Emotionally effective drama that does sometimes feel like two separate movies. However, Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman are great, delivering excellent performances. Newcomer Sunny Pawar is immediately endearing to the audience as the young Saroo who makes his harrowing and often frightening journey though the dark streets of Calcutta as a lost child. Patel plays an older Saroo who is compelled to retrace his roots and reunite with his Indian family with the assistance of his adoptive family (mother played by Kidman).
