There are films that touch our souls and remain in our hearts for the rest of our life and this one belongs to that category.

The film is based on true events.It is the story of Saroo,a five year old Indian boy (Sunny Pawar) who get lost in the streets of Kolkata.He is adopted by an Australian couple.When he grow up ,Saroo(Dev Patel),tries to find out about his mother and brother.But he got no information about them,other than his childhood memories.This is the story of that man,who was not ready to give up.He tries to track down the location using Google maps

This is an emotional story and deals with the themes of love and loss.Also,it shows the life of the poor people of our country and it is kind of shocking.

All the actors were brilliant in their roles.But the gem among them is the kid,Sunny Pawar.Even after the headset is removed,his sound still echoes in ears.

There are so many emotional scenes in the film.But for me,the one where Saroo meets his mother again is the point where the tears started flooding down the eyes.Before the credits rolls,we will be able to see the real people on whom the story is based.

I went straight to my mother and hugged her after watching the movie.That is how deep this has touched me.A great watch..

End of the day,it feels good to know that there is still some goodness left in this world.
