Lion, the movie is a biopic of Saroo, a boy lost from a small village in India. He ends up adopted by a sweet family on an island in Australia. The storyline goes by how Saroo gets lost and finds his way back to his family after a long time, conclusively meeting his birth mother.
On one hand, the movie portraits the difference in the life of people in both countries. On the other hand, it depicts the love and care of mothers to their children. It withal attests to the fact that so many children are lost and carried away from their families.
The impact of the movie on the audience was overwhelming. The actors did a great role in not spoiling the mood of the movie.
As in me, I was touched by the mothers' love. I feel that is the only bond that binds everybody to a family. Our mothers, even though they seem to be rude or ignorant, if anything happens to us or even the slightest mood changes are spotted by them. They never give up on us no matter what.
