Critic Review
Lion (2015) The story of the film starts off with Bose(Balakrishna) ​coming back to life after staying in a coma for eighteen months. As soon as he recovers, Bose is ​suddenly ​mistaken as Godse by everyone around him.​ ​Bose keeps convincing all of them that he is not Godse and has his own story. Who is this Bose ? What does he have to do with Godse? What is t​he​ story behind all this ​confusion ? And where do Radhika Apte and Trisha feature in this set up. That forms the rest of the story.​​.

this movie too has its share of flaws as newcomer filmmaker fail to fill all the loopholes in the script. Few logics fall flat. But the end result is better than Balayya's previous films. Pre-climax portions could have been handled well. Climax is decent .

'Lion' is a mass entertainer that will keep fans happy. This is a different attempt from Balakrishna and his efforts are commendable. A superb interval block and high voltage scenes in the second half are assets. However, a poor first half drags the film .
