Not just a story about a lost boy and Google - It's a potential Oscar contender

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2017)

When I watched this movie, it was rather unplanned. Rather to kill time.But, boy! was I in for a surprise. Almost half of the movie is non English , but the powerful portrayal by a relatively unknown kid actor and than the accomplished actors like Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman completely raises the film to new heights. The film engrosses you from the very beginning – A different world from what we know in the west, but yet the same emotions of love between brothers, how a separation cannot be forgotten and how incredibly a technology which we now use rather ubiquitously can be used to re-connect lost bonds. But then the story is much much more than that. The emotions, the motivation and love for the son which connects the two mothers. The journey itself cannot be expressed but needs to be watched on the big screen. Actually , my decision to select this movie while I was in the theatre was because I chanced on an answer to Quora, as I typed each movie's name and the actor in search on google.

Yes, Oscar contender – definitely. I wonder who though? Looks like all of the actors and the movie deserves the award.
