The moment You realize no matter how much Saroo/Sheru went through to get back what that woman felt losing both her boys in one night, and then one suddenly appearing years later.. the whole village mourned them it was obvious.. She was in terrible pain for many years, just imagine when she saw her grown healthy son standing there how much she felt in that moment.. I just can't comprehend that kind of joy.

[@user-kw8go6ok5g]

I cry every time, especially when they mention Guddu ;-; makes me wish I had a better bond with my younger brother, who hates me more than he loves me. I try every day to show him how much I love him, hugging him, kissing him, but every hug ends with me being pushed away, every kiss wiped off of his cheek. Sometimes I'll hate him back, with all of his name calling, and the pain he's caused, but that doesn't ever change how I feel about him in the long run. And when we do have moments of connection, it's like there's nothing else in the world. Oh, brothers.

[@scanspeak00]

Guddu was hit by a train on the night he left him which is why he didn't make it back to Saroo.

[@harshmajra]

RL. yes, Thats just a memory (in the movie). Guddu left him, and They both never saw each other again. It may also be his childhood memory of him (Gudu) Looking out for his brother.

[@fsd2696]

scanspeak00 oh my goodness. That makes complete sense as to why Guddu never returned back to Saroo. Saroo was looking for him when he woke up. I thought Guddu died, *looking* for Saroo when he lost him but you could be right. He probably died on his way back after he told Saroo, “stay right here I’ll be back” I’m so slow😅

[@obscurelyvague]

What I find strange and curious is that his mother reportedly stayed in the village all these years and did not move from the location because she "knew" that her son would come back some day .

[@lamaimam9607]

L Martinez we brown people strongly believe in a mother's intuition.

[@alexandragolightly410]

L Martinez why would she leave if she knew that's the last place her son knew she was ?? If she moved there would have been 0 chance of him finding her

[@obscurelyvague]

Her young son essentially disappeared without there being any clue as to where he could have gone. In the movie it is said that "Lion's" older brother died when he got hit by a train (or that is what I best recall). I am not sure if that is why the older brother never returned to pick up "Lion" from the train station, or maybe the older brother died weeks or months after "Lion" disappeared. It is true that Lion's mother might have stayed in the same location because it would make it easier for her son to find her someday, but it is still amazing that nothing happened that she had to move, such as the village being flooded and people have to migrate out of it, or maybe the mother got very sick and had to be taken to a village that is nearer to a hospital and even though it is a primitive and poor village in which any major renovations or changes ( the construction of buildings and roads) are not likely to happen for decades because the location is remote and there is nothing much for anyone to want to travel there, it is just lucky that the village stayed mainly the same as when Lion was a boy so that he could come back and remember where he had been as a child.

[@juliz2500]

Well yes and Saroo says in his book that this was all she could do, since she couldn't read or write, didn't have any photos of him and so couldn't report him as missing. While he was using Google Earth and obsessively looking for his place of birth for six years, his mother relied on her faith and stayed where he could find her. I cried reading this, it's so touching and powerful.

[@TheRafe45]

Parents of children who disappear rarely move because they believe their missing child will return home

This beautiful story is very touching to me, I feel Saroo and his loneliness and I'm so happy that he finally found his family. I'm not adopted, but I live in Italy and my mother is from the Philippines. I've never met my filipino grandparents and their family in 30 years and I feel pretty similar to Saroo, having a big void inside me. I can only imagine how Saroo felt when he met his mother and his native town. I hope one day I will meet my grandparents and I wish the same to adopted people who has never met their parents.
