The White Tiger - Movie

 2020. Ramin Bahrani's adaptation of Aravind Adiga's Booker-winning novel. I could never identify with the novel's setting - Balram writing a novel-length email to the Chinese premiere - about how he became a successful entrepreneur by killing his boss. However the prediction of brown and yellow skins taking over the world seems to be coming true, though I don't know in what ways. We will certainly outshout, out populate, out lie the rest. I didn't find anything to shout about in the film and found all the transitions between English and Hindi jarring.
