Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, Produced by Karan Johar
Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, known for his critically acclaimed work in Masaan, and produced by Karan Johar, Homebound has been strategically showcased at various international film festivals before heading for a theatrical release. Johar chose to premiere the film on a global platform rather than going for a direct theatrical release initially — a move that paid off, especially after the overwhelming response at Cannes.

At the Cannes premiere, Homebound received a standing ovation, capturing the attention of international critics and audiences alike. The film’s powerful emotional narrative and socially relevant theme resonated with global viewers, marking it as one of the standout films of the festival.
A Story Rooted in Friendship and Social Struggles
Set in a village in Northern India, Homebound follows the story of two childhood friends who dream of joining the national police force. Their aspiration stems from a desire to escape their marginalized circumstances. However, their journey is met with systemic inequality, personal trials, and societal obstacles, making their path both emotional and intense.
