The protagonist Saroo, gets lost away from home, and is adopted by an Australian family. The acting was amazing and the actors are very skilled and put on a great performance, the raw emotion shown in the film is heartbreaking
The movie shows a lot about situations in India that many don’t know about, the extreme poverty and the child labour, it is a surprising factor that many wouldn’t know since India is known as a rich country.
The acting done by Dev Patel was amazing and the performance was beautiful and I could tell that he really could see himself as the protagonist and he really loved playing this role.
The soundtrack had a big impact on the mood of the film, whenever he was lost the soundtrack really gave across the upsetting mood.
I would recommend this movie to someone who loves a tear jerker and I would mostly recommend it to an adult audience.
