Absolutely stunning movie, highly recommend!

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2018)

This film has many qualities that makes the movie as a whole not only entertaining and hypnotizing but emotionally captivating. The issues portrayed throughout the film reveal the harsh truths that many Indian families go through and the actors did an excellent job in representing these realities, young actor, Sunny Pawar does an astonishing job dealing with the script. The first act is very authentic which is something extremely different from movies these days, the Hindi language is present in majority of the movie which further makes the Indian culture very present. Dev Patel does an amazing job as he acts as a wounded adult who longs to find his birth mother, brother and sister, the story is emotional draining as you can see the characters hardships and challenges as Saroo searches for his biological family. Overall, the film is personal, enchanting, powerful emotional and intriguing as it puts a lot of focus on the Indian culture which further allows the viewer to discover a unfamiliar country. I highly recommend you see this if you haven't already as it is fantastic and highly captivating.
