Perhaps one of the
biggest Indian actors ensemble film to release in India on 24th February
At the Toronto
International Film Festival 2016, Lion opened up to rave reviews and even went
onto winning the First Runner Up for the People's Choice Award. Several
critical acclaims later, the film was recently released via a limited release
format in the US and is perhaps one of the strongest contenders in this years
award season being the clear favourite across for several probable categories.
Lion is an Australian-American-British production directed by debutant Garth
Davis and is based of the real life non-fictional book - A Long Way Home by
Saroo Brierley. Boasting of a magnificent lead cast including the likes of Dev
Patel, Nicole Kidman, Sunny Pawar and Rooney Mara, the film also has a stellar
Indian ensemble with names like Priyanka Bose, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Tanishtha
Chatterjee and Deepti Naval playing pivotal roles.
Lion is a real life
story of a young 5 year old boy who by an unfortunate accident finds himself
lost away from home on the streets of Calcutta and struggles his way through
until an Australian couple adopts him. Now in a land far away in Tasmania in
Australia, Saroo begins to find the need to find his real home and sets on a
journey with the help of Google earth to trace back his home. The film was
recently premiered in New York amidst the presence of a magnificent audience
including Bill Clinton.
