What was Ram planning to do with Saroo in Lion?
In the movie Lion, what was the duo of Noor and Ram planning to do with Saroo? Or is it left ambiguous? (in this case what are the most likely candidates?)
Best Answer
It was somewhat ambiguous. There was certainly a strong implication that Ram was up to something sexual, the way he lays on the bed next to Saroo and checks out his physique. But it could also have been that they were just going to adopt him out like what actually ended up happening to him. We never really find out.
It also seemed like the people who ran the orphanage were "lending" out some of the children for something lascivious at night. It seemed like they were having Shondeep, the child who keeps hitting himself, do something with men who would come by at night. They tell the men, "Have him back by morning."
Likewise, it seemed like the men chasing the children in the tunnels were either selling them into slavery or using them in some similar way. My point being, there seemed to be a large market for young children for a variety of illegal purposes in India at that time.

What did Rama want with Saroo?
The implication is that the man wants Saroo for a child sex ring. One of the young boys in the orphanage is taken out in the night by guards. The guards give the boy to someone and tell that person to have the boy back by dawn.What was Noor trying to do with Saroo?
Saroo was alone in a dangerous big city. A young woman, Noor, realized that Saroo was lost, alone, and unable to get back home. She brought him into her home and cleaned him up. She told him that Rama would come soon, and that Rama is a good man who helps everyone.Why does Saroo run away from Noor?
She tells Saroo that a man named Rama will help him find his way home. Saroo runs away, sensing that Noor and Rama have sinister intentions, and escapes Noor when she chases after him.

One of those stories is that of Mantosh \u2013 the other child adopted by Sue and John Brierley (along with the film's protagonist, Saroo) whose atrocious experience in Indian orphanages has left him battling severe mental illness. The film didn't tie a bow around his story.Saroo Brierley Went Through ‘Hell On Earth’ Before Reuniting With His Mother | TODAY
