Homebound Box Office Predictions: Homebound is a film from 2025, to be directed by Neeraj Ghaywan. Whose emotional storyline mixed with social relevance tops off an impressive cast. That includes Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jehtwa with a rare nuance seldom attempted for mass-market action films. Pawan Kalyan’s OG is flooding the internet with its promo, thus asking the question: How much can Homebound endure at the box office?
The film is set for a restrained opening in India, grossing an estimated ₹1 crore to ₹1.75 crore on its first day. While these are small numbers in terms of competition with big-budget releases, the strong prospect that the film has overseas may hedge its chances in sustaining performance in due course of time.
Homebound is a social drama with an emotional depth that generally appeals to a niche audience who relish storytelling and performances over the spectacles. Hence, its initial footfall would be far lesser than those high-octane flicks like OG or Kantara Chapter 1.
With a particularly limited campaign, the relatively small promotional effort simply has not set off the needed larger-than-life interest that saw a lot of its competitors spring into life. Besides, with lesser events inviting the stars to promote and even less lead promotion, the first few days of public reception may be less picture-worthy.
OG, Kantara Chapter 1, and Sunnu Sankari Ki Tulsi Kumari are the heavyweights coming from Dasara 2025, knocking majorly against the competition. Massive competition may siphon off a good section of the audience, especially those after easy entertainment, from serious drama.
Currently, being selected as India’s official entry for the 98th Academy Awards, Homebound gets a big push of positivity. On the other hand, with good reviews and word-of-mouth publicity. The film could pull collections for some weeks, albeit overshadowed on its first day by bigger commercial releases.

Homebound might not garner immense attention just after OG. But now, because of its emotional treatment and international recognition, it does deserve a decent box office run. Keeping in mind the audiences who appreciate substance over pure hype, the film might as well create that impact.
