Description

He came to the jungle to disappear, not to capture a photograph. He didn’t expect what the wild would hand back to him.

Neel is running on competence and exhaustion—an expert at keeping everyone comfortable while quietly losing himself in the process. When he joins a wildlife photography expedition to Bandipur National Park, he isn’t chasing a prize shot. He’s looking for a way out.

What he finds is a world where nothing begs to be chosen. In the wild, animals retreat, hold ground, and vanish—without guilt, without explanation. Behind the lens, Neel begins to recognize his own reflex: over-giving, over-adjusting, over-explaining—the quiet patterns of people-pleasing that drain a life one “yes” at a time.

And then the silence gets louder. As love—and ordinary life—press on old wounds, Neel faces a choice: return to what drains him, or learn the lesson of the tiger and choose what restores him.

THE TIGER WITHIN: Power of Presence is reflective, immersive, and quietly gripping—part wilderness journey, part emotional transformation—where the most dangerous line isn’t in the jungle. It’s the one you keep crossing inside yourself.
