The story of the film is based on the best-selling book "The Long Way Home". The 5-year-old Saro and his brother were separated when they went out. In order to find his brother, Saro mistakenly got on an unmanned truck from India to neighboring Bangladesh. Little Salo, who was wandering far away from home, felt genuine despair and helplessness. Later, he went to a welfare shelter and was adopted by Tony and Nicole in Australia. After more than 20 years, Salo, who grew up in a superior environment, was suddenly awakened by the memory in his heart and began his long journey home. He experienced inner struggles, and finally, he activated the sleeping lion with his family affection, and finally set foot on the road back to his hometown and embarked on the journey of realizing his dream. The most sincere and selfless maternal love of the two mothers, Salo's adoptive mother and biological mother, is Salo's solid backing and the power to awaken the lion in his heart.

    The director used many long shots to show the coast, desert, and railway tracks of India, which made the audience watch this work as if following the protagonist's mental journey, and also felt the 25 years since the protagonist was away from home. The most touching thing is the brotherhood between Saroo and his brother Guddu. They climbed the train together, walked the train track together, and walked through the countryside together. The beginning and the end echo each other, which is warm and heartbreaking.

    Sunny pawar's performance is so good that I think the devs are overshadowed. The Indian part is great but it's a bit slow, and the Australian part feels mindless at the end. The two mothers hug at the end. It's so touching and amazing. Sheru is hindi for LION ( Dev is so handsome I almost want to cry

    Saroo Brierley: [leaving phone message] Hi, mum. I know you will be sound asleep. I just want to say that I'm safe. Safe and all the questions have been answered. There are no more deadends. I found my mother, and... she thanks you both for raising me. She understands that you are my family. She's... happy, just knowing I'm alive. I found her, but that doesn't change who you are. I love you, mom... so much. And you, Dad. And Mantosh. Saroo.
