I know this movie touched a lot of people. A lot of you felt the emotional connection between him and his brother and mother. 90% of the cinema I was in left in tears, including myself. But it was more than just the story for me. I felt such an amazing connection to the young adult Saroo, because his acting was everything I've ever felt. I'm an adopted child who still hasn't met his mother and brother, and I'm around his age. I can honestly say I've never cried this much in my entire life. The feelings he portrayed, the pain he went through, the haunting thoughts, the feeling that constantly reminds you that you can't forget - yet you still make yourself think about it less... But sometimes, you can't help it. In those cases, you don't sleep, you don't function as others expect you to. You feel distant, closed inside your own head, with no way out. Then it sets in. The fear of the unknown. Not knowing what you'll find when you do return. The one line in the movie which struck me the most is one said by his adoptive mother. After he admitted to his mother that he had been trying to find his village, her words absolutely broke me. She said: "Oh Saroo. I really hope she's still there. She needs to see what a beautiful young man you've become." Absolutely gut wrenching. Amazing movie, amazing cast, and an even more incredible story.
I am adopted as well and I cried throughout the entire movie. I feel like I can hardly even review it because my eyes were watering the whole time. And at the end I sobbed uncontrollably when everyone else was leaving the theatre. You definitely weren't the only one who felt such a personal connection with this story. I hope that someday you find your biological family as Saroo did.
James Houghton-Brown it is the soundtrack. The "score/soundtrack"-differentiation only comes into play when there are two albums available, one with songs and one with the original instrumental music
I think one of the best films of the year. Everything about it was spectacular; photography, story, acting, music. It was stunning. Tore your heart out.
This is the type of movie that can make you cry, but above all, can teach you about life. Watching the movie I could remember my home, my city, my friends, my street, my family. And the little Sunny Pawar, the kid that plays young Saroo, is an amazing actor. He was amazing during entire movie.
Non mi vergogno di dire quante sono state le lacrime che mi sono scivolate giù, durante la programmazione; film e colonna sonora di rara bellezza e di grande coinvolgimento emotivo!
I thought I was the only one crying throughout the movie. I am in absolute awe with this film's direction, cinematography, acting, score and everything that I forgot.
This movie had an impact on my whole life and my thinking.I feel like I want to change something about this world. I have a good heart and will use it to help people. Honestly this soundtrack speaks to my soul it's incredible.
One of the most powerful movies i have ever seen.***** . A big standing ovation to Sunny Pawar....Never knew i could cry in a movie. Dev Patel is excellent as well but the kid just stole my heart.
I was a foster mum to 13 different little ones ages 0-3. They were all adopted, or returned to unsafe homes, and I miss them everyday. I cried very hard during the whole film. To all those who are adopted please know that you are loved.
I don't rememver the last time I admired a movie in its entirety as I did with Lion. literally perfect; from script to performance to music...you don't cry because it's a sad moving story but because you somehow know how they feel ..just perfect.
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 more of them periodically throughout the movie...
Alex same feeling. on the verge of tears for most of the movie, something that rarely ever happens to me. i think more people should see this movie. havent seen any reviews from chris stuckmann or jeremy jahns
After watching this movie, my 15 year old son came home and learned it by ear, it still moves me to tears. Truly beautiful piece and and magnificent movie.
I took the daughter (12 years-old) of a friend of mine to see this great film with me. I told her it's the amazing story of a boy in search of his family and roots but not a story for children because it's so sad. Yes, it's so sad but full of hope for humanity. Greetings from Switzerland
Probably the most moving and emotional movie i've ever seen. I thought it really deserved an Oscar. La La Land was fun and all but this movie and soundtrack was at a totally different level.
Saw the movie today, cried my head off. Amazing story, we should all be happy that we got to live in a good place. We should all be thankful for what we've got, even if we don't have things that other people have. I learned that having a phone or a big house is not important, having a family is the most important thing. If you read this comment, than remember that you are loved and remember that you have people who care even if you are not there.
Oh boy, what a powerful soundtrack!!! Emotions are written on all over my face while listening to this. And this didn't win an Oscar. neither the movie. so sad.
