In 1986, Saroo was a five-year-old child in India of a poor but happy rural family. On a trip with his brother, Saroo soon finds himself alone and trapped in a moving decommissioned passenger train that takes him to Calcutta, 1000 miles away from home. Now totally lost in an alien urban environment and too young to identify either himself or his home to the authorities, Saroo struggles to survive as a street child until he is sent to an orphanage. Soon, Saroo is selected to be adopted by the Brierley family in Tasmania, where he grows up in a loving, prosperous home. However, for all his material good fortune, Saroo finds himself plagued by his memories of his lost family in his adulthood and tries to search for them even as his guilt drives him to hide this quest from his adoptive parents and his girlfriend. Only when he has an epiphany does he realize not only the answers he needs, but also the steadfast love that he has always had with all his loved ones in both worlds.
Leave your thoughts about Lion.
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathIn Lion, Patel sheds his tendency to play his characters broadly. But Pawar easily eclipses his efforts. |
| The Sun (UK)Jamie EastYour heart is made of Satan's teeth if you don't come away with dusty eyes and a warm feeling. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Brian VinerYou don't need to have adopted a child, or to have been adopted yourself (although I was, as it happens), to find Lion immensely moving. All you need is a heart. |

| Seven DaysRick KisonakOnly the most shrivel-hearted grinch could watch this Christmas release and not be moved. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe true story that will elicit your empathy through the miracles in the life of a man who goes on a quest to locate his birth family. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedOnce in awhile, a movie comes along that is so touching and sincere, without a moment of false emotion or manipulative self-indulgence, that it establishes squatters’ rights and moves into your heart to stay. |
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithPowerful. That is how I'd best describe "Lion." |
