The Lion Hindi Movie Work Jun 2026

As the release date approaches, the marketing campaign continues to drop cryptic teasers and stunning posters, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. The Lion isn't just a movie; it’s being positioned as a cultural event that aims to redefine the action genre in India.

The film opens in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh. We meet five-year-old Saroo (a revelatory performance by Sunny Pawar), who lives in extreme poverty with his mother, Kamla, and his older brother, Guddu. One night, Saroo insists on accompanying Guddu to a job at a nearby railway station. Exhausted, Saroo falls asleep on a stationary train. When he wakes up, the train is hurtling across India, locked from the inside. After a terrifying journey, he lands in Kolkata (then Calcutta), nearly 1,500 kilometers away from home. the lion hindi movie