This piece is a great example how an excellent soundtrack enhance the movie and moves it to an upper tier, also making it memorable. When I listen to this piece, I remember the whole plot in a blink.
richard courchene with having adopted children herself, she was the perfect choice. I would argue that she was the best actor in the film even with her limited screen time.
I would say ultimately the film is so much about the power of mothers whether they are biological or adopted and the need for a mother and the way in which we can all mother different people at different times - Nicole Kidman
Je comprends que du moment où son frère meurt (à la gare) le petit Saroo est guidé comme si son frère était à ses cotés et qu'il l'incitait à s'enfuir par exemple quand il se retrouve en situation dangereuse. Plus tard encore Saroo est continuellement attiré, poussé à retourner vers sa mère qui a perdu ses deux fils la même journée finalement. Un film sur l'appel de l'âme.....Magnifique!
whenever this track came on, id get really emotional. And when it played near the end of the film, just like at the beginning, all the memories could be easily put back into my mind. Tracks like these are really powerful and important when it comes to telling a story.
This is how we seek God...Our lost home, our lost paradise... This movie, this story is amazing. I would listen to this soundtrack for hours. Masterpiece.
This movie had me tearing up right until the end, then I couldn't hold it in any longer. I haven't cried that hard in years, let alone over a movie. Absolute masterpiece.
simply beautiful...i have a little toddler and cant begin to imagine what I would do if i lost her and more so, what she would be going through all alone so young. its heartbreaking to know this happened...the music in this really lifts every tiny hair on your body, heart renching but equally as beautiful .
Yeah I agree with others, the film was beautiful. The ache for home, for his mum and brother was palpable, played fantastically by Dev Pattel. He's got my respect! And even Nicole Kidman did a good job I thought. For some reason her performance was also palpable; I got a sense of what she smelled like. Weird, ay? Yeah. Weird! Great film, 5 stars, and the music has brought me here so it's clearly fantastic too!
This piece gives me such intense nostalgic feelings: Memories of sitting in the movie theater with family members, that familiar aroma of buttered popcorn filling the air, the usual bag of M&Ms and medium sized fruit punch in my hands, that awesome stretch you get when you stand up with the credits rolling and another piano piece playing. Movie theaters hold some of my best life memories, and one of my greatest fears is that they will one day become obsolete.
A fantastic score, perfectly suited for an equally fantastic movie. The performances were stellar, the story compelling. I often write with this music in the background.
I couldn't stop crying. The movie and music touched my soul so immense deep........Stopped breathing when Sharoo was united with his mam. Thank you so much! It was wonderful.
Warm greetings from Poland. I read the book, I want to see the movie, listen to this music and I can not comprehend the whole story, how it is moving up to tears
A film korszakalkotó. A zene zseniális. Kötelezővé tenném az iskolákban hamár egymás kulturáját erőltetik. Ez a film minden, amit ember megélhet. Tökéletes. Köszönöm.
Three times I went to the movie theater to watch, in tears, this amazing masterpiece of love and humanity. "True love is loving those that are not from your own blood. I could've had a child but I chose to help someone that truly needed me" This sentence from the movie is engraved in my mind.
Maravillosa película, cada vez que Sunny Pawar decía "Guddu" lloraba. Tiene que ganar si o si. Es una película que simplemente te saca tu lado más humano posible.
The movie was the reality of live in India dont Forget it. The casting is perfect i hope that open the eyes and the heart of our world that we all are childeren of God.
Anche io provengo dall'India ..vedere questo film è stato sensazionale. .l'ho sentito mio ! Nn istante la mia storia sia stata molto diversa ..ho pianto tanto 💕
Un film absolument extraordinaire, avec une bande son hors du commun. Je me suis régalé en le regardant. Très touchant et nous montrant enfin une réalité tant éloignée de nous, dans notre confort dont on a tendance à se plaindre.....et pourquoi? Parce-qu'on n'a pas connu cette réalité visionnée dans ce film, tout simplement. Une remise en question à prévoir peut-être.
