Though he still suffers from mental issues, his parents revealed that he has since gotten a new psychiatrist, with whom he’s had discussions with about his childhood. In the end, the release of Lion had acted as a catalyst for him to revisit his early life-the years before he had arrived in Australia. While that may be true, however, Brierley admitted that it hasn’t all been negative. In their words, “[the film[ had unhinged his health for quite a while.” In fact, it had led him to be quite upset-as it had presumably reminded him of many events, ones that he’d rather have forgotten. Despite their vast differences in personality, however, Saroo wrote that the two of them enjoyed many outdoor activities together.Īccording to an interview with the Brierley’s, his adoptive parents, the movie Lion did not sit well with Mantosh at the beginning. In contrast to Saroo, who was happy and high achieving, he was loud and disobedient, both at home and in school. According to the book, Mantosh has always been troubled from the very beginning.

By the end of the film, all we were told is that as an adult, he lived in a shack with what appears to be mental illness and/or addiction issues.Ĭonsidering the limited information that was provided in the biopic, we had to turn our attention to Saroo’s memoir, to learn more about his brother. Instead, his character was more or less existed used to represent a symbol-a reminder that not every adopted child gets to live a full life like Saroo.

As gut-wrenching as his story is, however, it was never told in great detail in the biopic. The Brierley’s second adoptive son, Mantosh often engaged in self-harming behavior as a child, something that was depicted in the film.
