Our hero, Balram , tells us early on in his narration that in India the relationship between masters and servants is entrenched and accepted. Servants — like roosters in a roadside chicken coop stall who watch their fellow roosters being slaughtered while they silently wait their turn for certain death — believe that their only function is to serve, and must push aside their personal ambitions or feelings about the inequities of servitude itself.
When Balram hears that the gangsters are short a driver for their son Ashok , he charms his grandmother into lending him money for driving lessons and sets off for the city to stake his claim to a place a little higher up the social ladder than tea-shop charcoal-chopper. Smartly directed with a good sense of the frenetic discord and jarring juxtapositions of modern Indian life, and a strong feeling for the bitter and dark ironies at its core, the film succeeds in drawing us into Balram's unique perspective while showing us, with energy and empathy, the realities of the world around him.
