Does 'Lion' have subtitles?

[CoffeeDiamonds]

Can't find the answer anywhere!!

Just for the bits where they speak hindi or Benghali

I watched the first 20 min and no subtitles. I am confused .

The first hour or so is pretty much all subtitles the second half is in English.

all the first half is in subtitles, but there is not a lot of speaking and you barely notice.

Yes. Over an hour of the film is Saroo as a child and it is subtitled
Look at the first few seconds of this YouTube clip.

Melly - you can't have been watching Lion unless you are fluent in Hindi surely?

Amazing movie, and you don't notice the subtitles after all of 2 minutes.

I saw this the other day and had to think! So yes, although there were subtitles they weren't in the least obtrusive. A must-see IMO, and I say that for precious few.

You can download them. Ask one of your teenage acquaintances. She or he will do it in no time.

I had a Brazilian boffin do it for me but sadly his visa expired and got booted out of the UK.

It does, but they're easy to follow. Really beautiful film, I enjoyed it.

Yes the first half is subtitled

It's an absolutely fantastic film best film I have seen for a long time and should have won at least one Oscar

I've seen it twice. The first 40 mins or so had subtitles, but it's such a brilliant film I hardly noticed them

Sherbrooke as someone who works in the film industry, thanks for suggesting piracy!

FFS.

Best film I've seen in ages.

Fab film and bought the book afterwards as well. That was very well written - an easy read. Lovely to see photos of the young boy who played Saroo enjoying himself with the actors at the recent awards.

Yes to subtitles for the first half of the film but hardly noticeable. Absolutely stunning film - especially the shots of Dev Patel with his shirt off (sorry to lower the tone )

Yes for the first part of the film- but I hardly noticed, only remembered now you're asking.

Surprised it hasn't had more praise or awards/acknowledgement.
It was one of my favourites over the last few months

I thought all films had subtitles nowadays?

Hi OP just moving this over to Films - shout if that's a problem!

Onion
The first half of the film is not in English hence the subtitles

Perhaps OP actually wants subtitles to understand the dialogue all the way through? Deaf people exist...

In which case look for subtitled screenings on www.yourlocalcinema.com or wait for the DVD - most but far from all DVDs have subtitles, and few bother subtitling any of the extras. Jim Henson films often don't subtitle at all. Ever tried lipreading a Muppet?

Loved this movie. DH, DD and I all wept through it. The book is great too- the story is so compelling.

I love a subtitle. It keeps me properly focussed throughout. I don't think I would have enjoyed The Killing nearly as much without them.

I went to Lion with DD this week. We absolutely loved it but in our cinema the sound was painfully loud. I had to turn my hearing aids down and DD had her hands over her ears for the first 40 minutes. But it was worth it and Nicole Kidman was a revelation. And as for little Saroo..... and his Mum.....

I have been watching this for the first 20 mintues but no subtitles are available.

I watched this on Netflix and there are no subtitles. Does anyone know how to get the subtitles while watching on Netflix?

I'm just butting in to say that this is a beautiful film, adapted from a true story of an Australian man who was lost as a child in India and tries as an adult to find his village - and his mother. Highly recommended.

(Yes it has subtitles)
