(2016)

Lion is a heart-wrenching and emotional drama that tells the moving true story of Saroo Brierley. At the tender age of five, Saroo gets separated from his family in a small Indian village and ends up lost on a train that takes him to Kolkata, hundreds of kilometers away from home. Eventually, he is adopted by an Australian couple, John and Sue, who give him a loving home and a bright future.

However, as Saroo grows older he can't shake the memory of his lost family and his desire to find them becomes overwhelming. With the help of modern technology, Saroo embarks on a daunting quest to track down his roots and reunite with his long-lost loved ones.

Directed by Garth Davis, Lion beautifully captures the immense emotional journey that Saroo undergoes as he confronts his past and struggles with his dual identity. Dev Patel delivers a powerful and soulful performance as the adult Saroo, while young Sunny Pawar steals hearts with his incredible portrayal of the young Saroo. Nicole Kidman and David Wenham are also excellent in their roles as Saroo's adoptive parents.

With its breathtaking cinematography that showcases the contrasting landscapes of India and Australia, Lion is a visually stunning film that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you feeling inspired and emotionally moved.