I never knew how struggling has the same impact to a child world wide 😭... You forget that sometimes when are are from South Africa, it brought a bit of comfort to my heart though....
I'm just a little late to the party with this one having only watched the film for the first time a week or so ago but wow! What a powerful film and incredible soundtrack 👌🏻
I know this movie touched a lot of people. A lot of you felt the emotional connection between him and his brother and mother. 90% of the cinema I was in left in tears, including myself.

Luka Brščić Thank you for sharing your story. May God bless you and your family 🙏
I hope you find your family. God is with you. Kisses from Spain 😙
I am adopted as well and I cried throughout the entire movie. I feel like I can hardly even review it because my eyes were watering the whole time. And at the end I sobbed uncontrollably when everyone else was leaving the theatre. You definitely weren't the only one who felt such a personal connection with this story. I hope that someday you find your biological family as Saroo did.
Luka Brščić i know how feel about how this is more than just a film to you
@Luka, wishing you will find her one day or meet her in your deepest dreams to satisfy the part you missed. Good luck and life to you.
This soundtrack deserves an Oscar !!!!!
its a score not a soundtrack, and it won't win, La Land will (not saying it should win)
James Houghton-Brown it is the soundtrack. The "score/soundtrack"-differentiation only comes into play when there are two albums available, one with songs and one with the original instrumental music
and even then you can call the score soundtrack
This score is wonderful, but Hurwitz work was something else.
True!!!!
I saw the film with my mother. She adopted me. I was just crying ... I'm so proud of my parents!!!
Here's hoping you find what your looking for. Godspeed
Amazing.
Laser _ It's a gift that I feel so good now .. Thanks to my parents for everything..
Memsy 92 🥺❤️
I bawled my eyes out every time this played in the movie, I couldn't keep my emotions in check, it was just so beautifully executed.
I think one of the best films of the year. Everything about it was spectacular; photography, story, acting, music. It was stunning. Tore your heart out.
ureshiiiiii same here exactly. great movie . touch my heart and mind!
ureshiiiiii That moment when he finds his mother is so beautiful. You can think in how important is your mom for life.
Crikey, at the end I had to pinch myself super hard, concentrate on the women in front's hair, just to stop crying like a baby.
Same! I've seen it a total of five times and I cry every single time
GUDUUUUUUUUU😭😭😭😭
Shab Bhat 😭😭😭
IKKKKKK
Daniel Sheru*
Naiee!
Shab Bhat i cried out loud when they tell him guddu already rest in peace.... i wish i had a brother like guddu. God bless him 🙏🏼
This is the most beautiful movie I've seen in my entire life
This is the type of movie that can make you cry, but above all, can teach you about life. Watching the movie I could remember my home, my city, my friends, my street, my family. And the little Sunny Pawar, the kid that plays young Saroo, is an amazing actor. He was amazing during entire movie.
Beautifully said. I felt the same watching it. Powerful and transcendental.
That young actor deserves recognition as well. He's brilliant.
Non mi vergogno di dire quante sono state le lacrime che mi sono scivolate giù, durante la programmazione; film e colonna sonora di rara bellezza e di grande coinvolgimento emotivo!
Si, veramente😢
Non mi vergogno neanche io. Visto 2-3 volte, ho pianto sempre. C’è stato un periodo nel quale ascoltavo ogni sera queste melodie e piangevo
I cried from the first minute to the last one in this movie. I loved it so much!
I thought I was the only one crying throughout the movie. I am in absolute awe with this film's direction, cinematography, acting, score and everything that I forgot.
sara luzuriaga o thank god i am not the only one 😭❤
It was a phenomenal movie
Same here!
me too :'(
i've played this 42 times today and cry every time
Sophie Pop glad I'm not the only one.
hhh me too
Lucky you. Lucky all of us who can find and also live is this different world!
Sophie...At Least you have feelings of empathy...👍👍🧡💜💛
beautiful song to play on piano I would also cry
This movie moved me tears so many times.....such a powerful and heart wrenching movie and the music was very appropriate. Amazing story.
This movie had an impact on my whole life and my thinking.I feel like I want to change something about this world. I have a good heart and will use it to help people. Honestly this soundtrack speaks to my soul it's incredible.
