I remember thinking while reading "The White Tiger" years ago, "This would make a great movie!" It did. This is one of those epic rags to riches movies that I thoroughly enjoy. It begins with the hero reading his letter to the president of China telling him that now is the time for the Red and Yellow people to conquer the world. Then the story returns to his early days growing up in abject poverty in a poor, rural village. You empathize with him, even though he certainly isn't all good, by any means. But fighting a lingering caste system makes you do things you wouldn't normally have to resort to. If you enjoyed "Slumdog Millionaire" I think you'll like this.
4 out of 5 stars
