Hot on the heels of Lion comes another needle-in-a-haystack mystery set in India. Beyond the Known World will no doubt garner many comparisons to Lion; it is set predominantly in India, concerns the search of a missing family member, and has a contingent of Australasian cast members - one of whom is David Wenham (who also starred in Lion). However, despite these similarities the film is quite different in many respects ... and it will cost you a lot less in tissues.
