We've got a lot of coal!

Show me!

Ohhh, so much!

You kept telling me how little I am...

...but see how clever I am?

That's right, you are!

You jumped from so high! What a leap!

Yes great heights!

Give them some milk - two packets.

Guddu, I want some jalebis!

One day I will buy you some jalebis.

We'll buy the whole shop.

Ha, alright.

Which way should I go now?

Left, left!

Which way now?

Right, right.

Do you want to drink some milk?

I got some milk!

Hey.

It's magic.

Tell me now...

...how did you get the milk?

Be honest.

Guddu? Saroo?

No.

Okay, Shekila, I have to work now.

Who's going to look after Shekila?

My Saroo?

Come. Eat.

Sleep... Sleep.

How long will you be away for?

You did a really good job today.

I want to come too.

How many days?

I'm going for a week.

Who's going to look after Shekila?

Kallu will be here.

You're too small to lift bales.

I can lift anything.

Guddu.

Can I come too?

You're too small, you can't do this.

I can lift anything.

Saroo.

I've told you.

It's night work. Not for kids.

Go, go. You're too small.

Saroo, leave it.

I can lift this.

Okay, fine.

Hey, Guddu!

Hey! How are you, Shankar?

Saroo, come on, wake up now!

Saroo, wake up.

I want to sleep.

I want to sleep.

Saroo, wake up

Don't annoy me. I am sleeping.

It's my fault.

I brought you here.

You're too young for the night work.

It's so late. You will never be able to work.

Saroo,

Saroo, I'm going to find out about work, okay?

And then I'll come back.

You wait here, don't go anywhere.

Guddu.

Just bring back a hundred jalebis.

You want jalebis?

I want to go home. Ganestalay.

Ganestalay?

Ganestalay?

Go away!

I want to go home.

Speak Bengali! I don't understand you.

Move!

Ganestalay?

Don't walk on that, you'll fall off.

What's the matter, you don't understand Bengali?

Do you understand Hindi?

Yes.

Where are you going?

I have to go home. I am lost.

Did you come from this way or that way?

I don't know which way.

Then how will you go?

What's your name?

Saroo.

My name is Noor.

You're hungry?

Come on...

Come inside.

Come on, come on!

I have to do all this...

...make lunch boxes for all the men.

You have to feed your stomach, you know.

Everybody has to work.

I help my mum...

...to carry rocks.

Your mum carries rocks?

What is this?

Just drink.

Leave some for me!

Huh?

And now a bit of soap...

There is a man...

...and he is called Rama.

He's a very good man.

He helps everyone.

He will help you too.

He's coming tomorrow morning.

Is he going to help me look for my mum?

Mm.

He's going to help you look for your mum.

Hmm?

Close your eyes...

...go to sleep.

Sleep.

Oh, my baby...

...were you sleeping?

I wonder what worlds you've travelled in.

Are you Rama?

Yes, but not the God.

Ah...

Come and lie down.

Come closer.

Do you know, I've come to meet you from really far away...

...and I want to take you to a really nice place.

Are you going to take me to Mum?

And from there we're going to try and look for your mum.

I'll be back tonight...

...and then we'll search.

Huh?

Get up!

Come closer.

Say "thank you".

Thank you.

You've done well.

He's exactly what they're looking for.

What happened, you didn't drink?

You don't like it?

Hmm?

Why are you down?

Drink this.

Saroo!

Saroo!

Saroo!

Good boy!

Go pick up the small ones.

Go pick up the small ones.

Good boy!

Good boy.

Good boy.

Good boy!

Who's my good boy?

Who is it?

I'm sorry, Mum.

So I came out of the cafe...

...and started talking to him.

I realized he doesn't speak a word of Bengali.

He only speaks Hindi.

I asked him where he was from.

He replied with only one word... "Ganestalay".

- Ganestalay? - Ganestalay.

I've never heard of it.

Ganestalay.

Okay, which district is Ganestalay in?

Which district is Ganestalay in?

What is your mother's name?

Mum.

What's your name?

Amita.

This is a very bad place.

Does anybody ever leave here?

I've seen it.

What are you going to do once you leave?

I'm going to buy a watch.

Did you write it?

Hey, Shondeep! What are you doing?

Stop!

Shondeep!

Stop! Stop right now!

Why are you being so naughty?

Shondeep!

Come with me, I'm going to give you a good beating!

You won't get away with this!

Hey. Hey.

Hey! Shondeep!

Shondeep!

Come on!

Look this way, look this way.

It's me.

It's okay, I'll take him.

Bring him back before morning.

Hey. Hey.

Yes, Saroo.

My name is Mrs. Sood. Come sit here.

It's my job to make sure that

...there isn't a single kid here

...who should be somewhere else.

That's why I'm here.

People don't like me here.

Look at this.

We have been asking around about you for a long time.

We have published it in the newspaper.

In all the newspapers in Calcutta.

15 million people read this paper.

That's a lot of people.

But we haven't...

...had a single reply.

My home is really far.

Not one reply.

What about Mum?

No...

...not even Mum.

Guddu?

Saroo.

We have found a family over in Australia...

...who want to look after you.

Do you know where Australia is?

Would you like to see them?

Come.

I'll show you.

Come sit here.

Look.

Look at this. This is John...

...and this is Sue.

This...

...this is their home.

They live in Tasmania...

...a small island...

...and everyone there is really nice.

They are such nice people!

Aren't they?

Keep this with you, and keep it safe.

OK?

Saroo.

Son, you can't stay here.

Hmm?

Did you really look for my mum?

Looked everywhere.

You'll have a nice home.

Australia is a great place.

Does everybody have a napkin?

This is called a "serviette".

Serviette.

Lay it down on your lap like this so that food doesn't fall on your clothes.

So it doesn't ruin them.

I'm going to teach you how to eat using cutlery.

I will ask you, and you will tell me in English... what each thing is called.

What do you call this?

Fork.

Fork. Yes, good.

What do you call this?

- Nice. - Knife.

Knife.

Not "nice"..."knife".

Okay?

- Good. - Knife.

And this?

- Spoon. - Spoon.

- Spoon. Good. - Spoon.

Okay, Manisha, you tell me... What is this?

Try to remember...

- Salt. - Salt.

Very good.

- Pepper. - Pepper.

Pepper.

In here.

Saroo.

This is your mum and dad.

Say hello.

No, Give me five rupees.

...then I'll carry them all.

Okay, you win, take this.

He was carrying a watermelon and didn't see it coming.

Stay right there.

Weren't you supposed to look after him?

Where were you?

Don't you love him?

Mum.

I used to live here.

I used to...

Can I help?

Um... uh...

Ammi?

Saroo!

Saroo. Saroo.

Oh, how I looked for you!

Yeah? The watermelons.
