"The moment you recognize what is beautiful in this world, you stop being a slave"
We've heard many negative remarks on book of the same. The majority of people's opinion was that it showed India in bad light. Though we've not read Adiga's book so far, read many articles by him regarding various subjects. We're prepared for something like Slumdog Millionaire. It is better than that.
The film starts with entrepreneur Balram Halwai (Adarsh) writing an Email to Chinese premier Wen Jiabao seeking an appointment and simultaneously narrating his story.
Having been unable to utilize the scholarship and study further due to his father's untimely death, Balram starts working in a tea shop. Now his dream is to work as a chauffeur to Ashok (Rao), village bigwig's son who has just returned from USA with his wife Pinky (Chopra). He blackmails his way into becoming Ashok's personal driver in Delhi. He develops close relationship with Ashok's family who treats him with respect. An incident on Pinky's birthday and it's ramifications makes him to believe he is expendable to his master.
Will he be able to break the rooster coop?
A film that makes you uncomfortable and questions whether you have been an oppressor at some point in time.
A beautiful must watch film
