I am indian, and this question is for indians who pissed off and giving wrong comments, this is based on true story so they are showing what really the story is, not showing poor india. What they do if that guy who lost was not billionaire but poor, and this is the bitter truth about our country. When indian dramas and cinema shows huge mansions and rich families then you say why they are always rich in films, and when someone show you the truth, you get pissed. We are poor and rich, we are educated and uneducated, we are perfect and imperfect, but in our heart we are indians, and proud to be an indian, and we always praise if something is good, never say bad words.

I have legitimately never cried so much watching a movie. From the beginning to the end. This movie nearly mirrored my childhood except the running away from child capturues. I was born in Romania is the 90's where there was a huge percentage of unwanted children in train stations. I live there until I was 5 and was brought in a car to a children home where I was that year adopted to a Irish family which was unusual because I a lot of parents wanted newborns. I didn't know any English, and was literally starting to learn about escalators in airports, televisions, etc. I integrated very well the first year and was very excited about the whole thing. My sister who was also adopted from Russia two years later found it very hard the first years but is now fine. And I also graduated from a degree in Bachelor of Honours in Hotel Management which completely surprised me with similarly to the film. The reason why I feel so passionate is because this movie portrayed an essence of stories that are not being told enough. The cast was absolutely phenomenal and the movie was heart wrenching. Probably nobody is going to read all of this because it's like a thesis lol. Kudos to everyone in this film!!!
I was born in Romania as well and i was also adopted. Now i live in italy and, even if i don't remember anithing, i cried because last summer i came back to my home town looking for my biological mother (unsuccesfuly) like Saroo. During the movie, i relived all emotions that i had when i was there and i couldn't stop thinking about this. i think that this movie it's really emotional and done right, but i think it can really be understood by people who had been adopted and would like to meet their biological parents. ( wich part of Romania do you come from?)
(Australian parents) They are like living God .just look at their divine thought they can have their own child but they denied it just saying that " world is full of people , having a child will not make the world great, let's help someone who is already in this world and need help ❤️". Hats off . Pranam🙏 from India.
Megan Edwards Omg same, i have never cried so much in my life for a movie. It made me so emotional, i have always been thinking about people that lives like this, poor, epecially children but now i think about it all the time and it makes me cry so much 😭
This is the only reason why I love Hollywood rather than Bollywood Hollywood gives chance to Real actors but Bollywood gives chance to only star kids.................
Man!!! You are so true!ll As and indian, my uncle was featured in a film and got a super great response.. but some actors (I don't want to mention, but I can give you clue that they are superstar in bollywood) Said that my uncle doesn't belong here in bollywood!! And some film making companies always listen to these bollywood superstars which just kick out the actors who have more grater potential than them! India is indeed a beautiful country But some are really brats!!!
Thanks. To god that we hv ppl like u in this world....whole heartedly i wish u achieve everything in your life whatever u wish and want to have...may god bless u with lots and loads happiness and more values like u do hv now
@@Yashodhan1917 He slowed his brother down by wanting to go with him ...When you're hit by a moving object the butterfly effect of seconds is huge. Im sure he's thought that through a thousand times.
I'm adopted and found my birth family later in life. The movie does a good job of showing the the good and bad of being adopted, and the guilt of even looking for your real family. What moved me most was at the end realizing the time that elapsed would be different for his birth mother and him. For her, 20 years would seem like yesterday, for him a lifetime.
Or some people would hide in theatres or be seated far away from others. These might be the same people that leave early when the closing credits roll.
I'm crying the whole time. This happend to me and my older brother. Also in India. We're adopted now. I live in Germany, but I remember everything that happened than. It was so scary, every night, thinking of someone who will take you to another place. We made friends with other homeless kids. Some of them are adopted, some of them are dead. This happens every day all over the world. Its so sad😢❤
Who else cried uncontrollably coz of this story? I have never cried as much as I did in this movie. And that child actor, oh man, that kid is already a legend!
I haven’t cried so hard watching a movie ever. I wept. I couldn’t speak. What an incredible movie. The little kid Saroo was brilliant. He should’ve won an award. I hope he continues acting he will be a force!
OKAY OKAY LISTEN!!!!! The trailer is like nothing compared to the actual movie. Ive never cried so hard. and the ending kicks u in the gut so many times.
I've just watched the movie, and the ending is really heart-wrenching. You can imagine what he(the older brother) has been through. Maybe he's been looking for him all night, walking on the rails.. crying out his name. T_T
Jhon Agapito I don't think the older brother was looking for him when he died, I think he died when he was crossing the trains the moment he got off the train platform ( this is my hope, I don't wanna imagine home dying with worry about his little brother, even though when you think about it, it seems like the spirit of the brother was the one looking for the younger brother to unite him with his mom T.T ).
