Lion tells the dramatic true story of Saroo Brierley, who as a five-year-old boy from a small Indian village becomes lost and alone in Kolkata, before being adopted by an Australian couple. As a young adult, Saroo began a seemingly impossible search for this birth mother and the remote village where he was born, with the help of a then-new technology called Google Earth.
Dev Patel, best known to audiences for Slumdog Millionaire and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, stars as the grown Saroo and delivers a powerful performance. Patel’s performance and the amazing true story itself are the greatest strength of Lion. Director Garth Davis opts for a chronological approach in telling Saroo’s story. The choice makes Lion often feel like two movies, with differing tones and differing stars. Although Patel acts his heart...

Adapted from the memoir “A Long Way Home” by Saroo Brierley, the incredible film Lion stars Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman. Directed by Garth Davis in his feature film directorial debut, the drama also stars Rooney Mara, David Wenham, Sunny Pawar, Priyanka Bose, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Deepti Naval.
Lion tells the story of five-year-old Saroo (Sunny Pawar) who accidentally ends up alone on an empty train. Frightened and bewildered, he travels thousands of miles away from his home, and lands in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow, even without speaking the language, Saroo survives living on the streets. The young boy escapes all sorts of terrors and close calls before ending up in an orphanage that is not exactly a safe haven. Eventually Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple (Nicole Kidman and David Wenham), and finds love and security as he grows up in Hobart. As an adult, not wanting...

Lost and Found: An interview with the star of Lion, Dev PatelLost and Found: An interview with the star of Lion, Dev PatelMarni Weisz - Editor, Cineplex Magazine12/7/2016 12:54:00 Pm
In Dev Patel’s career there will be pre-Lion movies, and post-Lion movies.
Pre-Lion, the British-born actor of Indian heritage seemed to play clean-cut, skinny, cute, but slightly nerdy guys. Think of him as well-meaning romantic Sonny Kapoor in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Chappie’s bespectacled robot designer Deon Wilson, and even as unlikely trivia champ Jamal in 2008’s Best Picture-winning Slumdog Millionaire, Patel’s breakthrough film.
But Lion, which finished second only to La La Land in the battle for the Toronto International Film Festival’s prestigious People’s Choice Award, proves he can be something much different. Burly, masculine, quiet, sexy…and Australian.

Like its hero, Lion often finds itself torn between two worlds. Garth Davis’ film is working from true source material: Saroo Brierley was separated from his family as a child in India and adopted by an Australian couple; years later, he discovered his birthplace using Google Earth. But in trying to tell the whole of this nearly implausible tale, the film can’t figure out whether it’s more invested in young Saroo’s harrowing journey or older Saroo’s feeling of displacement.
Instead of adopting a present-day framing device, Lion initially unfolds chronologically, beginning with Saroo (Sunny Pawar) as a boy helping his mother and brother in Khandwa. One evening he—adorably, it should be noted—demands that his brother, Guddu (Abhishek Bharate), take him along on a trip to find work. When Saroo’s too sleepy to participate, Guddu leaves him on a bench. Saroo wakes up abandoned...
