Last
few
years
have
been
exceptionally
successful
for
Indian
makers
as
the
content
that
is
originated
from
here
is
reaching
new
heights
every
day.
One
such
recent
outing
to
make
it
all
the
way
to
Oscars
is
none
other
than
The
White
Tiger,
produced
by
Mukul
Deora,
starring
Adarsh
Gourav,
Priyanka
Chopra-Jonas
and
Rajkummar
Rao
and
helmed
by
Iranian-American
director
Ramin
Bahrani.
After
garnering
numerous
accolades
across
the
globe,
the
film
has
been
nominated
for
an
Academy
Award
under
the
category
of
Best
Adapted
Screenplay.
The
beautiful
tale,
penned
originally
by
Man
Booker
winner
Aravind
Adiga
in
his
novel
of
the
same
name,
is
about
is
a
gripping
story
that
reflects
realism
and
sheds
light
on
the
class
divide
prevalent
in
India.
The
empowering
film
is
loaded
with
a
thriller
as
Mukul
Deora
imagined
it
to
be.
Ever
since
he
read
the
book,
he
desired
to
give
life
to
this
enigmatic
writing
by
Aravind
Adiga.
Talking
about
how
steps
like
these
are
working
towards
putting
the
new
India
on
the
map,
the
lead
actor
of
the
film,
Adarsh
Gourav
says,
"This
is
a
great
time
to
be
around
for
anyone
creative.
Digital
platforms
have
opened
up
so
many
new
doors
of
opportunities
for
us.
The
kind
of
work
that
is
happening
is
a
lot
braver
and
more
experimental.
People
are
willing
to
take
risks.
We
now
don't
have
to
worry
about
box
office
numbers
as
such.
We
have
to
worry
about
our
own
craft
and
focus
on
that.
The
new
India
that
we
represent
is
exactly
the
new
India
that
Balram
represents
where
you
dare
to
dream
and
you
have
the
resources
and
opportunities
to
realise
them."
Producer
Mukul
Deora
shares,
"This
is
a
movie
about
a
driver
killing
his
master.
Last
year
there
was
Parasite,
before
that
Roma.
Why
are
these
stories
about
uncomfortable
truths
being
made
all
over
the
world
and
are
successful?
Not
just
in
India.
Because
of
digital
platforms
and
new
forms
of
media,
there
is
a
realisation
that
there
was
always
a
hunger
for
these
stories
amongst
audiences.
I
always
wanted
to
hear
amazing,
true,
compelling
stories,
but
because
of
the
system
that
was
there
with
marketing
budgets
being
so
high,
and
a
winner
takes
all
mentality,
it
was
hard
for
90
per
cent
of
these
movies
to
break
through
and
to
get
financed.
Now
because
they
are
easily
viewed
by
anyone
on
phones,
etc,
the
audience
is
lapping
it
up
over
the
world.
White
Tiger
was
number
1
in
61
countries.
It's
an
amazing
story.
It
really
resonated
with
me."
