Acerca de esta película

In LION, five-year-old Saroo gets lost on a train travelling away from his home and family. Frightened and bewildered, he ends up thousands of miles away, in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow he survives living on the streets, escaping all sorts of terrors and close calls in the process, before ending up in an orphanage that is itself not exactly a safe haven. Eventually Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple, and finds love and security as he grows up in Hobart. Not wanting to hurt his adoptive parents’ feelings, he suppresses his past, his emotional need for reunification, and his hope of ever finding his lost mother and brother. But a chance meeting with some fellow Indians reawakens his buried yearning. With just a small store of memories, and the help of a new technology called Google Earth, Saroo embarks on one of the greatest needle-in-a-haystack quests of modern times.

Very moving drama. Story is told in a way that grips the audience and stirs emotions especially for me who is a younger brother who was well cared for by my older siblings. Good watch.

This guy should not be in the new DavidCopperfield movie first of all DavidCopperfield was caucasian not a not too attractive br0wn guy marrying a whlte blond lol keep dreaming. Stop pushing a dispicable dillusional agendas in films.

I just loved this movie! It was totally amazing! The incredible courage and strength that Saroo showed was really inspiring. He proves to us that each of us has a lion inside, if we will only allow ourselves to access it! He proves that we are much stronger than we realize, no matter what age we are. Dev Patel's portrayal was so touching and moving that I was moved to tears. This is definitely worthy of an Oscar!