I am not a drama person .. but this movie was crafted so well that's make me not bored at all .. the Indian child Actor was so talented .. i wish he become a great Actor someday ..
Just went to see Lion, it's the first time in my life where I am positive someone was cutting onions inside the theater, really strange. And they kept cutting them throughout the movie...
Kimsea Chea If you liked this you will love Incendies.It is story about a mother's last request to her children to deliver 2 letters one to their brother one to their father after they are seperated by the Lebanese civil war.You won't regret it trust me
Sorry, Prakhar, but that's just bs. Oh, he's with you. I've lost my beloved one and trust me - she's not with me, that's the whole problem of death. I can remember her, but she's gone. And when she lived she told a lot about dealing with people who lost somebody close, as she lost her mother early. Like "don't say it will be alright, because it won't be alright" or "don't say that person is in heart because it's not how people feel". When she died somebody from my family tried to cheer me up this way. I got mad, I didn't talk for her for two years and then she said sorry, because she lost her brother and she understood it doesn't help at all. And trust me, I preferred her to be ignorant about this than to feel this feeling. Generally it's a hard topic, but never ever say things that aren't true. That makes people feel worse, misunderstood and some of them are on the verge of suicide, so it may end very badly.
I'm adopted from Romania and a few months ago, I found my entire birth family with six of my siblings. This weekend, my (adoptive) mother and I are going to watch this movie together because I don't think she understands the longing an adoptee has for finding where they come from. I've seen this movie before but put it in the back of my head because it was triggering not ever thinking I would actually find my natural family. It's only right to watch this after my support systems have said to me "You've had a whole Lion moment". Love this movie, and LOVEE Dev. So easy on the eyes
I don't understand how Dev was nominate for Best Supporting Actor. He's not a sidekick or anything. He's the protagonist. The main character. Of his own movie. The Oscars are messed up.
Ariel Joote well let's see. his chances on going up and winning the best actor against Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea) Denzel Washington (fences), not gonna happen. So I think it's pretty smart they decided to nominate him for the best supporting actor. The young Saroo being given 50 minutes of the screen time in a 2 hour movie.
Sasha Trejo i'm running out of tears it really made me sad the fact that i have a place where i'm safe..i eat..i sleep nd kids r out there in the streets...it kills
Dev Patel was outstanding in this movie. So was the little boy who played the young Sahroo. He was AMAZING! I completely felt his pain. I just wanted to pull him through the screen and hug and love on him. The ache as a mother to see that baby lost and fighting to stay alive, to being adopted and to see him thrive as a young man but still feeling a part of his life missing. I cried in agony and I cried for joy. Nicole Kidman was wonderful as the mother. I've watched this movie over and over. It's a must see for me.
I am a adopted child from Kazakhstan my parents are from Belgium. So we were going to watch a movie and they asked me if I wanted to watch this and they said are you sure and I said yes, so we watched it and when it was done I was crying a lot because I also wanted to find my parents who are from Kazakhstan and then I realize that I was just a baby and that I have no memory of me seeing my mother and my father from Kazakhstan. Believe it or not, this is real. Vik Van Hees
I‘m adopted too and i grew up in Switzerland🇨🇭. I can tell you, i cried 90% of the time watching this movie. Just thinking about saroo makes me emotional. If you want to see the movie take a big hanky! Or a lot of hankies🙈
Ayush Chaturvedi Very. It’s extremely convincing. I’m Australian too and he really nailed it. He actually sounds like he was born here. Rare for foreign actors to pull it off that well.
i cried my eyes out on this movie. For gudu, for Soroo for Sheila for the mother's broken heart. im from Iran and i was also lost for few hours when i was a child. i know how terrifying it can be. I was very lucky i came across this extremely kind family that brought me to their home, they fed me and called the police to get help. i was in the safety of their house playing with their children until cops arrived. the family were investigating until they made sure i was returned back to my own family. it only took about few hours and i was reunited with my parents and siblings. with all the support i had i was still terrified to my teeth and bones. i cant imagine what Soroo had gone through 😖😭 poor little child but a really smart one 💛 thank you for going back trying to find your sweet mother
I cried so much when watching this movie.....the saddest part is his brother guddu didn't have chance to meet his little brother saroo....before he died,he might be living with regret that he had lost his little brother.... I love this Australian couple who had adopted saroo.....
