After all, so many of these people are where they are because of the hilarious journeys of folks like Sami. Sami and his band of undervalued engineers work on solving a microwave problem of the issues, but his struggle - both the laughs and the heartache - will no doubt be familiar to those of diverse backgrounds working in engineering and tech industries today. Tiger Hunter is a comedy about an immigrant in 1970s Chicago - but it also tells the story about a talented South Asian engineer who enters an industry where he is a minority–and shows that industry how much it needs him and the other immigrants he befriends. When Sami’s job falls through, he takes a low-end position and joins with a gang of oddball friends in hopes of convincing his childhood sweetheart that he’s far more successful than he truly is…or perhaps ever could be. Set in the 1970s, The Tiger Hunter is the story of Sami Malik, a young Indian man who travels to America to become an engineer in order to impress his childhood crush and live up to the legacy of his father-a legendary tiger hunter-back home. We just need to support ourselves, and each other… and people will learn who we are. I think it was a lesson for me, that I’ve since embraced - nobody will respect us, until we respect ourselves. And it is being distributed by a major distributor in a huge release across the country, and audiences have loved it.
#The tiger hunter movie 2017 full
Fast forward years of struggle later, and it’s such a wakeup call to see that my first feature is full of South Asians, and it’s inspired by the stories of my immigrant parents and those of dozens of immigrants I interviewed. I felt like for me to be validated as a director, I needed to make stories about other cultures. I think in some ways I felt the way a lot of minority kids do - that my culture, my identity… weren’t as valid or important as those of others. And starting out, even though that was my goal, the stories I was telling never really reflected my identity. I pursued a career in media and entertainment, because I wanted to educate people, about people. But it definitely isn't a waste of an hour and a half of your time.With The Tiger Hunter opening nationwide September 22nd, director Lena Khan speaks about its immigrant story, how her own identity and experience as a first-generation Indian-American shaped its creation, and why we should support it at the box office this coming weekend. I just saw them having fun with it all under the guise of making this entertaining movie. One reviewer would have us believe that the actors didn't seem to enjoy themselves in the making of this movie yet I felt that is far from the truth. A place where even a street sweeper owned a car. This movie also showed us that even though America didn't live up to its initial expectations, it was still a land that offered freedoms that their home countries didn't. It showed a love story that not only felt real, it's a reality for many people facing parental expectations and arranged marriages. Although the reality was far from the truth. It showed America as a land, people in far off countries, often though of as a place of unlimited opportunities and freedom. Set in the late seventies India and America. One reviewer had us believe the movie was chaotic but I had no problems following the story as it was simply laid out with its mixture of flashbacks and real time. I walked out of this movie with a smile on my face and made me once again believe in the goodness of people. The world is different and this was another side to the multi faceted coin called life. I liked it because it was told from a totally different and quite a quirky perspective. It was about one man uncovering the true treasures in life. Not to harrowing heights but to his rightful place. Okay it wasn't laugh out loud, though I did find myself chuckling more than half a dozen times, this was a heart warming story about the underdog rising from his position. I do not normally write reviews but I thought I had to add another perspective to the one that nearly made me miss out on watching this movie. I went into this movie expecting the worst, after reading another review but was totally surprised by this movie.
