Davies wrote a script grounded in the experience of the 5-year-old, Saroo (Sunny Pawar), letting his tragedy unroll from the boy’s own perspective.
The movie does exert a visceral pull and surrounds audiences with its spaciousness and sweep, but I think its accomplishment goes deeper. The director, Garth Davis (who made four episodes of Jane Campion’s miniseries, Top of the Lake), and the screenwriter, Luke Davies (also a novelist and poet), have used adjectives like “epic” and “mythical” to describe their attraction to the material. A nail-biter with no artificiality, filled with sentiment that elicits honest tears, Lion becomes a stirring quest movie when the grownup Saroo Brierley (Dev Patel) embraces a wave of primal feeling and resolves to find his hometown and his birth family. Unable to read or write or to speak Bengali dialect or even to provide his mother’s or his own correct name, he rebounds from the teeming city’s mean streets to a Dickensian orphanage and from there to a loving home on the Australian island of Tasmania, with his adoptive parents Sue and John Brierley (Nicole Kidman and David Wenham). The lion is an apex and keystone predator although some lions scavenge when opportunities occur and have been known to hunt humans, lions typically do not actively seek out and prey on humans.Lion tells the harrowing fact-based story of a 5-year-old boy from an impoverished hamlet in central India who gets separated from his older brother after a train ride to a nearby city and winds up at the chaotic Howrah Station in Kolkata (the former Calcutta), roughly 1600 kilometers away.
Groups of female lions usually hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. A lion's pride consists of a few adult males, related females, and cubs. It is a social species, forming groups called prides. It is sexually dimorphic adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane.
It has a muscular, broad-chested body short, rounded head round ears and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail.
The lion is a large cat of the genus Panthera native to Africa and India.