God bless those people who adopt homeless children not just bcoz they can't make one but also bcoz they can feel how bad/hard and harsh things are there for these innocent
I'm adopted myself (adopted out of eastern Europe as a baby, abandoned a few days after I was born). this movie hits the emotions SO HARD. They captured what it's liked being adopted SO WELL and how your quest for finding your birth family can easily turn into a complete obsession.
the real name of the character which Dev is playing was "Sheru Munshi Khan" Sheru or sher is called "lion" in English and he wasn't from Calcutta but Madhya Pradesh where he used live with his brother and mother after being left by his father. The train in which he slept took him to Hawra In Calcutta which is why he thinks his hometown to be Calcutta. His brother was found dead on railway tracks and her mother looked for him everywhere but couldn't find him. He lived in a children's home in Calcutta before being adopted by an Australian couple and moved to Australia. There he soon learned English and forgot hindi. This is why this movie's name is Lion according to me as the main character's real name was "Sheru" which means lion in hindi.
I've never cried for a movie until I watched this one, I just could not hold my tears, so emotional, the family bond is everything, the love we have for our relatives is most important thing in our lives
What a movie! Cried like a kid. What an acting by That kid, dev and Nicole Kidman. Whether you are an Aussie or Indian, this movie will teach you that love is all we need. Brilliant flick.
One of the greatest stories i have ever heard. I can imagine if i was only 5 years old and lost. I dont know how i could have handled it. And to be sent to another country far away with the miracle of finding my way back home. It is truly unbelievable.
I have just watched this..Same story happend with a family I know..the son lost and returned to his mother when he was young..his mother never left that place with holding a hope that one day her lost son ll come back to them .. everyone garlanded the mother and that man and everyone was having rear to see their reunion ..I could not stop crying while watching the reunion..My regards to the entire team..Thank You
Wow. This one actually looks to be well worth seeing. Most of the movies that are coming out lately seem to be more about shocking the audience. This one looks meaty. Lots of depth and I love a true story.
The fact that the biological mother lost both her sons on the same night knowing of them had died and the other is lost at age 5 in India out of all places in the mid 80's must've been traumatising for her. I do wish he got to see his brother again ♥
I am adopted and always thought I was indifferent to my heritage. But was I wrong. After watching this movie I felt things I didn't know I could feel. Brilliant movie needless to say I bawled my eyes out
Hi! Im from Dominican Republic and i recommend you at least to try to find your family. The island is not that big and if Saroo could find his family in India, you have chances as well in this small island. I wish you all the best
When I walked out of the theatre yesterday I was in chock after watching what is probably one of the greatest movie I’ve seen. I walked on the Normandy beach trying to get my thoughts back together. I felt like telling everyone out on the shore: ‘ Go and see LION; That film could change your life!’ Now I am even more eager to get back on the plane Thursday for Phnom Penh!
I'm a parent. When movies come to talking about poor, lost and adopted kids, god, it makes me cry. Saroo, I'm glad you finally met your biological mother.
in 22 yrs of my life ...i have never got emotional for such a long time as this movie made me to do so...the story,brilliant acting by the little by,fine direction,music ...all can make yr eyes fill with tears those who hav'nt watched the movie yet
Bam Itz Millie actually he did call himself saroo but that is wrong he later realized that he was pronouncing him name wrong it was Sheru which means...Lion.
I loved this movie no matter what others say. It doesn't show india in a bad light, it shows reality. The makers have tried their best to show respect to our culture by even skipping love scenes.
I just watched the movie, and I have to admit, this is by far one of the best films I've ever seen. It literally got my heart broken in so many scenes. Incredible screenplay and incredible acting. Plus, my heart is in pieces knowing that many children, all around the world, go through such pain and trouble. May we all be able to help ease the pain of such children and families.
feel deep pain for the heart of this mother that lost her two sons that night she never moved away from that place even though she couldnt live there anymore she lived close by just so that one day she could see her son again... waheguruji maer kro
I am from Calcutta..i generally stay miles away from my parents... the longing for your loved ones can really be painful..I just got done watching this movie and it has awaken some real emotions in me..I just cant stop crying !!! Love is powerful thing !!! Its one of the best movies i have watched i think !!!
In my adult life I have never cried not even a single tear but I was weeping throughout this movie. very touching story, my eyes are even watery from watching this trailer.
I experienced so many emotions during this movie, and I'm not ashamed to say that as a 31-year-old rugby union player, the waterworks flowed during the very last scene when the brothers walked along the railway tracks.
Polpiv4tifish im 34 and balled so hard and hugged my brother.. film gives hope in humanity.....but oh his brother I cried for him the most. ...to die without ever finding his little brother...and the mom suffering the losses....but he did find peace.....beautiful beautiful film
That because the West will only give him roles of Indians pains or black pain, did you see how mad they got at the suggestion of Idris Elba as James Bond or a black Dr who? Yeah, he not going to be playing father Christmas anytime soon. Atleast in the white Western movie industry. Huh?
