Production
This Australian film[5] is based on Saroo Brierley's memoir A Long Way Home.

While writing the screenplay, Screenwriter Luke Davies acknowledged the challenges of adapting a book that is primarily
about an online search.

In October 2014, Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman were cast in the film for the
lead roles, although they were nominated in supporting categories.[7] In "It was finding the right balance of

Sia wrote the song "Never Give Up" for the film which also includes the song "The Sun, The Sand And The Sea" from
songwriter Jimmy Radcliffe and "Urvasi Urvasi" by A R Rahman.[14][15]

The film also includes songs from artists such as Hercules and Love Affair ("Blind"), Mondo Rock ("State of the Heart"),
Enigma ("The Rivers of Belief") and Picturetone Pete and Jimmy Radcliffe ("The Sun the Sand and the Sea"). The ‘Disco
King’ legendary Bappi Lahiri's iconic track ‘Come Closer’ from the movie Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki has been picturised
on Dev Patel in Australia.

Release
The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on 10 September 2016.[16][17][18] It served as
the opening night film at the Zurich Film Festival on 22 September 2016.[19] It also screened at the London Film Festival
on 12 October 2016,[20] and at the Hamptons International Film Festival on 7 and 8 October 2016.[21]

The film was released in the United States on 25 November 2016,[22] in Australia on 19 January 2017,[23] and in the
United Kingdom on 20 January 2017.[24]

Home media
Lion was made available on Digital HD on 28 March 2017, and was then followed by a release on Blu-ray and DVD on 11
April 2017.[25][26] The film debuted at No. 10 on the Top 20 NPD VideoScan chart.[27]

Reception

Box office
Lion grossed $50 million in the United States and Canada and $88.3 million in other countries for a worldwide total of
$140.1 million, against a production budget of $12 million.[3]

In its limited opening weekend in the United States and Canada, the film made $123,360 from four theaters (an average of
$30,840, the highest of the weekend).[28] On the weekend of 17–19 March 2017, Lion crossed the $50 million mark at the
North American box-office, becoming the fifth 2016 film among the Academy Award for Best Picture nominees to surpass
this threshold.[29]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_(2016_film) 4/8
7/28/2019 Lion (2016 film) - Wikipedia

In Australia, it opened at number one with $3.18 million, the biggest opening ever for an Australian indie film, and the
fifth biggest debut for an Australian film overall.[30] It grossed $22.7 million in five weeks,[31] and eventually grossed
$27.729 million as of 13 March 2017, becoming the sixth highest-grossing Australian film ever at the domestic box
office.[32]

Critical response
Lion received generally positive reviews, with the performances of Patel and Kidman being praised.[33][34] On review
aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 85% based on 249 reviews, with a weighted average
rating of 7.3/10. The critical consensus reads, "Lion's undeniably uplifting story and talented cast make it a moving
journey that transcends the typical cliches of its genre."[35] On Metacritic the film has a normalized score of 69 out of 100,
based on 45 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[36] PostTrak reported that 92% of audience members gave the
film a rating of either "excellent" or "very good".[28]

Brian Truitt of USA Today wrote: "The finale is manipulative in every way, squeezing out the emotions of the audience.
But Lion's well-plotted narrative and thoughtful characters suck you in so much that the journey there is totally worth
it".[37] Novelist and critic Salman Rushdie thought highly of the film stating that while he often lacked interest in films
nominated for an Oscar, this year he rooted for Lion, believing that "I would like it to win in every category it's nominated
for and in most of the categories it isn't nominated for as well." Noting that he wept "unstoppably" while viewing the film,
Rushdie said that he is "frequently suspicious of Western films set in contemporary India, and so one of the things that
most impressed me about Lion was the authenticity and truth and unsparing realism of its Indian first half. Every moment
of the little boy's journey rings true – not an instant of exoticism – and as a result his plight touches us all. Greig Fraser's
cinematography portrays the beauty of the country, both honestly and exquisitely [...] Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman, in the
film's Australian second half, give wonderful performances too."[38]

Some critics mentioned that parts of the film move along at a slow pace. For example, Anthony Lane of The New Yorker
wrote: "... based on a true story; though wrenching, there is barely enough of it to fill the dramatic space, and the second
half is a slow and muted affair after the Dickensian punch of the first."[39]

Accolades
Lion received six Oscar nominations at the 89th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Patel),
Best Supporting Actress (Kidman) and Best Adapted Screenplay, but did not win in any of the categories. It did win two
BAFTA Awards, however, for Best Supporting Actor (Patel) and Best Adapted Screenplay. At Australia's 7th AACTA
Awards, it won twelve awards, in all of the categories it was nominated in.[40]
