About Homebound

Homebound is inspired by the real-life story of two best friends and has struck a chord with audiences both in India and internationally through its tender tone and sincere storytelling. The film premiered earlier this year at the prestigious Un Certain Regard section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, earning praise for its sensitive narrative and emotional depth.

Released in Indian theatres in September, Homebound was lauded for its heartfelt performances and emotional resonance by Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa. Although its theatrical run was modest, the film’s subsequent OTT release allowed it to reach a broader audience, garnering widespread acclaim and inspiring meaningful conversations online.