Dylan Lollar I get that but, why not star in something other than a drama where he needn't require to be "Indian guy". It's generally what's he is in. Would rather see him now in some horror or action or something.
Saroo was one of the lucky ones. It was beautiful that their adopted family took him in. Very touching. With the reunion of the biological mum, saroo and adopted mum at the end. Powerful and touching.
I just found out what happened to his brother Guddu. His mother said that Guddu's body was found one month after her two sons went missing that same night (his body was found on the train track). They never found out how he died, his arm was broken & one of his eyes was missing (maybe someone pushed him & he fell?). So Guddu could have died before Sorroo even woke up on the bench, that might explain why Guddu never came back to get him or Guddu was busy looking for his little brother and got hit by a train? so the mother has lost two sons that night.
Annie W yes another possibility how he got hit by the train was he was getting off the track just it was too late and he was hit by a train. I thought of this because I also read A Long Way Home and Saroo says that when h went back to India he saw the trains come into the stations really fast and so thought maybe it hit Guddu while he was on the track and it was to late.
Annie W It's literally written at the end of the film that Guddu was hit by a train the same night he told saroo to wait for him. No need to speculate y'all.
Sylvia Lankai I've never cried after watching a movie. Well I guess you should never say never. The scene at the end of the film was an absolute tear-jerker. 😖
I've never heard of this story/ movie until ray william johnson showed it on his video. But now I'm so scared to watch it because I know I'm going to cry. This Biopic Movie will get me emotional all over gain like it was when I first watched The Green Mile in 2021. I better bring tissues watching this indeed.
![Eminem - Houdini [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
The kid actor at the beginning of the movie its the one that deserves the Oscar!!!
true
Yaaa really
Onta Mi chuleta! So true man
Yes, honestly I only like the kid's part, the only part I like about grown Saroo is his reunion with his mother n sis
True
I am indian, and this question is for indians who pissed off and giving wrong comments, this is based on true story so they are showing what really the story is, not showing poor india. What they do if that guy who lost was not billionaire but poor, and this is the bitter truth about our country. When indian dramas and cinema shows huge mansions and rich families then you say why they are always rich in films, and when someone show you the truth, you get pissed. We are poor and rich, we are educated and uneducated, we are perfect and imperfect, but in our heart we are indians, and proud to be an indian, and we always praise if something is good, never say bad words.
Right. The guy's parents in real life were poor. Do these guys want directors to go back in time and make them rich.
Well said, Sobi Pat. People are so quick to hate on a film without knowing the facts!
Yep! Agreed with you, it's getting annoying that this Indians keep bashing every little thing that's coming out.
I could not agree more.

Really rare cases.. we know what majority acts in Hollywood movies.
I decided I will adopt a child in the future after watching this film . A child that needs home
Thanks. To god that we hv ppl like u in this world....whole heartedly i wish u achieve everything in your life whatever u wish and want to have...may god bless u with lots and loads happiness and more values like u do hv now
but have your own one , to bring more one to life

Kuch b
Only easy to say dude. It's very much unlikely of anyone to do it.
i was adopted at age 3. I'm going back to Honduras this year.
it's been 26 years. I will go back at age 29.
i need too.. To complete my life..
Have a safe trip and I hope that u find what u look for, God bless!
I wish you the very best. I am adopted and did the same. I'm glad I did and I hope that your experience will be positive too.

He's one of my favorite actor.
Nope
No SHIT, Sherlock !!
yes
They should make a movie about his mother. She lost both her sons. Just can't imagine what she might have been through.
Yes I was thinking that too. In one day she lost both of her sons. Unbelievable
She searched for saroo for years, travelling on trains. I can't imagine the guilt saroo feels.

I feel like this one of those movies you watch at home with best friends that you're okay with them seeing you cry because you will all be *bawling*.
Or some people would hide in theatres or be seated far away from others. These might be the same people that leave early when the closing credits roll.
I cry alone and on the darkness (Seriously)
i was smiling with tears!
I totally agree. This story will touch your heart so deep that you will feel your on the journey with him. I couldn't stop crying. Great story :_)

I am Ecuadorian and I lost my oldest brother in a bad accident like Saroo. It made my cry remembering my brother.
He is there mate. Right with you. Whenever you remember him.

sorry to hear that. he's always with you.