M
Yes, its true!😢
One of the most powerful movies i have ever seen.***** . A big standing ovation to Sunny Pawar....Never knew i could cry in a movie. Dev Patel is excellent as well but the kid just stole my heart.
I'm a retired Marine, and it made me teary eyed.
I was a foster mum to 13 different little ones ages 0-3. They were all adopted, or returned to unsafe homes, and I miss them everyday. I cried very hard during the whole film. To all those who are adopted please know that you are loved.
iraqidolphin1 Thank God for caring people like you.
Thank you very much. Everyone should help out a child in need. Be a big brother or/Big Sister, volunteer, or donate to a child welfare organization.
I don't rememver the last time I admired a movie in its entirety as I did with Lion. literally perfect; from script to performance to music...you don't cry because it's a sad moving story but because you somehow know how they feel ..just perfect.
truest words
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 more of them periodically throughout the movie...
Sorry, won't do it again
Alex same feeling. on the verge of tears for most of the movie, something that rarely ever happens to me. i think more people should see this movie. havent seen any reviews from chris stuckmann or jeremy jahns
Alex the ending got to me the most
spoilers***
especially when he's walking on the train tracks and sees his younger self playing with Guddu T_T
This movie is a masterpiece
so so beautiful. I can't get enough of this music.
After watching this movie, my 15 year old son came home and learned it by ear, it still moves me to tears. Truly beautiful piece and and magnificent movie.
I took the daughter (12 years-old) of a friend of mine to see this great film with me. I told her it's the amazing story of a boy in search of his family and roots but not a story for children because it's so sad. Yes, it's so sad but full of hope for humanity.
Greetings from Switzerland
lilinparis1 ben en au go luege und er isch super gsi😍😍
It makes me cry every time ... gorgeous film , it's hard to believe it happened to this child .
This soundtrack should have got the Oscar!
Probably the most moving and emotional movie i've ever seen. I thought it really deserved an Oscar. La La Land was fun and all but this movie and soundtrack was at a totally different level.
Julia Guillet ахь нийсам бох
I've never cried so hard to a movie in my entire life :')
Saw the movie today, cried my head off. Amazing story, we should all be happy that we got to live in a good place. We should all be thankful for what we've got, even if we don't have things that other people have. I learned that having a phone or a big house is not important, having a family is the most important thing.
If you read this comment, than remember that you are loved and remember that you have people who care even if you are not there.
So much love from Saudi Arabia ❤️❤️
This movie is amazing. One of the best ever.
think I must have played this a thousand times in the past two weeks. it is brilliant
no movie has ever made me cry like this one did. TOUCHING EMOTIONAL AND BRILLIANT STORY
Oh boy, what a powerful soundtrack!!! Emotions are written on all over my face while listening to this. And this didn't win an Oscar. neither the movie. so sad.
This piece is a great example how an excellent soundtrack enhance the movie and moves it to an upper tier, also making it memorable. When I listen to this piece, I remember the whole plot in a blink.
just saw the film, omg
I love working with children. The way they view the world. They make sure you're authentic - Nicole Kidman
richard courchene
with having adopted children herself, she was the perfect choice. I would argue that she was the best actor in the film even with her limited screen time.
I would say ultimately the film is so much about the power of mothers whether they are biological or adopted and the need for a mother and the way in which we can all mother different people at different times - Nicole Kidman

totally agree, Richard.
fourth time watching the movie. i'm absolutely in love with the soundtrack, and the story it tells.

Carole Tremblay
ah oui dis donc j avais pas pensé à ça !
Guddu veillant sur son frère...
mysteri misteria oui car il devais aller travailler sauf qu'en y allant il s'est fait percuté par un train
Vraiment magnifique ta théorie, j’en toute émue 😥
whenever this track came on, id get really emotional. And when it played near the end of the film, just like at the beginning, all the memories could be easily put back into my mind. Tracks like these are really powerful and important when it comes to telling a story.

This is how we seek God...Our lost home, our lost paradise... This movie, this story is amazing. I would listen to this soundtrack for hours. Masterpiece.
the best movie that I saw in my life...
