Saroo, an Indian child of five years, lives in the district of Ganesh Talai in the city of Khandwa. He goes with his older brother Guddu, and take a train to another city. Guddu says to his young-brother that he goes to find something and asks him to wait at the station. But Guddu doesn’t reappear. Saroo takes refuge with a train and falls asleep. When he wakes up, he is situated at the station from Howrah to Calcutta. Lost in the streets of the big city, he is finally taken to an orphanage, then he is adopted by a couple of Australians. Approxiametly twenty years later, he always thinks of his Indian family. One day, he decides to find her. Is he going to succeed ? This movie is splendid. It is very moving, it is difficult to go out of the cinema without a tear in the corner of the eye. The landscapes of India are magnificent, such as musics. The actors are great in particular the young person, Sunny Pawar, which plays the Indian of five years. I really advice this movie for the people who like movies inspired by real stories. However, for certain people, the movie can be a little bit long because it lasts 118 minutes. Moreover, the flashbacks are sometimes a little bit repetitive. To finish, the second part of the movie (when Saroo is adult) is too fast than when he was a child.

The cast includes Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara, David Wenham and Sunny Pawar. It is a biographical and dramatic movie.

Saroo, an Indian child of five years, lives in the district of Ganesh Talai in the city of Khandwa. He goes with his older brother Guddu to take a train to another city. Guddu says to his younger brother that he is going to find something and asks him to wait at the station. But Guddu doesn’t reappear. Saroo takes refuge in a train and falls asleep. When he wakes up, he at the station between Howrah to Calcutta. Lost in the streets of the big city, he is finally taken to an orphanage, where he is adopted by a couple of Australians.

This movie is splendid. It is very moving, it is difficult to leave of the cinema without a tear in the corner of your eye. The landscapes of India are magnificent, as well as the music. The actors are great in particular Sunny Pawar, which plays the 5 year old indian child. I really recommend this movie for people who like movies inspired by real stories. However, for some people, the movie could be a little bit long because it lasts 118 minutes. Moreover, the flashbacks are sometimes a little bit repetitive. As well, the second part of the movie (when Saroo is an adult) is much faster than when he was a child.


Vous avez bien fait. Il est important d'éviter la répétition du mot "movie". On peut aussi utilise le mot film, où décrire le film comme une histoire. Aussi, si un film est fait par quelqu'un, on dit que c'est "a film by _____", not "a film of _____".

Bonne chance avec vos études d'anglais!