Thank god he is die 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry ,so sad😢
always got my tears when little Saroo call Guddu..
omg... yes
rush wahab 😭😭😭
me too
Gudduuuuuuu 😢
Lol me too
While he's remembering things from 25 years ago, I'm still trying to remember what shirt I wore yesterday.
سکس
Just remember it took him almost 4 years to do so
You don't remember your childhood?
I mean if you were in such extreme situations you would remember some part of it.
Lay off the blunt
I'm adopted from Romania and a few months ago, I found my entire birth family with six of my siblings. This weekend, my (adoptive) mother and I are going to watch this movie together because I don't think she understands the longing an adoptee has for finding where they come from. I've seen this movie before but put it in the back of my head because it was triggering not ever thinking I would actually find my natural family. It's only right to watch this after my support systems have said to me "You've had a whole Lion moment". Love this movie, and LOVEE Dev. So easy on the eyes
Congrats for the reunion it must have felt so good
I walked around India from 1973 - 87 without money. I was fed every day, and no one ever tried to harm me. Deva was my name.
I'd love to hear your story, were you adopted too?
Omg
They are a very spirtual people
Plz will you talk to me
Yet the western media portays india a barbaric,savage nation. They ignore that 1 or 2 isolated incidents dont define a nation of 1.4 billio
I don't understand how Dev was nominate for Best Supporting Actor. He's not a sidekick or anything. He's the protagonist. The main character. Of his own movie. The Oscars are messed up.
I'd say the little kid. He absolutely stole this movie with his performance. I personally think he was robbed of a nomination
Harris Highlights true, he was phenomenal
Ariel Joote well let's see. his chances on going up and winning the best actor against Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea) Denzel Washington (fences), not gonna happen. So I think it's pretty smart they decided to nominate him for the best supporting actor. The young Saroo being given 50 minutes of the screen time in a 2 hour movie.
I too have the same question..why was Dev Patel nominated for Best Supporting Actor?
***** never give up by sia
Dev Patel has a monopoly on all the Indian roles in Hollywood
+overfiendavi1 lol Ben Kingsley
I thought It was Irfan Khan .
Dr. Tenma is looking for you
how the hell u woke up at the end , and where did you go you monster!
we need answers Johan...
1 of the biggest mistakes was watching this movie before going to bed. 😭. You'll sleep with a heavy heart
Watching it rn (and crying)
@@myterracejungle will you recommend it to me?
@@arpitshivhare217 yes sir.
@@myterracejungle why you are calling me with sir?
Yup
The boy who played young Saroo deserves all the awards and accolades. Absolutely HEARTBREAKING performance. Had me crying the entire time
Holy crap... what an amazing movie. And obviously, Dev Patel is an amazing actor. But that little kid... goddamn.... what a brilliant performance.
and he was not even nominated for Supporting Actor. WTF????????????
The little kid truly owned the movie!!!
It's simply amazing.
It's hard to have no sorrows...

5 weeks and I still can't get this story off my mind. It kills me to know things like this happen everyday and kids are homeless with no family
Sasha Trejo the same feeling :(
Sasha Trejo i'm running out of tears it really made me sad the fact that i have a place where i'm safe..i eat..i sleep nd kids r out there in the streets...it kills
Sasha Trejo I feel you
I think I am going to have the same.. just watched it on Netflix
X.Ø VICIOUS I remember the scene where the children who were being kidnapped from the train station. That scene was somewhat horrifying to me 😯
Dev Patel was outstanding in this movie. So was the little boy who played the young Sahroo. He was AMAZING! I completely felt his pain. I just wanted to pull him through the screen and hug and love on him. The ache as a mother to see that baby lost and fighting to stay alive, to being adopted and to see him thrive as a young man but still feeling a part of his life missing. I cried in agony and I cried for joy. Nicole Kidman was wonderful as the mother. I've watched this movie over and over. It's a must see for me.
I am a adopted child from Kazakhstan my parents are from Belgium. So we were going to watch a movie and they asked me if I wanted to watch this and they said are you sure and I said yes, so we watched it and when it was done I was crying a lot because I also wanted to find my parents who are from Kazakhstan and then I realize that I was just a baby and that I have no memory of me seeing my mother and my father from Kazakhstan. Believe it or not, this is real. Vik Van Hees
A brilliant movie and Dev Patel deserves an Oscar for this !!!!!!!!
Robin LaBouche agreed
Not him. The kid deserves it! The kid does not even know how naturally he played it.
Robin LaBouche tough competition..
you have maharshala Ali at the other end who has won practically every best supporting actor this year..
And Marashala won
Fathia Abukar yep he did. I was rooting for Dev too
This movie destroyed me emotionally. Absolutely phenomenal.
