The White Tiger

Destined to work his fingers to the bone on his family's tea stall, ambitious Balram spots a golden opportunity to break free from the plight of his caste and forge his path to financial success.

As a result, Balram's repressed anger blows up after a shocking but eye-opening incident. Now, no one is safe from harm. But does Balram have what it takes to become a white tiger?
