Homebound, starring Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, is now streaming on Netflix and has received warm reactions from viewers. Neeraj Ghaywan’s award-winning film explores the deep bond between Mohammed Shoaib, a Muslim, and Chandan Kumar, a Dalit, who grow up in a small North Indian town.
Both dream of becoming police officers. They see the uniform as a path to dignity for their families and a shield against caste and religious discrimination. Viewers have called the film an eye opener and praised the honesty with which the struggle is shown.
One user said it is rare to find a film that captures the pulse of Indian youth with such sensitivity. As Homebound trends in Netflix’s Top 10 Movies, the praise for Neeraj Ghaywan’s direction continues to grow. Many also regretted missing the film in theatres.
Homebound released on 26 September and earned strong critical reviews. Backed by Karan Johar, the film has been screened at Cannes, Toronto, and Melbourne. It is also India’s official entry for the Oscars, adding to its rising reputation.
