The saddest part..

Pretty sure the saddest part is Nicole Kidman's pathetic efforts at staying 20-something.

For me it was the end...When the real Saroo introduced his two moms to each other I felt that moment was very powerful and it was filmed well.

~What if this is as good as it gets?!~

I thought the bit where the kids start singing in the orphanage after that one kid gets taken out was pretty sad, some of them would have had no prospects in their future at all

What happened to Guddu? The text disappeared too fast for me to read it. I just saw that he had died that night.

Brideshead is A Thousand Moments and MacBeth

Same here! My heart broke and I was aching so much for him when I learned that his brother died on the same night! I could only imagine the anguish their mother must've felt all those years—first in losing both her sons; then learning the eldest son was dead, and probably thinking the other was too; and then finally having her youngest son in a way return to her from the dead after all that time! Perhaps his older brother's last concern or thought was for his younger brother and for him not to suffer a similar fate as he and that's why Providence sent him to Australia for his ultimate preservation not unlike the Biblical Joseph being sold into slavery in Egypt.

I agree that the brother being dead was the saddest for me...the next being him first seeing his natural mother again

All of the above. The parts that especially got to me however, were minor scenes, but effective, thanks to Sunny Pawar's natural performance:

- The scene with the spoon. The kid's face when he motioned that he was hungry was so genuine, it was touching.

- The scene where he gets run over by the scooter, and he runs home bleeding.

- The final scene where the brothers were playing on the tracks. Once again, genuine, and touching.

Really? I thought dis wuz a comedy and wuz lolin entire time