Jack R yeah same here
Same!
very sad movie.
Completely agree. I’m an emotional person naturally but this destroyed me. I was shaking after the movie.
I‘m adopted too and i grew up in Switzerland🇨🇭. I can tell you, i cried 90% of the time watching this movie. Just thinking about saroo makes me emotional. If you want to see the movie take a big hanky! Or a lot of hankies🙈
Sheru
Best movie ever, it's so emotional and pure ❤️🥺 Guddu was saroo's angel in all his way back home
This wasn't a movie.. this was and is someone's life.. never cried so much at a "movie".. the tears still burn my eyes..
I'm from Melbourne and Dev Patel's Australian accent is better than mine
yea. i agree
Ayush Chaturvedi Very. It’s extremely convincing. I’m Australian too and he really nailed it. He actually sounds like he was born here. Rare for foreign actors to pull it off that well.
that is because you are not a real australier but an occupier
aprilblenk he is British, shouldn’t be that difficult for him.
That's hilarious 😂
i cried my eyes out on this movie. For gudu, for Soroo for Sheila for the mother's broken heart.
im from Iran and i was also lost for few hours when i was a child. i know how terrifying it can be. I was very lucky i came across this extremely kind family that brought me to their home, they fed me and called the police to get help. i was in the safety of their house playing with their children until cops arrived. the family were investigating until they made sure i was returned back to my own family. it only took about few hours and i was reunited with my parents and siblings.
with all the support i had i was still terrified to my teeth and bones. i cant imagine what Soroo had gone through 😖😭 poor little child but a really smart one 💛 thank you for going back trying to find your sweet mother
I cried so much when watching this movie.....the saddest part is his brother guddu didn't have chance to meet his little brother saroo....before he died,he might be living with regret that he had lost his little brother.... I love this Australian couple who had adopted saroo.....
I don't think I ever cried this much watching a movie. Nicole Kidman's performance in this movie just broke my heart.
"What was she like?"
*"Beautiful"*
Boaaa
😊
Comment "Beautiful "
mans be objectifying women left and right u'kno
God bless those people who adopt homeless children not just bcoz they can't make one but also bcoz they can feel how bad/hard and harsh things are there for these innocent
I'm adopted myself (adopted out of eastern Europe as a baby, abandoned a few days after I was born). this movie hits the emotions SO HARD. They captured what it's liked being adopted SO WELL and how your quest for finding your birth family can easily turn into a complete obsession.
omg this little boy is the cutest boy EVER
JIN Stan I know!! I just want to hug him tight and protect him from everything.
JIN Stan can't believe I also met an army here!
ARMY R EVERYWHERE :::::
JIN Stan Omg Army 😂 we are millions
Omg wow hi armys I'm a jin stan and I love all 7 pabos 😂 but I'm EXO-L 😊
the real name of the character which Dev is playing was "Sheru Munshi Khan" Sheru or sher is called "lion" in English and he wasn't from Calcutta but Madhya Pradesh where he used live with his brother and mother after being left by his father. The train in which he slept took him to Hawra In Calcutta which is why he thinks his hometown to be Calcutta. His brother was found dead on railway tracks and her mother looked for him everywhere but couldn't find him. He lived in a children's home in Calcutta before being adopted by an Australian couple and moved to Australia. There he soon learned English and forgot hindi. This is why this movie's name is Lion according to me as the main character's real name was "Sheru" which means lion in hindi.
You basically spoiled the movie while trying to explain the name of the movie....
nooooo dont spoil it :(
dont give away the plot please...atleast write "spoiler alert"!!!!
Lol sorry all.
her brother died ? damn
I've never cried for a movie until I watched this one, I just could not hold my tears, so emotional, the family bond is everything, the love we have for our relatives is most important thing in our lives
Thanks to australian couple, you are god in face of human, god bless you both❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏
This Guy is going For Oscar One Day.
Watch The Man Who Knew Infinity.
TRUE...
Watch chappie too
Might be this year. He is a phenomenal actor with great range.
Watched it yesterday! Good movie! Any movie he's in is gold!
I agree. He is growing tons
now that's how a trailer should be. watching it for this one
*out
I love his long hair style because it was actually representing a Lion.
Actually, now that I think about it, his hair did resemble a lion’s main.
I'm a 28 year old woman this movie really touched me so deep in my heart there are no words🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
I don't know but this is only a trailer but why am I crying like shit
seriously..
Looks decent :)
That one punched me in the feels too... :)
search for saroo brierley
this happened in 2011-12
getting analed while watching this...
What a movie! Cried like a kid. What an acting by That kid, dev and Nicole Kidman. Whether you are an Aussie or Indian, this movie will teach you that love is all we need. Brilliant flick.
