From a filmmaker’s perspective, Mari Selvaraj said that Neeraj Ghaywan’s newest movie, homebound, is quite moving and strong. In his X post, Selvaraj stated that he had seen the film and provided some very perceptive and sensitive observations about the director’s skill and emotional range as well as on his own narration style. “Sending you a warm embrace from the southern tip of this country” he said.

Many have turned to social media to praise the performances, writing, and sensitive approach to the issues. Among the little who watched it worldwide, the movie has fast gained popular interest and is now available on Netflix.
Homebound is also running for India’s Oscar this year. Given that this two directors’ for Neeraj Ghaywan after the very successful Masaan back in 2015, this is enormous for the movie. With its deftly shown mix of strong emotions and pungent social commentary-the very trademarks of Ghaywan’s filmmaking-the freshly released trailer started an exhilarating rush.
Homebound’s Un Certain Regard screening at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year received a nine-minute standing ovation. With Ishan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor starring, the movie also came in second for the International People’s Choice Award at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.
Two northern Indian childhood friends who want to join the police force thinking it would give them the celebrity society has long denied them are the center of the movie. The voyage proves to be anything but easy sailing with many conflicts expectant with startling reality; it becomes the emotional hyperlink of the story.
Today, another great director, Mr. Martin Scorsese, gave Dharma Productions’ homebound efforts keen attention. Shot by Prateek Shah and edited by Nitin Baid, the film is an artistic interpretation of Basharat Peer’s article and Neeraj Ghaywan’s screenplay.