I love the scene where little Saroo meets his adoptive parents. The music perfectly conveys the tender beauty of his purity and innocence.
Magnifico film....gli interpreti sublimi! grandioso ! Grazie !!!
Un pensiero a tutti coloro che si cercano ancora e ancora !
Send from Roma , Italy
Verissimo! :)
This movie had me tearing up right until the end, then I couldn't hold it in any longer. I haven't cried that hard in years, let alone over a movie. Absolute masterpiece.
Stunning! The film and the music should have won all the Oscars going. So powerful.
Auch nach sechs Jahren ein Film und dessen Musik unter die Haut geht …..❤
This film is so beautiful. I’m crying. I love this music so much. Thank you❤️
I cried so much watching this film, even talking about it after made me cry. It touched me more than any other film has.
Un grand film, plein d'émotion, superbe musique. Un grand moment!!
Oh , what a movie . This soundtrack has emotions written all over it .
One of the most beautiful movies ever made. Incredibly touching story!
The soundtrack is heaven❤️
I loved this movie so much, I ordered the book right after.

In a world where everything seems to be connected, but our souls become more and more isolated ... This film make me feel human again...Thanks
Film splendido, sorprendente e tenera l'interpretazione del bambino. Colonna sonora di tarata efficacia, coinvolgente, struggente: tra le migliori .
This is one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen...
The film was so heart warming
The movie was the reality of live in India dont Forget it. The casting is perfect i hope that open the eyes and the heart of our world that we all are childeren of God.
Anche io provengo dall'India ..vedere questo film è stato sensazionale. .l'ho sentito mio ! Nn istante la mia storia sia stata molto diversa ..ho pianto tanto 💕
THEE best soundtrack of this year's Oscar Best Picture nominations.
Saw it 2x now. Incredible story! A real connection for me as an adopted child.
Un film absolument extraordinaire, avec une bande son hors du commun. Je me suis régalé en le regardant. Très touchant et nous montrant enfin une réalité tant éloignée de nous, dans notre confort dont on a tendance à se plaindre.....et pourquoi? Parce-qu'on n'a pas connu cette réalité visionnée dans ce film, tout simplement. Une remise en question à prévoir peut-être.
Ce film est une vraie claque dans la figure, ça m'a rappelé qu'il y a des priorités dans la vie.
This movie (especially the little Sunny Pawar as Saroo) transported me. I never cried so much. Thank you Mr Davis for filming this amazing story.
October 2018!!! Still listening with the same feelings and new tears... :..((
Mooi emotioneel drama tranen prachtig hartverscheurend verwerkend zo mooi gecomponeerd!
I never knew how struggling has the same impact to a child world wide 😭... You forget that sometimes when are are from South Africa, it brought a bit of comfort to my heart though....
most beautiful soundtrack EVER
i listen to this all the time
This music gives both pain and hope...it gives me the pain of what I had lost and give me the hope of me finding my home....
I just saw the film, and omg this is so powerful and so beautiful I couldn't hold my tears... If you didn't see it yet please do it
I'm agree with you ; )
saw the film, very emotional. one of the best true-story films i've seen, along with captain phillips and the finest hourss
I'm so touched by this movie. The life is very awesome...
I'm just a little late to the party with this one having only watched the film for the first time a week or so ago but wow! What a powerful film and incredible soundtrack 👌🏻
The best movie I've ever seen in 2017... a lot of tears .. 😥😥😥😥

This music reaches across time. Breathtaking. Thank you.
J’ai rarement vu un film aussi beau et aussi bien réalisé.. j’ai pleuré et pas qu’à la fin.. un chef-d’œuvre 👌🏽
Cette musique est tellement belle, touchante et émouvante ! Coup de cœur
I cried like a little boy, or.. like an adult should cry after seeing such beautiful movie like this one. Lion is on my top 5 movies for sure ^^
the little boy Saroo was amazing natural actor
his eyes have all the meaning
I loved him more than the adult one
No words to express the brilliance of this Masterpiece, my emotions wanna play with it forever!
