It’s remarkably the feature-length directorial debut for Lena Khan who also co-wrote and co-produced, and boasts a cast of South Asian and South Asian American all-stars. Most importantly, it’s a feature that is rich and diverse in its comedy, ever finding lively ways to draw the eyes and ears of its viewers. THE TIGER HUNTER is an immigrant comedy that never shies away from tough subjects that pose a challenge to the “American Dream” – topics like job discrimination, raised expectations, deep disappointments, and the looming fear of failure. Sami’s carefully-wrought plans go up in smoke upon arrival in Chicago, but with the help of his dozen-or-so roommates, including the eternally positive Babu (Rizwan Manji), Sami perseveres and learns a few life-changing lessons in the process. It’s the 1970s and Sami is determined to emigrate from India, become a successful engineer in the U.S., marry his childhood love Ruby (Karen David), and finally realize his vision for succeeding his father’s legacy. After all, his late father was the widely-adored hometown tiger hunter. The village expects big things from Sami Malek (Danny Pudi).
