What Is Homebound About
Homebound tells the emotional story of two childhood friends from a small village in North India. They share a common dream of becoming police officers, hoping that the job will finally bring them the respect and dignity they have always wanted. However, their journey is not easy. As they get closer to achieving their goal, they face immense pressure and struggles that begin to test their lifelong friendship. The film is based on a real-life story from a powerful 2020 New York Times article by Basharat Peer, which followed two migrant workers during the COVID-19 lockdown.
A Film That Has Already Won Hearts Globally
Even before its official release in India, Homebound has received huge international recognition. The film had its grand premiere at the prestigious 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it was showcased in the Un Certain Regard section to great acclaim. Adding to its list of achievements, the film recently dominated the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2025, where it won two of the biggest awards: Best Film and Best Director for Neeraj Ghaywan. This proves that the film has a powerful story that connects with audiences everywhere.
The Martin Scorsese Connection
One of the most exciting facts about Homebound is its connection to the legendary Hollywood director, Martin Scorsese. The iconic filmmaker, known for classics like Goodfellas and The Wolf of Wall Street, has served as an executive producer on the film. He was deeply involved in the project, helping director Neeraj Ghaywan with the script and even watching three different cuts of the film during the editing process.
