A boy is lost in India when he was a child. 25 years later he goes in search of his mother and brother from Australia. The trailer is pretty intriguing too.
It takes about 53 minutes for the back story of the film to come to the present and begin the search. The narration is linear, no flash backs. The pace keeps the interest going. and the trauma of a boy who remembers his past in patches brings up an emotional connection. it is quite an adventure. Sunny Pawar as the younger Saroo is adorable!
It is always the little memories. In case of Saroo (Dev Patel) it is the jalebis/immerthis that rekindle his urgency to get set go in search for his mother and elder brother.
