Balram, a nobody from a nowhere village in rural India who determines to break free from generations of poverty by becoming his wealthy landlords’ servant.

    Though the caste system has hundreds of gradations, Balram informs us, in India there are really only two categories that count: the people with ‘big bellies’, and the poor suckers within them…

    Balram determines to cast off his chains: to become a once-in-a-generation ‘white tiger’ and overcome the strictures of his background by making it – big.

    Before you ask, yes, it’s been compared to Slumdog Millionaire, which also tells the story of a poor boy in India overcoming hardships.

    Let’s see that trailer:

    The review is not without criticism, saying some scenes are “overlaid with an irritating voiceover” and the film is “overlong”, but “in the end, the film’s flaws prove surmountable, largely thanks to the rich ambivalence of its outlook and message”.

    Four stars out of five is Tatler’s final rating.

    The movie was released on Netflix this past weekend, so if you’re keen to watch it then you’re good to go.
