Lion is an Australian drama film directed by Garth Davis.
Starring Dev Patel, Rooney Mara, David Wenham, Nicole Kidman, Abhishek Bharate, Divian Ladwa & Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
The incredible true story of a boy who was separated from his family in 1986 from Khandwa, India. Saroo is a five year old boy who lives with his mother and siblings. While searching for a job Saroo and his older brother gets separated and Saroo ends up on a train that takes him 1500 miles away from home.
The first half of the movie is fully shot in India and the language used in the first half is Hindi. Cinematographer Greig Frasier did a wonderful job in capturing all the frames. Sunny Pawar steals the first half of the movie as young Saroo. Also, the film has a surprise song from an old movie and it's hard to believe that Lion is the first feature film of Garth Davis. Both Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman deliver a strong performance and they handle the emotional scenes superbly. The story of the movie is split into different eras of Saroo's life and Davis story telling way actual helps to maintain the pace of the movie. The end credits of the movie have no words to say and to be frank, I don't know how to express my feelings at that point of time. Overall, it's a must watch and highly recommended to all movie lovers.
Verdict: Great
