A tale of two Indias, it tells the story of Balram, the son of a rickshaw puller, who is taken out of school by his family and put to work in a teashop. Balram’s journey from the darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.