Just saying but my family’s Indian and I was raised in Australia not adopted but I’m gonna watch the movie now
One of the greatest stories i have ever heard. I can imagine if i was only 5 years old and lost. I dont know how i could have handled it. And to be sent to another country far away with the miracle of finding my way back home. It is truly unbelievable.
I have just watched this..Same story happend with a family I know..the son lost and returned to his mother when he was young..his mother never left that place with holding a hope that one day her lost son ll come back to them .. everyone garlanded the mother and that man and everyone was having rear to see their reunion ..I could not stop crying while watching the reunion..My regards to the entire team..Thank You
Beautiful movie. The acting of little Sunny Pawar, Saroo, has tore my heart. Dev Patel deserves all awards.
Wow. This one actually looks to be well worth seeing. Most of the movies that are coming out lately seem to be more about shocking the audience. This one looks meaty. Lots of depth and I love a true story.
Absolutely worth seeing, the story is amazing
The fact that the biological mother lost both her sons on the same night knowing of them had died and the other is lost at age 5 in India out of all places in the mid 80's must've been traumatising for her. I do wish he got to see his brother again ♥
She had 3 sons. Gudu, Kalu, Sheru (Saroo). She lost two sons (temporarely), not both.
I didn't catch that the brother died that night. What happened to him?

I am adopted and always thought I was indifferent to my heritage. But was I wrong. After watching this movie I felt things I didn't know I could feel. Brilliant movie needless to say I bawled my eyes out
Am adopted too
I was adopted from the Dominican Republic this movie gives me hope for finding my family one day :) Truly inspiring story!
Hi! Im from Dominican Republic and i recommend you at least to try to find your family. The island is not that big and if Saroo could find his family in India, you have chances as well in this small island. I wish you all the best
It’s up to you my sister. Make the choice. It’s what you want in your
Life. Good luck!
I hope you listen to Yanil Castillo and it all works out for you. Good luck :)
Did u make any progress?? Did u find them?
Molly Sapadin best wishes from the Dominican Republic
When I walked out of the theatre yesterday I was in chock after watching what is probably one of the greatest movie I’ve seen. I walked on the Normandy beach trying to get my thoughts back together. I felt like telling everyone out on the shore: ‘ Go and see LION; That film could change your life!’ Now I am even more eager to get back on the plane Thursday for Phnom Penh!
I'm a parent. When movies come to talking about poor, lost and adopted kids, god, it makes me cry. Saroo, I'm glad you finally met your biological mother.
in 22 yrs of my life ...i have never got emotional for such a long time as this movie made me to do so...the story,brilliant acting by the little by,fine direction,music ...all can make yr eyes fill with tears those who hav'nt watched the movie yet
Is that really ya surname? 😂😂😂😂
Ive never cried so hard,
everyone in the cinema cried
I cried so hard towards the end when Sheru found his mum. Dev did a good job and so is Nicole Kidman.
Kyant T Saroo*
you obviously didnt watch the ending then
Al Nawras He called himself Saroo. Even look him up. He's known as Saroo. I have watched the movie.
Bam Itz Millie actually he did call himself saroo but that is wrong he later realized that he was pronouncing him name wrong it was Sheru which means...Lion.
Kyant T You don't think I know that ? 😑
I loved this movie no matter what others say. It doesn't show india in a bad light, it shows reality. The makers have tried their best to show respect to our culture by even skipping love scenes.
Everyone talking about his acting skills
Nobody is talking about how accurate his aussie accent is
It's kind of like reverse Slumdog Millionaire. He's at the top with a nice family, and then tries to go back to slums.
0 out of 10.
Poo in the loo.
he was poor initially but its true this is human tendency
nice
***** you think everyone is fucked up in brain?
I just watched the movie, and I have to admit, this is by far one of the best films I've ever seen. It literally got my heart broken in so many scenes. Incredible screenplay and incredible acting. Plus, my heart is in pieces knowing that many children, all around the world, go through such pain and trouble. May we all be able to help ease the pain of such children and families.
Where did u watch it
@@Shreyapal_12 bit late but it's on Netflix
@@jurjenbrojjj cnt see it in netflix 😭
Even I think the same🙂🌿
feel deep pain for the heart of this mother that lost her two sons that night she never moved away from that place even though she couldnt live there anymore she lived close by just so that one day she could see her son again... waheguruji maer kro
This is the only movie I remembered, out of all the movies I watched on the plane, half asleep
I am from Calcutta..i generally stay miles away from my parents... the longing for your loved ones can really be painful..I just got done watching this movie and it has awaken some real emotions in me..I just cant stop crying !!! Love is powerful thing !!! Its one of the best movies i have watched i think !!!
ya'll should watch The Man Who Knew Infinity if you like Dev
good but not great.
i thought it was great tho
yep thats a great movie!!
it was meh to be honest. movie didn't have a good ending.
in reality it was even worse...........rip ramanujan
The only movie that ever made me cry as a man.
