Great until Dev Patel

Saw this movie last weekend. Sunny Pawar and Abhishek Bharate stole my heart and since then I can't get it back. Wished they met in the near time, or at least at the movie closing scene, but got devastated to know Guddu died by the time Saroo fell asleep.

That said, I feel like the movie was epic until Dev Patel showed up. Sunny Pawar is just so charming and charismatic that it raised the bar too high for Dev. Does anyone else think the same?
