Lion is a movie about a little boy who is 5 years old, that gets lost in a little town called Ganesh Talai. The little is called Saroo (Sunny Parwar), he wanted to go work with his older brother called Guddu, he goes with Guddu and gets lost in a train. The young protagonist then got sent to a an orphan because he couldn’t find his mother. He stayed at the orphan for a bit, then he got adopted by two Australian people, so he went to a city called Tasmania in Australia. 25 years later, he misses his mum and try remember where he lived in India by the help of Google Maps. When he found it, he left everything behind and goes straight away to India to see his mum. At first he didn’t find it, in that case he asked for help and a man helped him. When he saw his mum after 25 years they both started crying. Saroo asked his mum where was his brother Guddu and his mum said that he died, at the time he was sad but happy. I like the actors in the movie, they’re very professional. My favourite actor in this movie is Saroo (Sunny Parwar) . I really recommend this film to anybody because it’s incredible, I like the actors, the locations, the soundtrack and the plot because it’s a real story.