Emotional and Heartwrenching!
In my adult life I have never cried not even a single tear but I was weeping throughout this movie. very touching story, my eyes are even watery from watching this trailer.
Dev Patel such an underrated actor
I experienced so many emotions during this movie, and I'm not ashamed to say that as a 31-year-old rugby union player, the waterworks flowed during the very last scene when the brothers walked along the railway tracks.
His brother dies...
hahaha liar
Polpiv4tifish im 34 and balled so hard and hugged my brother.. film gives hope in humanity.....but oh his brother I cried for him the most. ...to die without ever finding his little brother...and the mom suffering the losses....but he did find peace.....beautiful beautiful film
Never cried watching a trailer. God is so good 🙏 I'm so happy for this man & his family
This is literally one of the best movies you will ever watch in your entire life and beyond!!!!!!!!!!
Majority of his roles are him being an Indian guy
That because the West will only give him roles of Indians pains or black pain, did you see how mad they got at the suggestion of Idris Elba as James Bond or a black Dr who? Yeah, he not going to be playing father Christmas anytime soon. Atleast in the white Western movie industry. Huh?
I mean, it makes sense... As he is an Indian guy...
Well it'd be kinda weird if they made him play a Mexican or a Nigerian or some shit.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Dylan Lollar I get that but, why not star in something other than a drama where he needn't require to be "Indian guy". It's generally what's he is in. Would rather see him now in some horror or action or something.
Not a bad Australian accent by Dev. I'm impressed.
Australian parents are angels. love from INDIA
I’ve never cried over a movie this was my first time and the actors were amazing
I cried about 3 times during this movie. Really loved it
me 2 frnd
if u see my bank account, u will cried a month
+Goku supersaiya, what do you mean
@@nicholasmathew9600 i think he meant he's poor and you would cry after seeing his bank account empty lol
I came from Google Earth :P
Same
I don't know how many times I have cried while watching this movie... Literally Heart Throbbing movie. I have got the goosebumps.
This is hands down one of the best movies of all time. It deserved an oscar for best film!
poor Guddu.
end of tears😭😢
Anyone worried about spoilers should prob not be reading comments about a movie before they watch a movie.
This guy looks like an Indian John Snow. I'm watching this :D
You haven't seen Slumdog Millionaire? Same dude, just younger. Great actor
Kaillyne Haha .. Indian john snow..agree :-)
Saroo was one of the lucky ones. It was beautiful that their adopted family took him in. Very touching. With the reunion of the biological mum, saroo and adopted mum at the end. Powerful and touching.
I remember seeing this movie trailer on the tv. I never watched the movie but when I saw the trailer in 2017, 7 year old me was crying so hard.
I just found out what happened to his brother Guddu. His mother said that Guddu's body was found one month after her two sons went missing that same night (his body was found on the train track). They never found out how he died, his arm was broken & one of his eyes was missing (maybe someone pushed him & he fell?). So Guddu could have died before Sorroo even woke up on the bench, that might explain why Guddu never came back to get him or Guddu was busy looking for his little brother and got hit by a train? so the mother has lost two sons that night.
heartbreaking.
Annie W yes another possibility how he got hit by the train was he was getting off the track just it was too late and he was hit by a train. I thought of this because I also read A Long Way Home and Saroo says that when h went back to India he saw the trains come into the stations really fast and so thought maybe it hit Guddu while he was on the track and it was to late.
Annie W It's literally written at the end of the film that Guddu was hit by a train the same night he told saroo to wait for him. No need to speculate y'all.
Bordock Dasack Guddu
i finished the movie right now and i'm crying so hard damn it hurts
who is here after watching lion
Mohamed Ali really
Me!
valerijs rogozins ohhh sorry for all that you went through in life
me....
Sylvia Lankai I've never cried after watching a movie. Well I guess you should never say never. The scene at the end of the film was an absolute tear-jerker. 😖
Who is watching it in 2020
The movie is awesome
I literally cry whole movie 😢😢😢
I've never heard of this story/ movie until ray william johnson showed it on his video. But now I'm so scared to watch it because I know I'm going to cry. This Biopic Movie will get me emotional all over gain like it was when I first watched The Green Mile in 2021. I better bring tissues watching this indeed.
